BNW's newest sketch comedy troupe!


BRIAN AYLMER

By joining the cast of THE OTHERS, Brian continues to add to his performing experience with the Brave New Workshop. Brian plays Father in BNW's production of Flanagan's Wake. He also wants to thank his family, friends, and Superman.


BETH DICKEY

Beth Dickey is thrilled to be performing with THE OTHERS. Other improv credits include performing with Rudy, part of the Brave New Institute's Six Ring Circus, and the improv group, Unitard. Beth was also a founding member of Monmouth College's Anvilhead Theatre. In addition to her acting credits, Beth has co-directed several children's plays, including Mary Poppins, The Wizard of Oz, and E-i, E-i OOPS! Beth is a seventh grade teacher.


BRIAN MCCHESNEY

Brian moved to the Twin Cities about three years ago from touring the country as "unemployed guy with a car" (he only wishes that were just a clever name for a one man show). Shortly thereafter, he began classes at the BNI and appeared in the Level 5 showcase Shame! or These Boots were made for Bombing. He has also performed with the BNI student team Chuck White. He currently performs with the wonderful improvisational ensemble Unitard, and the BNW student team Mr. Shrimp. He is blessed and excited to be one performing with THE OTHERS.


ROBB MILLER

I don't know what to put in my bio. Well, I did go to college. I attended the Art Institute for two quarters. I dropped out because...they had no classes related to sketch comedy! I'm glad I found myself at the Brave New Workshop where sketch comedy is abundant. I found that "sketch" comedy and "sketching" are two totally different things! I participate in both now. Besides being in this sketch comedy show, I also draw caricatures. So if you catch me staring at you with a blank look on my face I may be contemplating how to do you!

Robb is a proud member of THE OTHERS. The show you are about to watch is a labor of love. Sweet love. NO! Nasty-freaky love. Stinky smelly flippity-floppity! Bizarre twisted barnyard extraordinary fornicating. Everyone involved with the show had a part. The show is the offspring of our crazy comedy orgy.


JEN SCOTT

Jen started classes at the Brave New Institute in the spring of 1999. Since then, she's performed with the troupes Q, Unitard, the Velvet Elvises and Janet Reno's Little Black Book (long gone but not forgotten). She's also been featured in productions at the Bryant-Lake Bowl, Theatre in the Round Players, and at other venues around the Twin Cities, including a stint as a giant talking sunflower at the Taste of Minnesota. Good times.


SANDRA YOERKS

Sandra has been involved in musical theater such as Sound of Music, South Pacific, Oklahoma - in dramas such as Andromache, Lysistrata, Plenty - in television and radio commercials - and singing and dancing in amusement parks from Iowa to France. And yet...she finds none of that to be as terrifying, difficult, or exhilarating as improvisations. She's thrilled to be in her first show at the workshop.


JILL JAMES

(keys)
Jill is very excited to be a part of this wonderfully talented posse. She has been a cast member of Flanagan's Wake for the past year and a half and tinkling on the ivories for BNC shows as well as being Peter Guertin's piano-bitch (understudy) for the BNW Mainstage. She has recently been seen playing Jesus (Anne) in "School of Jesus Fish" with the Gaia Collective, and even more recently playing Jesus on Lake and Hennepin in front of the Gap.

 


ANDY BRYNILDSON

(tech direction)
Dandy Andy Brynildson is flippin switches and avoiding electrical shock as he perches himself in the BNW tech booth. Andy has teched for quite a few BNW shows and apparently will continue to do so until some kindhearted soul offers him a job devoid of danger. He's also teching the upcoming Spring 2003 show, "Who Wants To Bury Joe Millionaire?"
