Elena Faverio is an actor, creator, and maker of artistic shenanigans. Current artistic work can be found on their eponymously named YouTube channel! Regional Theatre: Miep Gies in The Diary of Anne Frank (Patchogue Theatre), Antonio Salieri in Amadeus (EastLine Theatre), Mary-Kate Olsen in Mary-Kate Olsen is in Love (The Lab at Williamstown). International Credits: PX in Born on a Monday (Edinburgh Fringe Festival)

Thea Kraus (she/her) is a recent graduate of LIU Post. You may remember her in Cuckoo’s Nest as McMurphy or columbinus as Faith. She’d like to thank EastLine for the continued opportunities and support. Enjoy!

Jess Reed has appeared at EastLine Theatre in several productions, including their first foray into the virtual as Nora Helmer in A Doll’s House. Other favorite roles include Edith (Pirates of Penzance), Percy Talbot (The Spitfire Grill), and Isabelle Grossman (Crossing Delancey). Jess is an avid D&D player and a newcomer to actual play streaming! She will be returning to SlaydiesATL’s Hunt for the Heart Shards this February on Twitch. She can be found on Twitter as @bardicbelle and at her website jess-reed.com.

Nicole Elyse Shaw is beyond excited to be involved with this incredible production of Adventurers Anonymous and working with this awesome team of artists! Some of her favorite prior roles include Female Greek Chorus in How I Learned to Drive and Beverly in The Shadow Box. Other than this wonderful play, she is currently getting her MA in Drama Therapy at NYU and working for Creative Gods Production Company. 

Anna Stacy (they/she) is an actor, musician, medical student, and multi-tasker from New York. Favorite credits include Touchstone (As You Like It, Match: Lit), Marc Antony (Julius Caesar, Hamlet Isn’t Dead), and Jess (Ugly Lies the Bone, Rites and Reason Theatre). Offstage and outside the hospital, Anna loves horror movies, regardless of quality. Check out more of their work in the award-winning web series Dead-Enders, or visit anna-stacy.squarespace.com.

Nick Saxton is a composer based in Melbourne, Australia. One time he licked the ceiling of the fridge and a piece of his tongue got stuck up there. This is his first time being involved with EastLine and he’s looking forward to continuing to do what he does best: Not following any kind of sleep schedule and making fun noises! PEACE.

Aly Kantor can’t believe you’re reading this, because it means all of her wildest dreams have come true! In 2018, Aly played DnD on the EastLine stage as Debra in Kimberly Akimbo, and nobody has successfully managed to get rid of her since – so you’ve probably seen her flailing around in some stuff. She hopes to be flailing around in more stuff soon. In the meantime, this! Love shows up <3

Aly would also like to thank those who helped her build this playground:

Nick, who is too good for this world and too talented for his own good.
Matt, for pressing all the right buttons and saying all the right things.
Danny, for more than can fit on a line in a program. He knows.
Nicole Savin, for always making everything sparkle in so many lovely little ways.
The Muses for asking the right questions when it mattered.
Jess, for Mastering the Dungeon (like a boss).
Thea, for always knowing when to play the flute.
Anna, for finding the very best in the worst.
Nicole Shaw, for loving the hard-to-love so we can, too.
Elena, for being the change and making it better. 
You are all SO loved.
