Meet Foul Play, the amazing cast of Big Blue Door’s new spring Vinegar Hill show, How to Get Away with Murder Improv. This crew is as bold as bail jumpers, smart as alibis, and quick as a vig. Check out their sets on select Saturdays each month, starting April 26th!
Deborah Arenstein has performed with Big Blue Door for over 10 years, and credits improv with keeping her adult (and fabulous) children alive. Her offstage life also includes her nonprofit consulting group, Board Whisperers, Irish Doodle Libby, mahjong, gardening, and reading as much as possible.
Rachel Showalterl has a sharp sense of humor, which means many “regular” people are frightened of her. She’s considered quitting her day job to perform improv fulltime, but the spaceship offered her tenure. Her devotion to her offspring is apparent in the way she tenderly holds their secrets, unless she’s onstage.
Keaton Ray is a personal trainer. He’s also an actor you might see performing in ads or shows on your very own teevee. He dreams of someday being in a horror movie.
Marjory Ruderman is a writer who has performed with many Big Blue Door improv groups. She’s also taught classes and run Big Blue Door workshops. Marjory was interviewed as part of WHTJ’s Charlottesville Inside Out program on Big Blue Door.
Teja Vadlamudi is a homebody. If he leaves the house, he can be found in a public sauna.
Jordan Breeding is a comedy writer and video producer best known for his work rebooting the Cracked YouTube channel before starting his own channel “Dr. Jordan Breeding.” He currently lives in Charlottesville with his wife and three kids.
Kevin Sawyer deep down wants to be a magical combination of Lynda Carter, Nell Carter, Catherine O’Hara, and Tina Fey. Kevin grew up obsessed with Kelly Kapowski, but secretly, Zach Morris. Kevin works for a finance company but promises he’s not THAT kind of finance guy. Kevin is originally from Chesapeake, Va. Outside of a 7-year stint in Shanghai, he spent most of his adult life in Charlottesville, where he now lives with his offspring. Kevin loves theater, music, and above all things – laughing. If you are so inclined to give roses after a show, Kevin prefers peonies.
Robin Smith grew up riding gators in New Orleans and was once the Queen of Sugarcane. She now lives a nice, noisy life with her patient husband, two free range kids, Labrador, saintly cats, and fourteen hens.
