Tzipora Kaplan is an indie-theatre so-and-so who spends a lot of time in search of both the perfect handbag and umbrella. What she is currently pleased about: working with the NYIT awards 2009, writing an action-adventure flick starring Daniel Craig and Ed Norton, contributing her opinions on Theasy, and the crazy and brilliant people who sustain both her social life and her hope for a better and brighter future. She continues to soldier on in her pursuit of artistic happiness (the ultimate oxymoron) and sincerely hopes that one day she will have the guts to be irreverent in her bio.

Jessica Cauttero
Jessica is a freelance arts writer, semi-professional nerd, Master's degree dilettante and native New Yorker. She has been working in or around theatermaking for over ten years and her favorite offstage job was probably making puppets. As an actor, she specialized in portraying men and people over the age of 50; as a writer, she prefers offbeat/quirky and classical shows, combined in the most interesting way possible. When not writing, she is reading, sewing, knitting, or performing under an assumed name wearing a lot of glitter.
