Meet the totally-not-sick Maria!
Greetings from Maria. When she is not training- um I mean, rehearsing for the radio show, Maria loves rock climbing, origami, and making a great tuna salad sandwich. Her favorite motivational quote is "Immunosuppression never held back my passion" because despite catching a wicked cold right before her acting debut, she insists on showing up and persisting through her lines, no matter how tired she gets... or how much phlegm she produces.
Tune in this Friday, April 2nd to watch this amazing and chaotic show! Zoom link in our bio!

Meet the ultra-stressed Adrienne!
Adrienne, played by Amy Argentar, signed up for this show to try something out of her comfort zone. Her comfort zone in question is her bedroom, with her plants and her cat, and no sudden movements. She's not one for chaos or big changes, so when she is thrown for a loop during the production of Battle of the Planet, her lines aren't the only things she needs help remembering.
