Danae Bray
Known for warm, witty storytelling, Danae finds humor in everyday life, from growing up in the swamps of Florida to wandering beneath Montana's wide-open skies. Her stand-up feels like catching up with a friend who helps you laugh at the chaos. Whether it's a small mishap or a full-blown existential detour, Danae reminds us that things might be messy now but hey, one day you die. Might as well laugh.

Steph Burda
Stephanie Burda is a professional writer now, but was probably a semi-professional writer as a baby. She’s lied to the Church of Scientology, ruffled a few feathers in the British Town Crier community, and has never quite gotten the hang of cast iron. Advertising creative by day, Steph has touched several local productions, including: RAGTIME (Evelyn Nesbit), ONCE (Music Director/Girl), THE LAST FIVE YEARS (Cathy), BONNIE & CLYDE (Bonnie), and the self-produced IASB I & II: 30 ORIGINAL PLAYS IN 60 MINUTES. She is the shortest member of local alt-pop band The Sleepless Elite.

Kyrie Dawson

Directing credits include: F*king A, Puffs, and The Curators (Verge Theater), and Late, A Cowboy Song (Blue Slipper Theater).

Marla Goodman
An obsession with a rare and fascinating musical instrument propelled Bozeman grandmother Marla Goodman's unlikely trajectory into performance art. Her "Vinyl Sisters Theremin Show" combines visual art, storytelling, and music produced live on the Theremin, a gesture controlled synthesizer invented in 1920. In an imaginary world enhanced by Goodman's kitsch-infused contemporary art and quirky collage animations, Polly & Dolly Vinyl perform songs spanning from folk to film scores as they share their wildly fictional family history.

Chace McNinch
Chace is a boisterous yet enigmatic multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, & comedian. With a music career that’s taken her across Planet Earth, she has worked as a touring and session musician for various projects between the cities of St. Louis, Nashville, and Portland before becoming a resident of Bozeman, Montana. When not on the road, she now works as a performer and accompanist for Last Best Comedy's various improv teams in Bozeman.

Jeff Medley
Jeff Medley has been acting on Missoula stages since 2008 and began dabbling in film around 2011 or so. Prior to acting, he had an epiphany about how it was that beards arrived on Earth. Beards From Beyond started in Missouri in the late 90s and began to take shape when he moved to Japan in 2004. These creatures, symbiotic mostly, their journey, and their songs have been percolating/festering in Medley's mind since then, but that makes sense as he also spends a ridiculous amount of time in his head watching all the varied fragments of ideas bouncing around willy nilly with little hope of ever being brought to fruition.

Tyler Potter
I am writer who lives and works in missoula, montana. I want to express our collective alienation and maladaptation. The truth under the surface of our performance and the denial of the performance itself.

Cora Roseberry
Cora Roseberry has been a creative spirit from the very beginning, with her artwork featured in shows as early as age three. She discovered her passion for theater at 11 in a production of Matilda the Musical, and has been dedicated to the stage ever since. Cora has worked in many facets of theater—including acting, tech, and stagehand roles—but always knew her true goal was to direct. After several unsuccessful pitches, she earned her first directing opportunity at the inaugural Livingston Fringe Fest with her original production Ducks in a Row. Since then, she has continued performing while developing new writing projects. Outside of theater, Cora enjoys playing D&D, reading, drawing, watercolor painting, and spending time outdoors.

John Roseberry
John Roseberry is a geomorphologist and a father of four. Most of his time is spent balancing work, family life, and getting on the river whenever possible. He’s new to theater and playwriting, coming to it from a background in science and a long-standing interest in storytelling.

The Sleepless Elite
The Sleepless Elite is a cinematic alternative rock band known for haunting melodies, powerful female-forward vocals, and emotionally immersive storytelling. Fronted by three dynamic female voices, the band blends atmospheric soundscapes with driving rhythms and layered harmonies to create music that feels both intimate and epic. Their songs explore resilience, mythology, and the human experience, delivered through visually striking performances and cinematic production. With a growing presence across streaming platforms, live shows, and sync placements, The Sleepless Elite is carving out a distinctive lane where alternative rock meets cinematic pop — bold, evocative, and built to leave a lasting impression.

Gus Yeager
