TIMOTHY C. AMOS (Jake Bigsby) is so happy to be working at "home" with the Factory and the cast of DEAD WRONG. Timothy was last seen in MOP TOP FESTIVAL right here with the Factory and is happy you are here supporting theatre in Chicago "where it's at", the store fronts. Thanks to Mom and Dad, Lizard and friends whom I love dearly. Still scared of elk, and Jeff Gordan sucks. However, Krystal (my dog) is awesome. Enjoy the show. Hugs.

ZACH BLOOMFIELD (Sam Austin) feels privileged to be part of the DEAD WRONG ensemble and is grateful to the Factory for the opportunity to play (his cats, on the other hand, wish he would give up this theatre nonsense and stay home). Zach has acted and directed at several colleges and universities in the "middle" of the U.S. (KSU, NDSU, CU, UMC, JJC) and most recently appeared in THE RIMERS OF ELDRITCH at Joliet Junior College where he teaches theatre courses and serves as chair of the Fine Arts Department.

ALLISON CAIN (Donna) is very excited to be in her first Factory show since 2005. She started working with the Factory in 1997 and was invited to join the ensemble in 2000. In 2002 she was elected Executive Director, a role that she continued until she decided it was time for someone else to enjoy the fun in 2007. Past Factory favorites include: FAT, THE BARBARA WALTERS INTERVIEWS, HERB STABLER WANDERING SPIRIT, THE LIFE AND DEATH OF BARB BUDONOVICH, DICK DANGER, BEING AT CHOICE, MÉNAGE À TRAILER, TOAST OF THE TOWN and TOP SHELF. Previously, Allison was also the Artistic Director of Studio 108 from 1991 – 1996. She received her training at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA and Columbia College in Chicago and has worked almost exclusively on new work since 1990, in Los Angeles, Connecticut, Scotland and Chicago. Allison is also currently the Managing Director of Lifeline Theatre where she has also worked as an actor in JOHNNY TREMAIN, CROSSING CALIFORNIA, THE MARK OF ZORRO and MARIETTE IN ECSTASY. She is thrilled to have finally made the full time transition to the not for profit theater world where she can remain committed to the production of new works. Thanks to Manny.

MARLANA MAY CARLSON (Stage Manager) originally hails from Baltimore, MD, but Chicago is her 'favoritist' place of all. She has a BA in Theatre from Oberlin College, 2003. This is her 18th production, 12th in association with Prop Thtr. Recent credits include AMERICAN NOTES (WAFF), THE SOLID GOLD CADILLAC (Open Eye Productions) and BUSTIN’ OUT OF THE HELL (Factory Theater). This is her 2nd show with the Factory. Yay!!

ERNIE DEAK (Props Master) has been a proud member of the Factory Theater ensemble since 2005. That's right. Proud. He was last seen in the mega-smash hit MOP TOP FESTIVAL as Chantal the Beatles Mentalist. He has appeared in other shows. He has written and co-written a few, too, including TOAST OF THE TOWN (with Scott OKen) and SHAMELESS SHAMUSES. Thanks for coming out to support the local arts. Love to Tracy!

CORRI FEUERSTEIN (Becky/Mrs. Chambers) is screaming with joy (for a change) at the opportunity to be a part of the awesomeness that is DEAD WRONG. This is her 6th production with the Factory, where she is a proud ensemble member. She is also a proud Founding Director of Will Act For Food. She's even a proud singer in the all-Factory band, The Cain Mutiny. Maybe Corri is too proud, but she digresses. Corri has worked with lots of companies on lots of shows and she'll tell you all about them later. She is also happily gearing up for MARRIAGE TO PASKO 2010 - a show not to be missed, though you might if she doesn't know you. Thanks for coming, thanks to friends, thanks to Mom.

DANN FRANKE (Set Designer) is a full-time teacher, coach, and director at Lemont High School. He would like to thank the Factory folks for letting him practice his craft outside the classroom, and he would like to thank his beautiful wife, Diane, and his amazing daughters, Delaney and Logan, for supporting him in all of his time-consuming endeavors. You might think that they don’t miss me much when I’m gone, but you’d be… Dead Wrong!

JOSH GRAVES (Cass/Red) has been working as a Stage Manager, Assistant Director and Actor in Chicago since 2004. He was last seen in Factory Theater's MOP TOP FESTIVAL in the role of Mark Diaz. He sends his love to Joie and his entire Factory family.

He would like to thank Jill, Kyle, Erik and Stephanie for their love and support, and dedicates his work to Marlene.
