Cat Smith
Cat Smith has most recently been seen performing in and around Nerd World as Miss Nerdstiles (google, a bunch will come up and it’s all her). She got her start at French Woods Festival of the Performing Arts, and is now a student at AADA, because why not. In 2024 she sold out her solo cabaret show, “The Tough Made Lemonade” at Don’t Tell Mama, and her original one-person show Waxing Matilda was featured in The Lighthouse Festival at Soho Playhouse. She is delighted to be part of this production, but really dislikes talking about herself in the third person.
Ann Patricia
Ann Patricia played Falstaff for the first time when she was 12 years old. Then again when she was 13. And she has thought about him every single day of her life since then till she finally got the chance to make him SING. She has appeared on stages that range from the Second City in Chicago to the Gemini and Scorpio loft in Brooklyn in a myriad of roles. This is the second musical she's written with Francesca Negron as a part of Teatime for Mad Girls and she is cackling gleefully at the fact thats she's managed to suck so many people this deep into her Henriad obsession with her.
Kaitlyn Mendez
Kaitlyn Mendez (Lady Kate Percy) is proud to be making her on-stage debut tonight in Brave Sons of England, the culmination of a lifelong love of theater that was fostered by her mother Barbara and her Aunt Colleen, who began bringing her to shows in New York at the age of 5. She dedicates her performance to them, and to her favorite people in the world, her niece Lily and nephew Mason. She would also like to express her gratitude to Ann Patricia and Franceca Negron for inviting her to join this project.
Laurel Detkin
Laurel Detkin is a lifelong theatre nerd who was sucked back into the performing world ten years ago when she played Wash in "Browncoats: The Musical", a show she showed up to half-dead and fresh from the hospital. She has since gone on to take her personal obsession with Columbia, who she portrays with lovingly perfect accuracy, and turn it into a wildly successful Rocky Horror empire as the artistic director of Double Feature Productions. She also produces "Grotesque Burlesque", a celebration of all things gross, sticky, slimy, weird, and messy. We are honored to have pulled her out of stage manager retirement to be custodian of the three functioning braincells the BSOE production team has to work with.
David Citron
David Citron plays with computers, pianos, computers that are pianos, and pianos that are computers. In his other lives, David plays tuba, melodica, pipe organ, and keytar, dresses in silly hats, takes dog selfies, and writes software. In addition to being the long-time pianist for "GeekLifeRules: NY Cosplay Cabaret," David is the keyboardist for "STARMAN: The Bowie Tribute," the "Mystical Majesty Band," and is the MD and a contributing composer for "JAWS: The Musical". David makes no claim to the throne, but is honored to underscore those who do! https://www.davidacitron.com/
Ann Patricia
You already heard about Ann over in the cast bios, but she also likes lots of rapid words and telling actors where to stand. She's been a proud member of Teatime for Mad Girls Productions since she and Francesca founded it in their dorm room making silly nerdy parodies.
Francesca Negron
You already heard about Francesca over in the cast bios, but she also likes to bang on the piano and pretend she's an unholy combo of Stephen Sondheim and Lin Manuel Miranda. She's been a proud member of Teatime for Mad Girls Productions since she and Ann founded it in their dorm room making silly nerdy parodies.
Jenn Drucker
You already heard about Jenn over in the cast bios, but she is also a brilliant graphic designer who's work has been seen in places like Harrod's Department Store in London and Sephora in EVERYWHERE. She's an OG Mad Girl and was in the very first silly nerdy parody Ann and Francesca made out of their dorm room.
