Todd Cerveris has been busy recently in his ‘day job,’ as an actor in two productions: first, in A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE, at Long Wharf Theatre, and then BASKERVILLE, at Alabama Shakespeare Festival. A certain cultural yin and yang, you might say.

Bailey Jordan Garcia has two very exciting project’s coming up. The first is their new full-length “Crazy Jezebels” which is getting a staged reading within PlayGround’s “Festival of New Works” on May 20th at 7pm EST. In addition, their 10-minute play “Thanks for the Mammaries!” (developed at PlayGround-NY) is getting a run at CapitalQ 2024 Theatre Festival this June!

Dana’s play BARDTOPIA, performed at PlayGround-NY this past season, is a finalist for Red Bull Theater’s Short New Play Festival. Fingers crossed!
