AUTHOR:  Alex Mills is a recent graduate of NYU Tisch, studying with the Atlantic Theatre Co; he dreams of ushering a renaissance of integrity to the horror genre. He is a Pipeline Theatre Company member. Recent credits include Mrs. Forrest in Psycho Beach Party, Jimmy in  Look Back in Anger, and his co-created YouTube comedy web-series,  Dracula & the Pre-Med Student.

DIRECTOR:  Tom Costello is thrilled to be working with Pipeline again after directing last summer's Sleepless City. He has also directed productions with The Atlantic Theater Company Acting School and the EBE Ensemble and is Associate Artistic Director of Babel Theatre Project. He received his BFA in Drama from NYU in '06.

PRODUCER:  Meagan Kensil is the New Works Liaison for Pipeline Theatre Company. In the past she produced two charity benefts in Santa Clarita, CA to aid the victims of Hurricane Katrina and to end the genocide in Darfur. She was recently seen in Pipeline's Psycho Beach Party and Andy Yanni's The Inbetween People. She received a BFA in Drama from NYU in '09 where she studied at the Atlantic Acting School. She's normally afraid of anything having to do with scary movies, but she loves Shakespeare the Dead!

PRODUCTION COMPANY:  Pipeline Theatre Company is a group of emerging theater artists who believe in producing plays truthfully and wholeheartedly. Having just reached our first birthday as an ensemble, Pipeline has produced three full-length productions in New York – Timberlake Wertenbaker's Love of the Nightingale, a member-penned new work, Sleepless City, and most recently, Charles Busch's Psycho Beach Party – a few evenings of original new works, and two award-winning short films. We seek to further our audience's excitement and passion for the world around them. 

Through this shared experience, we want you to know - your voice can be heard.
