A Special Thanks
We are thrilled to welcome you back to the remount of our original show Gudlung by playwrights Garrett and Peter Rusk. This show first ran at the Twin Cities Horror Festival earlier this year. We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to our cast and crew for sharing their time and energy to bring this incredible show to life.
Cast
Alisa Rehani (she/her): Vivian
Alisa Rehani is old enough to have been around when Dangerous Productions was born, performing in Happy Cafe during the original production (in collaboration with Four Humors Theater), as well as two remounts, and Happy Crazy St. Patrick's Day. She's also a former company member of Four Humors Theater, and spent her formative years onstage at Bedlam Theatre. You may have seen her in DP's production of Doctor Clown during last year's TCHF. She's excited to be back on the tarp, performing this wild show written by one of her favorite people, directed by her favorite Baller.

Barcy Stricker (she/her): Grandma
Barcy is having a blast working with the talented Dangerous Productions writers, directors, cast, crew and special effects folks to bring this fascinating, bloody show to life. She earned her BFA in theatre many moons ago and spent the past 25 years working in the financial services industry. Now happily retired, she gets to spend her time acting, helping elementary kids learn to read, and doing whatever else strikes her fancy. Though this is her first appearance in the Twin Cities Horror Festival, she hopes it won’t be the last. Recent productions include Lady Windemere’s Fan with Classics Lost ‘n’ Found Theater and A Murder is Announced with Expressions Theater. Barcy lives in Midway St. Paul with a couple of adorable cats.

Jared Reise (he/him): Gudlung Voice
This is Jared's first show with Dangerous Productions, and hopefully not his last. He's been around the Twin Cities doing theater for a little while now. Most recently, he wrote, directed, and played Richard Nixon in "Nixon Shows Gleason a U.F.O." at this year's Minnesota Fringe Festival. Jared has also appeared in Theater in the Round’s “King Lear” and “Arsenic and Old Lace”, as well as Just Us Theatre’s “I’ll Be Home for Kahless”, and the Mounds Theater’s “It’s an Honorable Life”. Look for him next at the Phoenix Theater in "Mistletoe & Mayhem". He hopes that you enjoy Gudlung, a darn bloody good show!

Mark Rehani (he/him): Ted
This is Mark's first time performing, and he couldn't be happier to be doing it with the art being theater. He had previously only ever thought about the idea of expressing himself with toenail tapping on various hard wooden surfaces, but just the thought made him tired. When he's not performing in this show, Mark prefers to have his back hair braided by small porcelain doll hands. Make sure to catch Mark in his next theater!
