susan-quintinar

Susan Quintanar is the illegitimate love child of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz. This explains her prowess at physical comedy, and her last name. In her teens she could be seen modeling for famous French designers and the occasional German chef. She graced the cover of both French Vogue and Bon Appetit. At 18 she swam the English Channel with the help of her pet dolphin, “Skippy,” who later shot to fame and now never calls or writes. But is Susan bitter, no. Instead she took up the law so if you look at her cross-eyed she can sue your ass. She did not write this bio. Imagine her surprise when she reads it.

charlie-souby

Charlie Souby was born and raised on the Chicago North Shore. In the late 70's he moved to San Francisco to pursue a career in music and literature. Twenty-five years later, a failed Deadhead, he became enamored with improvisational theater. He is a graduate of BATS Improv in SF and the Upright Citizens Brigade in Los Angeles. He has also studied, with Keith Johnstone, I/O West, Impro Theater and is currently enrolled at The Groundlings School in L.A. His first novel, Winifred was recently released on AuthorHouse. http://www.charlesrsouby.com/

lyn-travis2

Lyn Travis is an actress and improviser who actually gets to use the power of improv in her real life as an executive coach. Lyn trained at the English Theater of Frankfurt and has studied under Jean Shelton and Keith Johnstone, as well as at Bay Area Theater Sports where she was a Sunday Player. She was a member of the SF troupe, Out of Line, and has been a guest member with Unscripted. She has done small bits of film and commercial work with great joy.

Lyn fell in love with the Bay Area and moved here not knowing anyone, after a long stint of  over-education followed by prolonged professionality overseas and on the east coast.

Fortunately for her, she was raised by wild raccoons who also revealed to her their magical hair care secrets and how to tame unmanageable ringlets. The bigger question, is she actually related to the actress Nancy Travis?
