Dale Rivera (Emeritus) was discovered during a Factory Theatre retreat in the deep woods of Wisconsin. After terrorizing the ensemble for three consecutive days and nights, he was finally snared with nothing more than a bottle of Italian dressing and an old copy of Penthouse (the one with Samantha Fox on the cover) that Mike Mazzara just happened to have in his tent. Noah Simon then exclaimed, "Damn, this monkey's got some spunk, we should put him in the ensemble!" Everyone agreed and Dale was shipped back to Chicago, bathed, shaved, and taught table manners, English and Esperanto. Since then he has appeared in Captain Raspberry, Poppin and Lockdown and Eagle Hills, Eagle Ridge, Eagle Landing. Bring him a banana and he will do a trick for you.
