Annabel McConnachie is an Australian actor, writer, New School BFA (Honors) graduate and gleek currently based in New York City.

Wise beyond her years, Annabel made her professional debut at the age of 3 as the Phantom in Phantom of the Opera at Australia’s internationally acclaimed hub of the arts, the Sydney Opera House (her performance inspiring its name). She then went on to take the city by storm in roles that include but are not limited to - the landlord in Rent, the titular number 13 in 13 the musical and the canine antagonist in Cats (‘Dog’). For her roles in these critical and financial successes, Annabel then went on to earn herself 8 Ausony awards (Australian Tonys).

P.S. PS. Annabel would like to stress that if you are reading this and aren’t Australian you have no proof that none of the above is true, and questioning the validity of these credits is therefore a hate crime.

Immediately following graduation, Ben moved to Los Angeles to work professionally as a Casting Coordinator and film editor for Terry Berland Casting Inc, and is very excited to be lending his casting expertise to the New York stage. When he's not facilitating smooth runnings behind the scenes, Ben steps into the spotlight as a self-produced, genre defying musician.

Nicole Marie Lado is honored to be making her New York theater debut as Girlie Ensemble 1/Rachel Berry in the instant cult-classic play “Archive of My Own”. She is a theater and film comedian who enjoys processing her High School Drama Trauma™ in front of a live studio audience because therapy is expensive and she loves attention. She opened for Jim Gaffigan at the Gotham Comedy Club* and loves pursuing classic theater roles, like the Ugly Step-Sister in Roger’s and Hammerstein’s “Cinderella” and The Bookseller/Angry Mob Villager 6/Wolf in “Beauty and the Beast”. When she’s not exploring the theater-kid-to-ADHD-diagnosis-to-lesbian pipeline in her standup, she can be found telling everyone within earshot, “Hey, they did this song on Glee!”

*This is purely a technicality wherein Jim did a surprise drop-in set after Nicole went on and in no way reflects any partnership with or acknowledgement of Nicole’s existence on Jim’s part.

Isabel Vann is an NYC-based actor and creator, as well as a recent graduate of NYU Tisch. As a child, Isabel was historically indecisive and could only imagine a career as a baker-swimmer-popstar-demigod-architect (obviously). So she made the logical choice and decided to pursue acting instead. She is now beyond excited to be making that dream come true (and adding professional glee impersonator to that list) as she takes on the role of Girlie Ensemble 2!

Kevin Smith is a New York based actor. When growing up doing nothing but Chris Farley impressions in front of his family Kevin knew at a young age performing was the greatest feeling you could ever get. So once the experience of college came around Kevin didn’t hesitate to take every course and audition for any play that came his way. And after ten years of performing in such productions as Romeo and Juliet, Twelfth Night, O Beautiful, and Picasso ant the Lapin Agile he still just wants to keep learning and pushing himself to be better.
