Masha Sten-Clanton's husband insists that she's a magic creature. She doesn't know how she managed to fool him, but she's glad it worked.

Anand Sitaram has performed in the San Diego and Boston Gay Men’s Choruses and sings barbershop a cappella with Vocal Revolution and Neapolitan Quartet. He also square dances and wants to learn to play the banjo in his hall closet. You thought this was three truths and a lie, but it’s not.

Kate Mikell has an acting degree from the University of Utah, but in her current role as a bookseller, she's more likely to be found nose-in-a-book than off-book. Someday she will find her bearskin cloak, slip back into it, and return to her life as a mountain cryptid.

Hubert Hwang continues to sing only dark and haunting songs at cabaret nights. He will next be on stage in Love's Labour's Lost in March 2020, with the Arlington Friends of the Drama. Outside of theater, he is somehow entrusted to teach high school students on a daily basis.

Judith Garber is excited to perform in her first Lilac Players production. She is known for being a musicals enthusiast and having the shortest legs of anyone on her ultimate frisbee team.

She is currently in play-testing and should available at your local game store in a few months, assuming the funding doesn't fall through.

Katy Weisman makes her triumphant return to musical theater in the twin roles of Combferre and Draco Malfoy. Like Draco, Katy is blonde, short, and sorts Slytherin. Like Combferre, she speaks French so fluently that you’ll think it’s English. (Just listen!) She is thrilled to be performing with the Lilac Players for the first time.

Émile Lewis is a known reprobate and has occasionally been described as “all right” by his friends and family. A historian by training with aspirations of becoming a voice actor, he ended up on stage because of his lovely singing voice [citation needed] and total lack of shame. He and his friend Kristen Hale run an online comedy show entitled Not Even, and they released their first short film, “The Basic Bitch Project,” this Halloween.

Deborah Gaz loves to sing and purple is her favorite color, so the Lilac Players makes perfect, purple sense for her to perform with! She writes software for her day job.

Andrea's writing prompt for musical theatre authors and composers: roles for middle-aged sopranos!

Laura Honeywood dreams in musicals. Sometimes. This is not a lie. Once there was a puppet rock opera. Once it was Chekhov's Three Sisters. Once it was a new national anthem for Burkina Faso.
