Josh Van Riper

In June, Josh was hauled before a Bailey Metropolis judge on trumped-up charges selling ground honey badger droppings to undercover cops and claiming they were "super Fentanyl." He was then railroaded through the process and falsely pronounced guilty. He was then ordered to perform community service theater for a minimum of one show and to pay restitution to the zoo from where the honey badger was supposedly stolen. He has been speaking his monologues to his four houseplants and one cat (only 2 of the houseplants have survived this ordeal, and they may not recover). He is enabled by his lovely wife Karen.

Staci York

Staci is elated (and ever-so grateful) to be part of another Jill Manser production! An actor, singer, writer, director, and educator, Staci’s previous roles include Mindgame (Nurse Paisley), The Legacy of Baker Street(Felicity Watson-originated), Something's Afoot (Lady Manley-Prowe), Clue (Miss Scarlet), Into the Woods(The Baker's Wife), Little Women (Aunt March), Secret Garden (Martha), Matilda (Trunchbull), Laundry and Bourbon (Hattie), and God of Carnage (Veronica).
