Steve W. Chappell
"Jeffrey"
SWM seeks memorable experience in a darkened room of strangers. Attended Circle In The Square Theatre School before doing his "thing" in New York. That "thing" has included directing and/or producing several short films, a video game and an upcoming animated series for TV. Steve has appeared in most of these projects plus some made by other people, notably the feature film, "World Trade Center" with director Oliver Stone and the short film, "Jenny" produced and directed with collaborator Z. Joseph Guice, screening in festivals in the coming months. Favorite color: blue. Favorite food: cold pizza. Favorite way to spend an evening: you're looking at it! Thanks to Ben and Bree for really liking me. stevewchappell.com -- myspace.com/allcreationnyc
Cesa Kobe-Smith
"Miranda"
This playful and organized Virgo hails from the northwest. She was raised on good beer and likes to dabble in a good camp fire with songs by John Denver. She attended Cornish College of the Arts earning her BFA in Dance. She has been employed in various theater, film and dance projects doing mostly comedy. Although someday she would like to play some dark brooding character type that kicks some martial arts ass. Sure she's cute but she can also be deadly. You can also catch her playing with her comrades in Death League Tea Party (a long form comedy improv team). Turn offs: cat vomit. Turn On: Beer and Cheese.
Tom Lacey
"The Waiter"
SWM (really single), hot as hell, searching for the love of my life. Likes good times, hard booze and public urination. Tom has been studying acting for ten years, fiercely becoming the greatest thespian in all of mankind! Tom has been in several small film productions and over twenty-five plays. Some of his favorite roles include Marc Antony (Julius Cesar), Sebastian (Raised in Captivity) and Carl Denham (King Kong w/Radio Theatre NYC). Tom studies currently at the swanky HB Studio under the prestigious tutelage of Austin Pendleton. Currently Tom is prepping his first 2 features with his production company, Twin Gravity. Tom sends much love and hot sex to Bree, Ben, Cesa & Guin, especially Ben! And for whomever that special who is holding my heart captive... Give it Back!
Bree O'Connor
"The Waiter" / Director
MWF with uptown tastes and a downtown budget seeks wealthy investor to throw good money after bad. Bree is a typical, expansive Sagittarius who is an actor by training, producer/director out of necessity, teacher by accident and mother of one due to certain biological circumstances. Chances are you have never seen Bree's work but if you stay seated throughout the entire performance you won't be able to say that anymore. Turn ons: Having too much metal for one hand, wheat and skinny guys with thick forearms. Turn offs: When did mannequins start having nipples? How many times have you considered purchasing a shirt and thought, "I wonder how I'd look in this shirt in a heavily air conditioned room?"
Sarah Paige
"Miranda"
MWF. This Capricorn enjoys spontaneity, live music and college football. Sarah was raised in Austin, Texas and studied at Texas State University. She worked as a Peace Corps volunteer in West Africa before moving to New York and attending the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. Favorite theatre roles include Catherine (Proof), Hermione (Andromache) and Lucy (Pains of Youth). Some of Sarah’s work has been seen at film festivals including Scarab Hack (Slamdance) and Killer Script (SXSW). Look for her in the feature film Day X which will be released on video nationwide on Nov. 27, 2007. Sarah has had a blast changing out her usual dark roles for some raucous risqué comedy with the Playful Substance team. Turn ons: Mr. Darcy, Christian Bale or several frozen margaritas with anyone other than the aforementioned samples of perfection. Turn offs: dirty feet. www.sarahpaige.com
Ben Perry
"Jeffrey" / "The Waiter"
SWM, but bound to be MWM inside of a year. Seeking someone very forgiving or very forgetful. Ben's first taste of the theater was at Lost Nation Theater in Vermont, which had a very simple lesson - to make a living, you must either be a star - and good luck with that! - or do everything. So, as actor, producer, graphic designer, webmaster, and occasional keeper of the pornstache, Ben has finally taken that lesson to heart. Ben trained at Circle in the Square and met Bree, acted in several modest film shorts and small-scale productions, and now joining with Bree decides to have something small-scale, modest and delightful to call his own. Ben thanks Bree, Tom, Cesa, Sarah, Steve and Guin, and also Cary, without whom he probably wouldn't leave the house. Turn ons: Meat Loaf live (seriously), jokes that take ten minutes to tell, heavily air conditioned rooms. Turn offs: None so far.
