Jana Wimer
CLOTHO / ATROPOS / LACHESIS
Jana’s many credits include "Little Shop
Of Horrors" and "A Cinderella Story." She currently
resides in L.A. and actually came all the way back to do this show. A
graduate of CSU Fresno she will soon be seen in the latest Austin Powers
movie "The Spy Who Shagged Me’. Jana not only performs on stage
she is also a wiz in the technical end of theatre. She hates jalapeno
peppers but has been known to have tried everything else at least once.
She is hoping to win the lotto and live a fab life doing whatever she
darn well pleases

Director / ZEUS / BEN / PETROS / MICHAEL
Christopher’s acting credits include local
performances as John in Lips Together, Teeth Apart; Daniel in Once on
this Island; Antonio in The Merchant of Venice; Weston in Curse of the
Starving Class, ‘My hero Zero’ and ‘Bill’ in Schoolhouse Rock,

de Cuba, and Mexico City) and as composer and performer in El Hajj Malik
(Nigeria). He has directed A Raisin in the Sun; Twilight: Los Angeles,
1992; Beruit; Terminal Bar; and stage-managed more shows than you would
want to shake a stick at. Somewhere in there he has also designed sets,
theatre posters, and was first assistant in the design of his three
disgustingly beautiful children (who take after their mother,
thankfully). He is currently acting the part of grown-up type person as
an Administrative Analyst for the University of California, Merced. He
wishes to remain silent about the bizarre and frightening fatal
distractions that have found him on-stage during this play rather than
the proud observer directors should be .

Christian James
Lloyd--Playwright
Christian James Lloyd graduated from the
University of Guelph with a B.Sc. in Human Kinetics. Instead of
following his peers and applying for Chiropractics, Medicine or,
Physiotherapy, Christian enrolled in the professional actor training
program at the prestigious George Brown Theatre School. It soon became
apparent that Christian was also a budding playwright. While still at
school he wrote the one man opus, Mind the Gap, of which he performed
under the direction of fellow classmate, Pragna Desai (with whom he
formed LD Productions). The Toronto Sun named it as one of the gems of
the Fringe. Since graduating in May of ’98, Christian has kept busy
acting playing Sampson, Mercutio and Paris in Romeo and Juliet, a
designer drug dealer in a new Canadian play, Eeyore in Winnie the Pooh,
and writing and acting in "Fatal Distraction" for the San
Francisco Fringe Festival. Currently, Christian is researching a new
play he’s writing about Jack Kerouac. He thanks Theatre J’Nerique
for this brilliant opporunity! An extra thanks goes to G.H. Simpson for
nurturing the seed.
