Rojo Davis - Stage Manager
After a daring prison escape, Rojo graduated with her B.A. in Drama Production from the University of Washington. Most recently she’s worked with The Metronome Society, eSe Teatro, Thriving Artists, REBATEnsemble and Ara'Kus Productions, in between knife fights on top of train cars. When not working for groups with odd camel case capitalization, she assists with theater events, though this doesn't usually last for very long, as the assassins always eventually find her. Her ultimate goal is to build a death ray and one day be addressed as "Most Benevolent Supreme Leader". She lives in Wallingford with her cat, Pussy Galore.

Heather Ward - The Metronome Society Band, Vocalist
Heather Ward is excited to participate in this unique collaborative production. This transplanted Canadian has been a Dickens Caroler for 10 years now, as well as the company costumer. Other musical roles include Pilate in BAT's all-female Jesus Christ Superstar, Gloria in Android Arias for the Fringe Festival, and Red Rider Came Calling for Book-It Theater. Non-musical roles include Paquita in Beauty of the Father, Janet in You Never Loved Your Boy for the LRS Erotic Shorts series, Don Pedro in Much Ado About Nothing for The Wrecking Crew, and The Vagina Monologues for Stone Soup Theater (although both of those last two ended up involving some a capella singing!). Heather ran the house band for the Little Red Studio and its many varied shows for two years. Now she teaches vocals and youth band classes at Seattle School of Rock, and private voice lessons, along with occasional murder mystery shows, film and web work. Look for her on the film festival circuit as Vera in The MarQueen!
