Cast and Crew
Carole Conama
PerformerCarole is thrilled to be a part of Fringe this year fulfilling yet another task on her bucket list. She would like to thank Christy/Black and Foxy for bringing this production to fruition. What a whirlwind challenge, writing and exposing some of our deepest emotions and shenanigans with the audience. Carole started performing when her then-teenaged wanna-be “goth” daughter confronted her then “stage mother” to audition for a play 15 years ago. She got the performance bug and the rest is history or clearly her story. A special thanks to Tim the patient observer and the rest of the family for indulging the obsession. She can be seen dabbling in theater and short films around the twin cities. Enjoy a new experience with every show!

PerformerHoua Moua (She/Her) is a comedian and lifelong lover of the performing arts. Currently employed at Metropolitan Center for Independent Living, she is an advocate for disability justice in her community.
