connection with this pop princess and shares many similar experiences such as
many years of dance classes, mousekateering, and late night trips to Vegas with
random people.  Well, maybe not, but she
does want to thank her family and friends for their support and James Mango for
giving her this opportunity.  It’s
Britney bitch!

 

Joseph Milan
(Cleveland Brown) is pleased to make his Fourth Wall debut. Joe last appeared
in ‘The God Of Hell” at Bang and Clatter Theater, and continues musical and
theatrical adventures as long as you’ll have him. Thanks for coming and keeping
Elvis in your hearts. Maybe Joe will start a blog about it.

Jovana took a break from theatre to obtain her Masters Degree in

sister Ivana, her parents and her partner Justin – love of life.

  

Dionne D. Atchison
(Darla) is awesome. And she’s glad that she is working with awesome people once

there she was in the following productions:
Marat/Sade, Comedy of Errors, Conference of the Birds Project, Macbett, The

for a children show, Confused?!, and
writer for the late night show Friday’s
Live with Athens Video Works. Dionne also got the chance to live in London for three months to
study Shakespeare, which of course was wicked awesome and hopes to go back
someday. Moving back home she was last seen in the first production of the
season at Fourth Wall; All’s Fair as
Debbie. So to end this amazing and what she thinks is an awesome bio, she would
like to thank the cast, crew, director, playwright for making The Blogger an
awesome adventure that Bill and Ted 
totally wish they had. Also she would like to thank her family for not
judging her but loving her. And lastly apologize to the state of Texas and anyone who’s
from there. So enjoy the show!

Justin Tatum
(Artistic Director)

            I am very
excited and proud of the work being brought to the stage in our production of The Blogger.  This is one hilarious comedy that you won’t
want to miss.  While not working behind
the scenes this production company I have worked extensively throughout the Northeast Ohio theatre community, along with recently
acting in some soon to be released works in the film industry.  As a long time supporter and proponent of the
arts I wish to see a steady increase in the level of attendance in the theatre
again.  I truly believe it is a great
medium of the arts, for all to come out and enjoy; to see and be seen, and
laugh and cry along side your fellow man. 
Only then might we truly understand how we are all in this together and
we all feel very much the same.  I wish
you the best in the coming year, and hope you enjoy the show.Sincerely,
Justin Tatum
