Bekah is not only a skilled surgeon but a high wizard as well. She received her PhD through countless surgeries performed at Hope Hospital. (If you would like to view these surgeries for study, simply view the video game converted versions in Trauma Center: Second Opinion for Wii). Bekah is also a certified wizard. She practiced her skill at Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry. What's her favorite spell, you may ask, Incendio-starting fires...in your heart! But seriously, Bekah keeps incredibly busy juggling her passion; surgery, and her hobby; wizardry. For those who know Bekah best, know that improv is a life long love for her and she's managed to squeeze a bit of time into her schedule for playing and performing with her newest improv family; The Proletarian Improv Troupe. P.I.T and it's members provide a fun, funny, & fabulous environment away from the blood, guts, and casting spells that take up most of Bekah's time! Bekah would like to send love to those that made her into the magical individual that she tries to be: her T.I.M family, the munchkin, G. & E., that special man in her life with A.D.D., and Boo-her kitten!
John got his first taste of the spot light at an early age. Known at the time as Jp, he was featured on the front page of the Sun News in St Petersburg, FL at 6 months old. He was the youngest swimmer in the history of the pool, he was swimming in. Shortly after being thrust in the spotlight Jp had to put his career on hold. His parents couldn't handle the sudden rush of extreme fame. And had to split. Jp and his mother went to the magical land of Olmsted Fall, OH. Where dreams come true. He laid in waiting. Calculating. Plotting... every move of his comeback. Playing Prince Charming in the first grade graduation play, doing Hans from Hans and Frans at the seventh grade camping trip and then hitting it big as a hair model for the Brown Institute of Cosmetology. But hair Modeling wasn't enough. And he wasn't tall enough to do modeling for real. The stage was the only answer. And his stage name would be John Paul Wesley Fairbairn. No that's way to long. John Paul Wesley. No that's three first names. Jp. No he refused to live in the past. John Fairbairn. Enough said. Paramount took notice of him when he stared as The Gendarme in "Everybody Comes To Rick's". They had to shut the show down after just 3 performances. John's brilliance put Humphrey Bogart's legend at risk. John stayed in it however and continued to have success at the Tri-C theater, doing a great number shows there. Actually it was about 7. He had a great time. And he learned a great deal. But he wanted more so he started working at Cabaret Dada Cleveland's premier improv theater. He started there in the year 200. I mean the year 2000. And continues to play there when he goes back to Cleveland. He received his first paycheck as an actor from The Greatlakes Theater Festival. He appeared as Francis Kirkman in Met By Moonlight. This production was a hard core touring production of which in tailed the gruesome schedule of 13 locations in 2 weeks. This life on the road was his true calling so he packed all his things and his trusty motorcycle. Burtha. Kissed his mother goodbye. Made out with the love of his life at the time. And road out with Buddha as his side kick. Direction the magical land of Hollywood, CA. Where it's easy to get distracted. He graduated from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts with an AA in acting. Stared as Keith Davids son in the one time showing of The Cornbreadman. Installed baseboard with Tim Landfeild and William H. Macey. And after doing hundreds of student films. John co wrote, directed, and stared in The Curse of Macbeth. The film was produced by We3 Prods. Which was founded by Ary Katz, Tyler Townsend and John Fairbairn. John is currently working on his next film called Who's My Rock Jock out in 2008. John is very happy to be working with Proletarian Improv Troupe, which he is a founding member of. P.I.T. and all of its members are pretty cool and allow John to reckless strive to reachive his incredible famousness.
My name is Jordan Warren. I am an improviser. After the show, say HI to me but don't linger, I don't like that. I am a bad ass. I don't have a motorcycle, but I can create one in my mind. That makes me dangerous. I have my own submarine, but I don't use it. I can't swim. Wells Fargo is my bank of choice. If you don't have overdraft protection I highly recommend it. Every year I do the "running of the bulls" in Spain. I have sustained injuries, but they are only mental. I'm fine...fine?...fine. Yes I am Jordan Warren. Yes I am a Proletarian. And Yes I was Prom Royalty.

Tyler likes Miniature Golf. As three-time reigning "Pacific Coast Champion," Tyler is scheduled to face off against eleven year old, Kento Takguri at the "Boomers Put-Put Course" in Irvine, California. "I can't wait for December Seventeenth," says the eager champion. As you may remember, it was around this same time last year, when the champ was facing criminal charges for "Cheating" during the "Put For The Cure" charity fundraiser. He was recently cleared of those charges, but now he faces charges for "Bribing a Put-Put Official." Incidentally, his court date is set for December Seventeenth. Will the Miniature Council allow Tyler to defend his title once again in the "PCC?" Or will child prodigy, Kento Takaguri, stand alone on that day, in Irvine, California, at the "Boomers Put-Put Windmill?"
