Dramaturgy from the Chicago College of the Performing Arts (at
Roosevelt University) and a Bachelor’s degree in Acting from
Northern Michigan University. She is a founding ensemble
member of Chicago's Wing & Groove Theatre Company and proud to

directing credits include, but are not limited to, Plague
of Innocence, Philadelphia Here I Come, Scrooge, Alabama Rain, and You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown.
Christina is the Artistic Director of MadCAP Theatre with whom
she will direct The Ice Wolf this winter. A special
thanks to Bruce (and consequently, Seth Martin-Wright) for
providing my body with the most sacred sense of purpose since
that hot, dizzy night in June 2001.
Emily Kerr (Stage Manager/Sound operator) Emily is
excited to be part of her second StageQ production. She
recently was the Assistant Stage Manager for StageQ’s
production of Torch Song Trilogy. Emily has a minor in
Theatre Arts from the University of Wisconsin—Eau Claire. Some
of her acting credits include The Lion, the Witch, and the
Wardrobe, Into the Woods, Tartuffe, and You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown. Thanks to her wonderful
wife, Monica, for all her support.
Kjerstie Johanson and Steve Howe (Sound
Designers) have degrees in Music and Film, respectively, and
boast a mind-boggling collection of rare, bizarre, and
infinitely useful CDs. The dynamic duo are the proud parents
of a new Dell computer, complete with CD burner and sound
recognition software. Kjerstie is the Music Director for
MadCAP Theatre where she was coerced by Martin-Wright into
being the Sound Designer on this project.
Jessica Myrbo (Light Designer) is a UW-Madison physics
major who may occasionally be seen sparkly-eyed at cast
parties, discussing the Fate of the Universe. She has a
particular affection for the six septillion kilograms commonly
referred to as "Earth" and the critters that inhabit it,
particularly people. Her previous magic includes lighting
operations for Jeffrey and lighting designs for
StageQ’s productions of Two Stories of Dating Hell, The Twilight of the Golds, The Eight: Reindeer
Monologues, and Gertrude Stein and A Companion.
Jessica, where would StageQ be without you???
Micheal Herman (Light operator) shares his technical
assistance with this production, although he is usually seen
on stage or is the brilliant mind behind a production. Micheal
directed Mercury’s The Most Fabulous Story Ever Told and has acted with almost every theatre company in town,
including First Banana’s production of Angels in America.
He is directing StageQ’s spring production The Sum of Us. |
