HOME SHOWS PLAYERS GURUS THE VAULT HISTORY BOOKING	Full list of SImp Alumni People who made it all possible Dan Klein Dan Klein is the coach of the SImps. A SImp of old yore, Dan has traveled far and wide in his improv work before his return to Stanford. He is now a professor in the Stanford Drama Department. Andre Amarotico Bla Bla Bla Bio Bla Bla Bla Agatha Bacelar Agatha Eleonora Guimarăes Bacelar de Oliveira Stephens. Alex Bayer "Two balloons: the story of two balloons and a small bear" When I separate a hand, where does you fly to? The end. (Unknown whether this was found on a Japanese notebook or in Alex's subconscious) Brittany Beavers Brittany will know her soulmate by the way he complements her last name. "Why hello, Mr. Lotsa..." Justin Brown Justin's middle name is actually Case. Forreals yo. Sophie Carter-Kahn Sophie is not a girl, not yet a woman. She wants the world; she wants the whole world! She wants to wrap it all up in her pocket – it’s her bar of chocolate. She so international, the way -- the way she get it on the floor. Xandra Clark Xandra is small...but MIGHTY! (At least, that's what her mother always told her, so obviously she believes it.) She was the spelling champion in her second grade class and got extra credit for correctly spelling the word "onomatopoeia". That was the peak of her career. It's only gone downhill from there. She is also a magical wood nymph, with a secret ability to-- oh wait, that's a secret. Will Cox The word 'biography' most likely derives from the Greek words 'bios' and 'graphia'. The latter refers to a kind of writing, and is often translated as either 'record' or 'account'. The former means 'life', but in a particular sense -- it refers not to the fact of life, that is, that one is alive at all (this would be the Greek word 'zoe'), but rather to the specific form of life appropriate to a particular person (such as a politician or housebuilder). To write a biography, then, is to give a written account of one's form of life; to write one's life. Will's favorite word is 'rumpus'. Mathias Crawford Every improv group needs a Canadian. That would be me. Follow me on twitter (@mfcrawford) but not in real life. Aaron Damashek Aaron likes kaleidoscopes, mangoes, rolling down (and up) hills, trampolines, bonfires, playing ukelele, and otters. He is also willing to teach you how to Dougie. Maria Dogero Maria loves....... you! Jordan Gray Jordan hails from the small state of Vermont. Although there were once more cows than people, the land of skiing, pretty colored leaves, and maple syrup finally has over 700,000 people. And yes, he is a maple syrup snob. Get that Log Cabin bull outta my face. Anwar Hahn What is love? It is Anwar Hahn. If only Haddaway knew... Jessia Hoffman Jessia sincerely believes that improv = life. She is happiest when playing on stage and finds an excuse to bring improv up in every conversation. With anyone, anywhere, anytime. Jessia is absolutely thrilled to follow in her former coach's footsteps as a SImp (I see you, Lisa!) Lauren Kelly Lauren's alter ego is a gremlin by the name of Egadzooks. She's climbin' in yo window, and snatchin' yo people up. Dan Knapp Dan likes to say "rise up lights" and pretend he has an Australian accent. Try it! Alexis Luscutoff Say yes Be obvious Make your partners look good Embrace failure Open your eyes to the gifts This is why I play. This is why I love SImps. James Mannion James is very nostalgic and has therefore promised as webmaster to do everything in his power to keep this website from being updated to the 21st century. Austin Meyer Austin loves rube goldberg contraptions, time-lapse photography, sonicare toothbrushes, appetizers, fire places, new socks, potstickers, lip-syncing, hammocks, the mandolin, cookies and milk, blazers, barbershop quartets, creative halloween costumes, playgrounds, freckles, soccer, and his beautiful pup Lola. Shannon Mulloy Shannon could quite possibly be a gecko. Just watch the way her toes effortlessly take hold when she climbs trees...or walks in sandals. Lawrence Neil Lawrence used to go by Lance and have an afro. Real talk. Erik Olesund SImps first Swede (?) Max Cougar Oswald It's like there's a party in Cougar's head, but no one remembered to invite him! Jenny Pegg Jenny (L) is the SImps' first two-dimensional player. Despite her spatial limitations and lack of appreciation for vanishing-point geometry, Jenny enjoys many of the same activities as normal boys and girls-- things like holograms, orienteering, making facial expressions, and stacking blocks. Also dioramas, solving equations of three or more variables, and marksmanship practice with friends. After graduation she plans to become a structural engineer. She would like to thank Georges Braque for teaching a girl to dream. Jon Proctor Jon was made in Hershey, Pennsylvania; that's why he's such a sweetie. Smile vibrantly! Alex Simon Alex likes puppies and babies. Small things friends, small things. dailypuppy.com is her site of choice. Emma Steinkellner Emma is an enigma wrapped in a cardigan wrapped in a bowl of Special K wrapped in a Muppet Baby wrapped in a North American grizzly bear. Mona Thompson Mona means both cute and monkey in Spanish. Lindsey Toiaivao Lindsey is so charming, she eats charm for breakfast. Several, in fact. Lucky variety. She's also quite waffling. Michael Vang i am a monsta Chris Young Chris always wanted to eat a piece of his mother's piano but his appetite couldn't handle his musical...ity. So, he opted to explore the SImps where he learned love. -A word-at-a-time bio by the intrepid retreat group of Fall 2008	Book us for an event!
