After earning a BFA in Theatre Performance and minor in Music Technology from Chapman University last Spring, Shayna went on to work as a production assistant for the Los Angeles Women’s Theatre Festival.
Daniel Stonewall is new to LA having only been here a few months after graduating from Grand Canyon University in phoenix Arizona in 2021. Daniel is primarily an improv comedy performer but you might have seen him in a recent Adidas X March Madness X Eric Emanuel campaign.
Cedric Sutton has had a love of performing from a young age. If Cedric looks familiar, you might have seen him in the past few months in the Oxygen Network shows Real Murders of Atlanta and Buried in the Back Yard, or even in the most recent Rick and Morty themed Wendy’s commercial.
Cedric started young, performing in his first live play at the age of 10. He graduated from Long Beach State University with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Theatre Art Performance/Directing.
Since officially starting his career, Cedric has played a wide range of characters including: Lysander in Shakespeare’s, A Midsummer Night’s Dream; a sensational crooner Conrad Birdie in the classic musical, Bye, Bye, Birdie, a cunning thief in the comedy play, Thieves Carnival; and the ultimate hero in the Superhero action short film, Fantasy. In one play, the director recognized Cedric’s ability to be a chameleon and had Cedric play 4 characters at once, some of whom included Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., John Wayne, and Elvis Pressley. That same director had Cedric warm up the crowd with a 5-minute solo comedy improv skit at the start of every show, performing characters such as Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Elmo, and Gollum from Lord of the Rings.
Cedric now spends most of his time writing, performing in, and producing various projects; spending time with family and friends; and helping out with the various charities he supports. He would like to thank his family and friends for their love and support.
