Earl V. Prebezac
As a World War II veteran that
attended Oregon State College on the G.I. Bill, Earl V.
Prebezac is a perfect representative of his generation. Earl
and his wife Nann have had a long history in Northwest theater.

the Edgemont Theater, operated the Bellevue Play Barn
children's theater, and appear regularly in radio roles on the

Earl has also performed more than two hundred and fifty
emcee gigs at the Seattle Opera House for World Cavalcade, at
the Seattle Shakespeare Fest, and other theaters about town. In
addition to voice-overs, and TV commercials, he took up film
acting in the mid-nineties when long-time friends, Jeff Probst
urged him to take part in his film-- "Trust Me". He has
appeared in a number of films since then....and looks forward
to more film work.

several shows throughout Los Angeles and Seattle. She has also
directed three shows: JUDITH, and WOUNDS TO THE FACE, both by
playwright, Howard Barker and a new play by Judy Soo Hoo called
BEASTLY BEAUTIES. Some of her favorite roles to play were:

ENERGY SWALLOWS SPACE, an original piece created and directed
by Travis Preston. She is a graduate of the California
Institute of the Arts. Frances is happy to be working with Matt
Wilkins again on this project.
Keith Fox
Keith has had a number of
employment situations which prepared him for the role of "DAD."
As a teen-ager he sold hotdogs and pop out side the stripper
tent in a traveling carnival. He did not succeed academically
in college, at least in the opinion of the college, and was
forced to go on the road. In San Francisco he worked for a
television store as a repo man. While most of his clients were
non-English speaking, they all understood the universal
language of the TV going out the front door. This was followed
by a 2 month stint as a paid experimental research subject for
the renowned astrologer Carroll Righter. In Los Angeles he
worked for the County Dept. of Corrections were he supervised
inmate work gangs in highway construction. A second shot at
college resulted in a degree, if not significantly greater
academic success. Early wastes of time as a grad included
working as a welfare caseworker in New York, also driving cab
and waiting tables. Ultimately all the perseverance and hard
work paid off and he got a job as a writer and producer for NBC
daytime TV. Regular assignments included the "Who What Where
Game," "Jeopardy" and others. After emigrating to Canada he
founded the PEI Summer Playhouse and produced and directed 4
seasons of summer stock. He has been an award winning newspaper
reporter and advertising creative director -- his current
occupation.
David Donihue
Donihue started in theater
writing, directing and acting. He was responsible for HOLD MY
HAND & TELL ME I'M NOT INSANE, HEY BABY DO YA WANNA COME BACK
TO MY PLACE AND JUSTIFY MY EXISTENCE, and BRAIN ACHES. He later
moved into film, directing a string of music videos and
commercials, and playing roles that ranged from a serial killer
to a retarded man to a geeky accountant. Before leaving
Seattle, he directed THE HUMANITY EXPERIMENT, a surreal digital
feature. After his recent move to LA, he directed the 50 minute
hi-def drama HEATWAVE, and co-wrote PARZANIA, a feature that is
currently shooting in India.
Jennifer Estes
Jennifer Estes is a senior in
high school. She has taken theatre courses at Seattle
Children's Theatre (including the Young Actor Institute),
Seattle Repertory Theatre, and the Oxford School of Drama. She
has acted in plays with SCT Summer Stage, Enumclaw High School,
Heavy Than Air Theatre, and Plateau Community Players. She
worked with playwright William Mastrosimone in the workshop
reading and a full production of BANG BANG YOU'RE DEAD, before
touring it throughout Washington for the Department of
Education. Favorite roles include Hermia in A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S
DREAM, Mary Warren in THE CRUCIBLE, and Babe in CRIMES OF THE
HEART. BUFFALO BILL'S DEFUNCT is her first experience with
film; she found it both exciting and satisfying. Jennifer hopes
to be involved in more independent film projects while she
attends college next year as a theatre major.
Wiley W. Wilkins
Wiley was born 12 years ago. His
first role was at the age of 2 months in a student film by
Chris Smith called "Space," made at the University of Iowa
while his parents were attending college. He has appeared, both
purposefully and accidentally, in several Sisyphus Productions,
