FAST Death of a Salesman

Jake Mierva

Writer/Director
i saw a play in a theatre, yes i did, i went and i saw a play at a theatre, and the actor playing the second lead walked up to me and said the line "i cant find my phone", and i saw the outline of his phone in his pocket, so i pointed that out to him, and i got yelled at by that actor, by the people sitting next to me, and by the ushers after the show. this embarrassed me. i went loco, chica. to this day i will not help you find your phone. do not ask me.

Actor, "Dr. Duke Didier"
Jeremy Motz IS Dr. Duke Didier (BFA, MFA, MA, PHD, DDS), and THIS is Dr. Duke Didier's Arthur Miller's FAST Death of a Salesman, and YOU are the audience. LUCKY YOU. Because now YOU can be witness to my GREATEST achievement--yea, better than my Waiting for GODot on the moon, better than my Jerzy Grotowski inspired Six Werewolves In Search of an Author (with Vampires), better than even my (dare I say it?? yes...) STAGGERING 11-hour production of Henrik Ibsen's The Wild Duck set during the tumultuous days of Occupy Wall Street. You will FINALLY have the answer to life's greatest question...what IS art? You're welcome. www.papersoul.org

J. McIntyre Godwin

Actor, "Willy Loman", Fight Choreographer
Studebaker Rutabaga is Willy. Mr. Rutabaga used to live in a big townhouse, and now he lives in a small townhouse. He'd like to take this moment to say that he was having a really troubling morning before writing this. You see, the previous night he ingested 8-9 popsicles, and his rump has been glued to the toilet for upwards of four hours. Mr. Rutabaga works at a toilet factory, so it all works out in the end. He drives a car with three wheels, and one wheel as well, four in total. And his steering wheel is wheel shaped, but is always far too hot to touch, so he prefers to ride his bike. His bike is the shape of a hexagon, and his townhouse is the shape of a bike. Thanks! And I hope you have a nice night with your family!

Five more years. Only five years. Five. High five. Fifty five? Five. Forty five? Five. Fifteen five? Five. Hive. Live. Chive. Five. Help me. Help. Help I’m stuck in a crevice. Help. This crevice is so uncomfortable. Help. Five….five…….five….

Actor, "Happy Loman"
Charlie Rockinghorsh III (HAPPY) is a world-renowned amateur auctioneer. They have performed on the great stages of Baltimore's Crab Shack Fest, the New Jersey Sleep House, and at The Midwest Yarn Barn Extravaganza of 2019. When Charlie is not performing, you can see them skipping lake rocks, walking the cemetery, and donating soup to the children and elderly. They are excited to sign up for an improv class with Very Good Improv this fall, and you should go to verygoodimprov.com to find out more info and sign up for their newsletter. Charlie is beyond thrilled to be a part of their very first official staged production of a real play at a real festival with a real cast and crew.

Kait Johnson

Actor, "Ensemble Member"
Laura Berger is the Ensemble Member. Laura has tried really hard this semester to be a part of multiple productions, but for some reason, she gets booted, even with tears rolling down her cheeks and snot bubbles forming in her nose, they boot her. They hate how funny she is. They hate her fantastic and wonderful character choices that no one in the world has done before. Laura could be the next Marlon Brando, or Robert DeNiro, or Paul Rudd. But no one will ever let Laura be herself. Even though Laura lost her chance at being able to star as "Harry" in this production, she will still be on stage with NEW and EXCITING characters that no one has ever seen before. Seriously, her acting is going to shock you. She might even create a new award at the Tonys for "best actor of all time ever that no one has ever seen before". You'll see. Laura also likes the flavor of mustard.

Elijah Virgil Hughes

Stage Manager
This production of FAST Death of a Salesman does not have a Stage Manager, and frankly, it is ridiculous that you would be looking for the "bio" of such an individual. If this production had a hypothetical Stage Manager, they would certainly not want to have a "bio" published about them. Luckily, there is no such Stage Manager, or they would be furious to see a "bio" listed under their name. When asked their thoughts about the Stage Manager of FAST Death of a Salesman having a "bio," Elijah Virgil Hughes was quoted as saying "PLEASE DON'T TELL ANYONE. NOBODY CAN KNOW. I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS SHOW. WHY WOULD DEATH OF A SALESMAN BE FAST. HOW DID YOU GET THIS NUMBER. PLEASE DON'T TELL ANYONE. PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE."
