I am, above all, so proud of my best girl Shannon. The idea behind this show
sprouted many years ago in one of the 80 apartments we shared. This is the 5th production we've been in together & it certainly elicits the most excitement from me. Cheers to Oken for helping so much along the way, to L Mack for taking  the reigns, to Manny for Mannying it, and to George & Triva O'Neill for sharing
Shannon with the world - and always encouraging her to do what 'feels good'. Big cheers to all my fellow knuckleheads at the Factory, who I've been playing with  since 1996. Love to Pat, Rita & my P.I.C Safety Jim. MO-TI-VATE!!!

i is thrilled to be making her Factory Theatre debut with Jenny & Jenni, and to  be playing a human for the first time in over a year! Recent credits included Zilla, a little  scientist alien with a heart of gold in Hey, Mr. Spaceman! with The Strange Tree Group; a  sassy Rhinemaiden, an adorable wood-bird, and others in The Building Stage's epic adaptation  of  The Ring Cycle, and most recently a ghost Antigone and Megira, a goddess of vengence,  in The Last Daughter of Oedipus with Babes with Blades. Sarah has also done work with  Redmoon Theater, Metropolis, Aloft!, and does vocals and keyboard for the band Left Turn at Albuquerque, who is currently recording their first album.  During the day, Sarah is a personal trainer...so she hopes that her clients appreciate seeing  her do some of the moves that she tortures them with...and also hopes that they'll enjoy  learning new ones, such as the Taco Tangler.

is from Kansas City and moved to Chicago in 2005 after graduating with a college degree in French. She still kind of speaks it, but mostly not. Quel domage. Aileen has most recently been seen this past summer in Redmoon Theater's summer festival J.O.E as a mutant ninja cheerleader, as a slutty hipster in Mary-Archie's Cherrywood, and a raging bitch in the Factory Theater's Hey! Dancin! last spring. She has also worked with Dream Theater, Oracle Theater, The House Theater, The Side Project, Hobo Junction and Theo Ubique. In the near future you may see Aileen perform in modern dance pieces throughout the city, capturing the fleeting essence of what it means to be beautiful-ugly. Aileen would like to thank The Factory for being an island of awesome, hospitality and weirdos. Meow

Thanks to Laura for inviting me to this sweet party and thanks to my hip hop soccer player for all of his support. Everyone enjoy the show!

Through several hours of omphaloskepsis, Kim has started her bio and is delighted, gleeful, chipper, exultant, jolly, flying high, tickled pink, slappin skins, and grateful for this online thesaurus is available to help describe her debut with The Factory Theatre in Jenny & Jenni.  She is NOT dejected, despairing, troubled, grieved, heavyhearted, or woebegone to be working with O’Neill and the unparalleled Laura McKenzie. Not to mention the preternaturally cool talents of the rest of this singular cast…let’s kick some balls! She gives muchos thanks to the Fam, lovin her from the South, and her permanent man meat, Kevin, for…well…you know. And Everyone else, thank you for coming to our show!
