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

 

Christopher Volkerts
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, Live!; and Mr. Mushnik in Little Shop of Horrors. He has also been seen internationally as Roberto in Death and the Maiden (in Havana, Santiago 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.
