Welcome to Party to Grief!

Audra is honored to work on her first production with the artists at Whiskey Theater Factory to collaborate on bringing new works to the stage. She has previously performed on stage at Theater on the Edge's productions of Say Goodnight, Gracie and Fifth Planet, as well as locally produced films including Stone in a Still Lake, Eternity Road, and Snow Globe.

Joshua is a software engineer turned Meisner trained actor with recent credits including Mike in Fifth Planet and Jerry in Say Goodnight, Gracie. Even more than performing, he has fallen in love with the collaborative process of theater. Joshua tries to listen and understand just as much as he tries to create and particularly enjoys doing work that focuses on individual relationships. While he can be silly, Josh would like to think of himself as a grounding presence, approaching the work he does with honesty and intention.
