Jonathan is from Hinton Alberta. He trained in New York at the Neighborhood Playhouse School of the Theatre, Upright Citizens Brigade, and Larry Moss Studios. As an actor he has worked alongside Liev Shreiber, Joaquin Phoenix and Kali Reis, and is proud to have been directed by Joe Wladyka and Lynn Ramsey. This is Jonathan’s fourth project as a director, including a production of JP Shanely’s The Dreamer Examines His Pillow at the Cloud City Theatre in Brooklyn New York, and most recently, Inferior at the 2024 Vancouver Fringe Festival.

Ryan’s not as old as Jesus or Andy Maton, but he’s been acting awhile now. He’s appeared on TV trying to convince you to buy nearly every product known to
man, and most recently made appearances on Apple TV’s Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, Netflix’s Firefly Lane and Disney’s Percy Jackson and the Olympians. It’s been an honor to work on this fantastic play with Jon, Vanessa, Andy and Patricia. You never know what you can create when you get together in your basement with a dedicated group of artists and lean into writing from one of our great living playwrights. It also meant every time they came over he was forced to clean his basement, and make it smell nice. Ryan is especially thankful to his kids, and incredible wife. They’re literally the reason he gets up every day. He makes breakfast and lunches. But they’re the real reason he feels so full of love, support, and gratitude. Making them happy, laugh and angry, is the best part of his everyday. Thank you Jenn, Angus, Beatrice and Estelle. I love you. He also sends a huge thank you to you for coming to support the arts!

Vanessa is grateful to read a tale for you with this merry band of players. She graduated from the University of Minnesota BFA Acting Program, then promptly moved to New York City joining the ensemble cast of the 2010 Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival. Vanessa has been working on the west coast in film and TV since 2011. Her credits include: Longlegs, Murdaugh Murders: The Movie, The Irrational, Wilderness and Van Helsing. She is thrilled to be back on the stage.
