Faye Lane is a writer and performer who lives in the Chelsea Hotel in New York City. Her unique blending of story and song moved New York Magazine to gush, “She had them gobbling from the palm of her hand. They were howling, crying, falling in love with her.”

Rhonda Faye Gunnels is a fat little girl who sits on the porch of her mama’s beauty shop in Texas. Her mandatory concerts for the ladies held captive under the dryers moved Miss Veda to gush, “Betty, tell that child to sit down and hush. She is a public nuisance!”

Director Jay Rogers has won a whole bunch of fancy awards! He has three or four MAC awards, a couple of Bistros, and a Drama Desk nomination for his work in Howard Crabtree’s When Pigs Fly. And did I tell y’all he taught at the International Cabaret Symposium up at Yale? I know, right? |

| Music Director Andrew Graham is doing us a big old favor by taking a break from his day job, where he's the music director for Avenue Q on Broadway. (!!!) He has lots of impressive degrees, including one from Trinity College of Music in London, (!!!) and he's worked on a lot of shows I'd like to star in. Like Spamalot, Fame, and Seussical the Musical. And guess what else he's worked on? Hair! (The musical, not in a salon or anything...) |

Songwriter Keith Thompson is talented as hell. His original revue, Kooky Tunes, got all kinds of critical and popular praise after an extended run in New York, an Australian tour, and 2002 cast recording. He’s directed a lot of famous people like Donny Osmond and Kristen Chenowith, and a lot of fun shows like Mamma Mia and guess what else? Hairspray! Now he’s living it up in Las Vegas, conducting and music directing Jersey Boys and acting all Dean Martinish. |

| Songwriter Larry Rosen is all hooked up with the Second City Training Center, where he teaches improv and sketch comedy. (Something he’s been doing in New York and LA since 1994!) He’s produced, performed in, and directed stuff all over the US, Canada, and Mexico, and he was a founding member of L.A.’s first touring all song improv troupe, Impromptune. (Cute name, right? He’s real clever like that. Wait ‘til you hear this song he rewrote from my third grade school play, called Song of the Bean. You will love it!) |

| Songwriter Carol Hall just happens to write in the language of my childhood. She wrote the music and lyrics for The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, and she once said that my version of her song “Bus From Amarillo” is her favorite in the whole world. Which means she is a lovely woman of discerning taste. Her latest cd, Hallways, the Songs of Carol Hall, is available on Amazon and y’all should go buy it. It will make you laugh and cry. Seriously. |

| Jesus Christ, who is a close personal friend of mine and who sometimes makes a surprise guest appearance in this show, has had my back for as long as I can remember. Despite His humble beginnings, He has appeared all over the place, not only in songs, paintings, and stained glass windows, but sometimes in tortillas and rusty Texas screen doors. He’s also the main character in the best-selling book of all time! I’ll bet you thought it was Holden Caulfield or Huckleberry Finn. Nope! It’s Jesus! |

Bigfoot, to whom I lost my virginity and who also sometimes appears in this show, is very shy, but excited to be back on the stage! A native of the Pacific Northwest, Bigfoot previously appeared (billed as 'Sasquatch') in an Oregon Regional Theater production of Hair! He can also be seen (briefly, and usually out of focus) in a few notable films and photographs. He’s kind of a womanizer, but you can’t help but love him. He’s also the father of my love child, but I usually don’t like to talk about that. |

We’re all fairly good looking, especially Jesus and Andrew.
We hope you'll come out to the show!
