	Mark Tracy Mark is thrilled to be involved, yet again, with director Rick Sparks! Their first collaboration was ten years ago with Mark's dual roles as Howell Thurston and Dickie Simmings in the wildly entertaining Highballs, Ahoy! More recently Mark appeared in Rick's Clutter at the Colony Theatre in Burbank in which he played nine different parts. (when it comes to character work, the more the better: a few years back, he played thirteen characters in Rick's Tallulah at the St. Genesius Theatre in West Hollywood!). He was the scheming Socks Donald in Rick's multi-award-winning They Shoot Horses, Don't They? and portrayed the title character in A Charlie Brown Commercial Christmas, both shows at the Greenway Court Theatre. Mark snarled through the part of Mother, the one-eyed, heroine-pushing prison matron in Angry Young Teenage Girl Gang, the Musical, (actually not directed by Rick!) which was re-staged at New York City's Lucille Lortel Theatre as part of the 2004 Fringe Festival. Mark appeared as Eros the Alien in Plan 9 From Outer Space, the Musical at the Matrix Theatre and Polonius' Ghost in Fortinbras at the Stella Adler Theatre in Hollywood. Most recently Mark took on the challenge of portraying a hormone-yes, a hormone-in the Rick Sparks-directed “Inconceivable” at the Old Globe Theatre in West Hollywood. He was a longtime member of the LA TheatreSports improvisation group and fondly remembers the very successful (and challenging) Shakespeare Unscripted season, wherein the performers improvised a complete 3-act Shakespeare play based entirely on the audience's suggestions. Whew!

	David Trice David has a fear of audiences. He will be working out his issues this and every performance. When not on stage you can see him watching the The Office at home…if you have his address. He leaves the blinds open! He has appeared on numerous television shows including Medium, Passions (as a floating head), Malcolm in the Middle, and The Gilmore Girls. He hasn’t appeared on Lost, Ugly Betty, and The Office. Don’t mention it. It’s a sore subject! Look for him this year on Boston Legal and Pushing Daisies. Oh, and he loves gifts from strangers!
