CAST & PRODUCTION STAFF MAX MARSH (TED/ENSEMBLE) is an actor and writer from Chicago who was introduced to acting by his grandfather and mother. After his migration to the West Coast, he attended the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. Some of Max’s favorite roles include Simon the Zealot in Last Days of Judas Iscariot and Pop in The Wooden Dish. He has trained with Second City Chicago and the Elgin Community College long form Improv Troupe. This is Max’s second show with Loft, having recently closed Christmas is Dead and deciding to become a full company member. He is beyond thrilled to work on such a wonderful script with some incredibly gifted nurturing actors in an environment as open and loving as Loft. Thank you, and feel free to enjoy the show. MARIA MASTROYANNIS (SONI/MOM) has played numerous roles in theater, film and televison, including The Diary of Anne Frank, Six Degrees of Separation, No Exit, CONAN and The Young & The Restless. She also co-created and performed her own dance theater pieces, Alter Ego and Fragments. Maria joined Loft last Spring, and couldn’t believe that anyone else in Los Angeles used Viewpoints as a basis for creating work. She is over the moon to be a part of such a creative and quirky group of artists. Maria is also a member of the Classical Theatre Lab, is fluent in German, sometimes plays the piano and is in the process of raising two kids. She would like to thank Mitch for creating this exceptional play and for inviting her to be a part of it! KRISTIAN MAXWELL-MCGEEVER (VINCE) was born in Blackpool, England and raised in Australia, where he honed his musical talents in singing and guitar while playing. Following graduation, he made the move stateside and is now pursuing his love of acting. Kristian graduated from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts with an Associate of Arts degree and was the recipient of the voice and speech award in his graduating class. This is his fifth show at Loft, having recently played Justin in Christmas is Dead, Varick in Hammer of the Witches, Snout in A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Robert in Relationships Suck! This new role, Vince, is Kristian's most important and treasured role to date. He is honored to be part of this show, is amazingly appreciative of his fellow cast members, crew, and director. Kristian can't wait for you to join him on this journey, and he wishes for you to please sit back and relax as your in-flight entertainment will begin shortly. LEON MAYNE (YOUNG VINCE/MICHAEL) recently finished his first year of training at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts and is very excited to be a part of this fun, zany, original play at Loft Ensemble. He was recently an understudy in Loft’s Hammer of The Witches as Heinrich, Cuckoo in a Cage in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest and Miles in Christmas is Dead. Leon really, really hopes you'll all enjoy the show, as it's very tragic and well-done, so try not to let him down. KEVIN MEOAK (MANAGING DIRECTOR) joined Loft Ensemble in his current position in the summer of 2010 and directed this year’s production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Producing highlights include A Ring in Brooklyn at the NoHo Arts Center (New Musicals, Inc.), Loft’s production of LoveSick at the 2012 New York International Fringe Festival (recognized for Outstanding Ensemble), Associate Producer on the awardsweeping Louis and Keely Live at the Sahara at the Matrix, and producing the 2008 LA Weekly Awards. He would like to send special thanks to his wife, Corinne, because she always deserves to be thanked.
CAST & PRODUCTION STAFF ANGELA SANTORI MERITT (MAKEUP DESIGNER) is thrilled that this will be her sixth show in just over a year at Loft! Even though that may be relatively seasoned, it will always feel like her first show Will You Save Them? Special effects makeup has been Angela’s passion for many years and having the opportunity to learn and create at Loft has really been a dream. She is thankful for all the people she has met that help continue to fuel and push her to be a better artist. Let’s master this crazy circus called life together! Yay!

This is his 3rd world premiere as a playwright here at Loft following The Princes' Charming and Windows. Mitch would like to extend a HUGE pile of thanks to Bree, Lauren, and the entire production team who helped make this madness a reality. He would also like to thank Kristian and Leon for going to all of the scary places and not being afraid, and lastly to the entire cast: “thank you from the bottom of my heart and soul for getting behind this story and trusting me to lead you through the crazy. Thank you Abers for the faith, Professor Brown for the method to the madness and Bree for the accountability. CamCam says have fun!
