 Tricia
Beyer (cast) is a performer from New Jersey who is thrilled
to be making her NYC stage debut. Her favorite roles include Dr. Ilsa
Van Dyke in the musical version of "Journey to the Center of
the Earth" written by Stephen Dolginoff, and religious/racist
Granny from "Women Behind Bars". Film work includes "Spit,"
which starred Eric Roberts and was shown at the Tribeca Film Festival,
and "Meshuggeneh," a grind-house thriller where she plays

 Damion
Lee (cast) — Discovered in a New York City subway station
by an agent, this opportunity led to the beginning of Damion’s
acting career as he landed a supporting role in Finding Forrester
starring Sean Connery and Rob Brown. Since then, Lee has starred in
numerous independent films which include “Pressure”, “City
Teacher”, and the critically acclaimed “Blueprint”
where he portrays a young college freshmen who attempts to capture
the affection of another male student. With no previous acting training,
Damion seems to possess this natural awareness that can’t be
taught. He’s always embracing challenges that will help him
master his craft, stretch himself as an artist, and grow as an individual.
