Will Manning (WOODY) is from Fair Grove, Missouri. He now lives in Washington Heights. Somewhere in the middle, he lived in Kansas City and Chicago, though not at the same time. That would have been too much. Will just finished a go at Wordbridge 2007 where he worked with a wonderful group of people in South Carolina. His lucky streak through this festival regarding opportunities to work with beautiful hearts and minds. Will is so grateful to be telling stories with people he genuinely cares about. Thank you for being here, too.
Jamie Neumann (DOMMIE) is pleased as hell to be performing in the Fringe Festival again. Even more lovely is being able to work closely with friends and family putting this show together. Being from New Orleans, Jamie loves the south and Louisiana in particular.... and being a natural born slut, the role of Dommie was a God send. I only hope to do my mama proud with all the ass grabbing and cleavage. Mama, this one's for you.
Keith Johnston (BIG POSSUM) has been performing professionally for 28 years in theater, television, film and radio.

Music and theatre has taken him around the world with several recording artists (Jon Hendricks, Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam, Living Color, and Olu Dara). As Artistic Director of American Theatre of Harlem he recently wrote "Stone tales" (children's show) which had its debut this summer in the A.R.T. NY Summer Youth Festival."
