Worked as run-crew, costume and professional actor for 7 years at Penobscot Theatre Company in Bangor, Maine, post BA. Began producing short films just before the pandemic while living in Los Angeles.

My acting career has been on hold because my daughter was diagnosed ASD with a Speech Language Processing disorder at 3 years old in the middle of Covid. She is now happy, healthy and thriving so I am very excited to begin acting again. Thank you for your consideration.

Born and raised in Missoula, Montana, Van Lang Pham is a multi-disciplinary artist who has acted, sung and played music for various organizations around the Puget Sound. An alumni of the University of Puget Sound, Van has sung with various a cappella groups, and has played saxophone for the Seattle Wind Symphony and toured Europe with the Tacoma Concert Band.

I have been directing and performing in Seattle area theaters since 2006. I am a graduate of the Roosevelt High School theatre program under Ruben Van Kempen, and then studied acting methods and film acting at New York Film Academy. In 2009 I co-founded STAGEright Theatre, and we produced 21 shows from 2009-2017. In addition to performing, directing and producing, I'm also a theatrical photographer. I am now working for ~7 different theatres shooting their production photos. I've linked that webpage below.

In recent years I have been had limited time for theatre, due to having a young daughter. She's getting older now and it's easier for me to commit to projects, and I'm excited to return. This year I'm hoping to move my focus more toward dramatic plays and less musicals. Scene study
and deep text analysis is my jam, and I have accepted an understudy role in RED at Burien Actors Theatre in April. I think it will be a great step in the right direction.

Meghan, originally from New York, has been performing on Vashon and in the Puget Sound area over the past five years with Vashon Repertory Theatre (Beatrice in “Much Ado About Nothing”, Miranda in “The Tempest”, and Sue/Sandra in “The Exonerated”), Take a Stand Theatre (Penny in the “Penny Tahlequah” radio play), and UMO Ensemble (ensemble member). Meghan loves clown and physical theatre and has studied under Chris Bayes, Jean Taylor, Giovanni Fusetti, and Philippe Gaulier. They also have a passion for melodrama and devised theater. Outside of performing, Meghan teaches movement and clown, studies circus arts and partner acrobatics, and enjoys picking up heavy objects for the sheer thrill.

I'm looking forward to playing for you!

Jessica Marvin-Romero (she/her) is a lesbian Mexican-American actress and poet. Having graduated from Temple University with a degree in theatre and an English minor, she is informed by the boundlessness of language as it works in storytelling and as a conduit for the things we must futilely attempt to translate for others from nothing more than a feeling in the bones. Interested in bilingual works, as well as those with poetic influence, Marvin-Romero strives to create theatre which brings Latine folks, queer people, and gender minorities to the forefront. She states, "As an artist, I’ve long been exploring how we go away from ourselves to then be able to come back. How hearing my aunts giggling over coffee in my grandmother’s kitchen is a play I got to watch every summer. How looking at photographs on the living room floor as my mother and I make our November altar is a play about people who are not us but inform us, still, when they’re not flesh but stories in two languages. I want to carry that with me in the work I do."

Karli Reinbold is a multi hyphenated actor and creator. She graduated from Central Washington University with BFA in theatre performance in 2019. She has worked with several theatres around the area including Driftwood Players and Sound Theatre. She loves to work on new works and bring a new idea to life! The purpose of theatre is to give us a chance to tell stories that need to be told and connect with our community. It’s the opportunity to show people they’re not alone.

A recent graduate of the University of California, San Diego Theatre & Dance Department, passionate about storytelling both on stage and on-camera.

Ryan is an avid gym-goer, a musician(cello for 13 years, self-taught guitar for 2), a writer, a filmmaker, and a outdoorsman.

Lea is delighted to return to the west coast after several years spent in NYC, where she completed her MFA in Acting at NYU. Most recently, she performed as Monique in Profile Theater's world premier of "awe/struck" by Chris Peña, directed by Josh Hecht in Portland. Earlier this year she appeared in "Marvin Is Sorry," a Slab Productions pilot, that has been accepted into 2024 South By Southwest Film Festival. Since graduating she has also guest-starred in "FBI Most Wanted: Inheritance" as well as "Law and Order; As Hubris is to Oedipus." In addition to acting, she loves graphic design and storyboarding for animation.

Like many, I first stepped onstage in a kindergarten Christmas pageant as a nativity star. I uttered one Biblical line in awestruck terror and was smitten. So began my lifelong passion for performance. Acting was a gift, an exciting outlet for expression and escape from a challenging childhood. Repertory in high school. Daring, experimental fringe. Plum roles with regional theaters in Houston, Seattle, Los Angeles, and Chicago. My own company and award-winning plays. Fleeting brushes with Hollywood breaks. But being an unapologetic queer man in a very discriminatory era came at a casting price. In my 30s, my partner and I had the chance to adopt a daughter facing developmental disabilities. I embraced the blessing of fatherhood and tabled my career until she was an adult. I’ve since returned to the stage to some acclaim and have resigned my corporate career to commit myself to finally realizing my potential as an actor.

Hello,
I'm Cassidy, an Online Business Manager, Web Designer, and Actor.

I have a BFA from Cornish and I am thrilled to be making art with you today.

If you want to work with professionalism, playfulness, and collaboration, I'm your actor. I will take your notes and run with them.

Get in touch to get on my website with the contact form.

Camilla Kintana is a newly-graduated actor from Cornish College of the Arts' Acting and Original Works BFA program (as of December 2023!). Some of her work at Cornish included Gruesome Playground Injuries (portraying Kayleen); Pericles, Prince of Tyre (portraying Thaisa); and Orlando (portraying Sasha). Post-Cornish she portrayed Melinda in the staged reading of a new original play, On The Train, through The Shattered Glass Project. Originally from Portland, Oregon, Camilla moved to Seattle to pursue a deepened understanding of the craft she loves so much, and along the way she discovered new passions and skills in the spheres of voiceover, dialect work, stage combat, and playwriting. She is currently working on a podcast performance of Shakespeare's Hamlet, in which she is portraying Claudius.

Thank you for having me, I am so grateful to be here!

I am a giant goofball at heart! A couple fun facts about me: I collect earrings (I have over 500 pairs) and I absolutely love dinosaurs. I view myself as both an artist and a scientist, always honoring my own curiosity and always looking for new ways to grow. I care deeply for the world at large and making a lasting impact is truly meaningful for me. I am a person easily inspired by the warmth and honestly of other people and I thrive when collaborating, laughing and creating art with a diverse, open minded and talented team.

During the day I am a chemical engineer working as the Associate Director of Quality Assurance at Lyell Immunopharma to treat (and hopefully cure) cancer patients. I delight in the challenge of learning new things, and I have found in my biotech and theater careers that I am at my best when I take on enormous challenges and push myself to try something new. I am capable of achieving lofty goals, whether it is troubleshooting a complicated manufacturing process, learning a new language in a month or memorizing 48 pages of monologues for a single role. I love the journey!

To me, getting feedback is a genuine gift and it is the collaboration itself in theater that inspires me the most. As an actor I hope to bring playfulness, curiosity, joy, honesty and compassion to every project. I look forward to my artistic journey and I can't wait to experience the adventures that lie ahead.

Thank you for your consideration!

P.S. I also love "Dad" jokes. What do you call twin dinosaurs?
Pair-odactyls!

Thanks again!

Hi! I'm Emily, I'm an artist, teacher, and community activist who finds a lot of meaning and purpose in striving to make art that is activism. I'm lucky to be a teaching artist at the Seattle Children’s Theatre and the Seattle Repertory Theatre. That theater can be a space for sharing joy, abundance, and truth is what brings me back again and again.

Jonathan M. Rizzardi (they/them) is a Seattle area performing artist and theatre historian. After moving from Washington, D.C. to complete their PhD in Theatre History and Performance Studies at the University of Washington School of Drama where they were a nominee for the 2019 Excellence in Teaching Award, Jonathan has continued to teach youth theatre, act, facilitate educator training programs, and develop social activist-focused curriculum in the Pacific Northwest. A Visiting Assistant Professor of Education at Pacific Lutheran University where they teach instructional methodologies for arts-based, trauma-informed, equity-centered education to future teachers, Jonathan earned their BA and Master of Arts in Teaching at St. Mary’s College of Maryland where they were winner of the Margaret Eagle Dixon Award in Literature and Maryland’s Teachers of Promise distinction.

Jonathan has grown by learning alongside students at Seattle Children's Theatre, Round House Theatre, Seattle Repertory Theatre, Imagination Stage, Everyman Theatre, Young Playwrights’ Theater, The Bell Tower Theatre, and as a guest artist in schools across the country. On stage, they have performed with Monumental Theatre Company, Theatre Prometheus, Source, Dacha Theatre, Tenth Muse Productions, Kensington Arts Theatre, Watermelon Inc., IStage, and Round House Theatre.

Rizzardi’s practitioner work extends across fields of youth creative drama, arts integration for mental health and wellness, stewardship for student populations in juvenile detention centers and drug rehabilitation facilities, and creating alongside youth in the foster care system. Their scholarship unpacks how acts of education, maturation, and coming-of-age intersect with theatre and public performance in the early twentieth century United States, and unravels queer readings of teaching and learning as mechanisms of citizen-making in the theatrical past. Jonathan hopes to use theatre performance and scholarship to champion the artistic aspirations of students of all ages, and to create collaborative art that promotes conversation.

Thanks for the opportunity & all of your time/labor, TPS team!
