Billie, has been described in the press as a "sultry siren," with a "Crayola box of skills," "warmth," "effervescence and natural, unforced talents" who "sparkles," burns scenery "to a crisp" and "couldn't be more appealing if she were a banana." Billie has trodden the boards many times at Seattle's 5th Avenue Theatre as a hippie, a groupie, a virgin, a shimmy instructor, a kid sister, a stewardess, a showgirl, a princess, an artist's model, a grandmother, 2 maids, a Daffodil, a foley artist, of an intrepid radio quartet, a nymphomaniacal anthropologist and an iconic burly-Q headliner with the sniffles. Elsewhere in Seattle, she has been spotted as a Valkyrie, a cheerleader turned erotic art curator, dating baggage (ACT), a pink bird with a tail to die for, (SCT), one of 2 murderous Borden sisters, a lady milliner, a pubescent Von Trapp, a sassy waitress, a prisoner of the inquisition (VILLAGE), a femme fatale (Café Nordo) and Madonna (Harlequin). Billie debuted on Broadway with Scandalous (formerly Saving Aimee) as a therapeutic massage nurse and the apple munching downfall of mankind. Billie's work in Sunday in the Park, Guys and Dolls, Wonderful Town (5th Avenue), Das Barbecü, Vanities (ACT) and Seussical (SCT) has been celebrated with 2 Gregory nominations and 3 Footlight Awards. Billie is a proud founding member of the girl trio The Riveting Rosies. She is also a member of The Sandbox Artist's Collective, Actor's Equity, and SAM. Billie can be heard on the original cast recordings of A Christmas Story and Scandalous. www.billiewildrick.com.

Jenny, short for Jeannette, is a singer, actor, voiceover artist, and voice teacher. She starts her days by thanking the world for calling whether it's letting you know when it's time to get your flu shot at Bartell's or it's her dulcet tones welcoming you to the Seattle Monorail. She goes on to teach singing to aspiring singers of all ages with particular focus on the middle school and high school ages, and then, at day's end, she parks herself at her piano bench to learn whatever music is on her next set list. Last Spring, she kicked off the first night of the inaugural "Seattle Women in Jazz Festival" performing songs from her debut CD "Stage Road". Though she never did run off and join the circus, she did sing for Cirque du Soleil's Mystère in Las Vegas and had her first brush with being a showgirl. Jenny has a special affinity for flowers, singing as a Riveting Rosie, a Daffodil and as the Rose Seller in the 5th Avenue Theatre's production of Oliver! Previous shows include: Spring Awakening at Balagan Theatre, Oklahoma!, Sweeney Todd and Sound of Music at the 5th Avenue Theatre and numerous guest appearances in their Spotlight Night series and, more recently, in their New Works program, Village Theatre's Festival of New Musicals, Intiman Theatre's Black Nativity, Showtunes' George M!, Lyric Light Opera's Brigadoon, Seattle Opera's Turandot and guest appearances with the Seattle Men's Chorus.

A lifetime in the Performing Arts has lead Candice into many adventures ranging from being a dancing duck in a theme park to performing in the Tony Award winning production of The King and I. She has performed in cities all across the United States from Los Angeles to Kalamazoo! She has shared the stage with great stars such as Hayley Mills, Marie Osmond, Chuck Wagner and Faith Prince in the Broadway and National Tours of The King & I and Jekyll & Hyde (National Tour). At the Prestigious 5th Avenue Theater in Seattle, she performed roles in Miss Saigon, Sound of Music, Sweeney Todd and the Original Cast of A Christmas Story (Pre-Broadway). She can even be heard on the Original Cast album of that show as well! She has walked down runways, worked as a print model, acted in commercials, been a showroom model and was Miss Atlanta (talent winner/finalist at Miss Georgia!) Her adventure continues daily as she is married to a submarine officer in the United States Navy, a soccer mom, and dance mom! In her spare time she teaches voice and instructs the next generation of performing talent in the hopes of aiding in the fulfillment of dreams! A dream is a wish your heart makes!

Joanna grew up in the middle of the woods of northeastern Connecticut. After graduating Phi Beta Kappa from the University of Virginia, writing a magna cum laude English thesis on "Control versus Collaboration in the Work of Caryl Churchill" and including a chapter about performing the role of Isabella Bird in Top Girls, she moved to Cincinnati to do an acting internship at the Ensemble Theatre of Cincinnati, where acclaimed playwrights like Edward Albee and Brad Fraser were debuting new works. After the internship, she became a founding member of the Cincinnati Shakespeare Festival, and she acted regionally, delighted to get her Equity card playing Edward in Caryl Churchill's Cloud Nine at the Human Race Theatre Company in Dayton. She later moved to New York, and worked in regional and New York theater, while also getting involved in the development of new work with New York off-Broadway companies like Theatre Askew, Transport Group, and in the solo show and variety performance scenes at alt-comedy venues like Surf Reality and the Fez. After returning from the Ordway national tour of Buddy: the Buddy Holly Story, she was especially thrilled to create and host a bi-monthly performance series called "The Happy Hour Salon" which lasted for five seasons in various venues. With Lance Werth, she created a two-person musical comedy tribute to Helen Reddy called Reddy or Not, which she was able to perform for La Reddy herself in a career highlight that saw Helen signing the back a photograph of Joanna singing "I Am Woman" in her fifth grade talent show. A proud member of SAG, AFTRA, and AEA, Joanna has recently been working in independent film and television, and she looks forward to keeping the resume eclectic and the imagination fertile. Joanna lives in Hell's Kitchen.
