I'm excited to be returning for my second Qabaret at The Foundry and third production with The Queer Theater Project. A software engineer by day, I'm thrilled to be working with QTP to craft fun and exciting lighting and sound designs for this scintillating show. In my free time, I play a lot of TTRPGs and also enjoy various crafting projects including as a makerspace volunteer at The Foundry.

I am a full-time lab scientist in biotech out in the real world. I have always found creative activities in my life is a very necessary balance to my highly analytical way of working. I've always had theater as a constant in my life until the pandemic which canceled my last college production and I am thrilled to be in this Qabaret as my first show to return to the stage. I was honestly intimidated to join the world of community theater as an adult but once I found QTP I knew this was a space I'd feel comfortable and welcomed in! Hope you enjoy the show as much as we have in putting it together for you!

I wear many hats (program director, therapist, singer, astrologer, partner, cat-parent) and I am a strong advocate for systemic CHANGE. This is my fourth production with QTP! I am supremely grateful for the opportunity to be my ND NB self while creating dazzling, subversive art with so many unique and talented friends!

With childhood experience in the theatre, the return to creating amazing performances with Queer Theatre Company was fated for Kael. While he is based in Western MA, this company has been a passion that keeps him coming back. This is his directorial debut after years as an actor & technician and he couldn't be more proud of the performers who brought in exceptional ideas & thoughtful performances to make this directorial job pretty easy!

This is my third QTP production, my second Qabaret, and my first time performing in drag! In the daytime, I teach kindergarten. Thanks for coming on this journey with me!

Honk honk! You may remember me from last year’s Qabaret when I yelled at my situationship and competed on the Bachelorx. Now I’m back to clown around and sing about mind-blowing sapphic sex! In the real world, I’m a pre-k teacher and a devoted mother to Fiona, my three-year-old tortie cat. Some of my interests include gymnastics, finding new foods to dump hot sauce on, belting at karaoke, and going down Wikipedia rabbit holes.

She's a founding member of QTP, having played Bottom in MidSummer, Malvolio in Twelfth Night, and directed this spring's Much Ado About Nothing. She is a mother, partner, knitter, gourmand, admin by day and multi-purpose weirdo by night.

Hann Alexander is a lifelong artist, actor and lover of all things different and fabulous. He danced three years of burlesque during his college years back when he was a girl, and was eager to dip his toes back into the world of queer, sex-positive variety shows like the Queer Theatre Project was advertising, this time as a nonbinary man. They currently work as a tour guide in Boston, ready to bombard you with facts about the 1770s (while somehow always managing to get real Marxist with his tangents when the boss isn't around). He can usually be found spending time with his partners and friends, working on some sort of art project, and planning his next international trip.

Layne (like the road) is a theater-maker, feminist, apple-ripper extraordinaire. They obtained their Master of Fine Arts in Musical Theater from The Boston Conservatory and are very…very… chill about it! Layne has way too many theater credits, it could bore a man; if you want to know more, just ask! You might even get a little Ted Talk out of it! They love to create theater that not only speaks, but roars. She is so excited to be back with QTP after making their debut as Beatrice in Much Ado About Nothing! Layne wants to thank QTP for all the love and acceptance, words can’t describe this love! She would also like to thank their sweet cat, Kabuki Louise 💛

Merry Merry (Matt, he/him + Sherry, she/they) is a couple of reasonably clean hippies based in Somerville. They love tight, timeless songwriting, lush harmonies, tasty bass lines, and you. Get ready to be transported on a wave of sunny, surfy, shimmery bedroom pop and feel all the feelings.

This is my QTP debut! By day I’m a process engineer and part-time high school rowing coach, and by night a musician, visual artist, athlete, host, barber (and now performer!). In my nonexistent free time, I enjoy building community and pushing myself to find new forms of self-expression. Thank you to T and the cast of the Ultimatum, and to everyone at QTP for a fun and welcoming environment; it’s been a blast!
