He also performs at the Gallery Players Theatre in Brooklyn. Danny is a stand up comedian where you can see his comedy skills every other Tuesday at Suddenly Stand Up, at The Duplex Piano Bar and Cabaret.

Dave Silberger is thrilled to be working with MRT once again, coming up on 4 years of doing shows here. Dave has also been a member of Chicago’s Practical Theater Company and ToonTheater in NYC in the early 90’s. He has been performing at Renaissance Festivals across the nation as his alter ego Half Wit Henry in The Sturdy Beggars Mud Show since he was in his 20’s. He hesitates to acknowledge his current age. Performances are dedicated to the memory of the one and only Florence Pape.

Lisa Walker is thankful to return to the stage and to be sharing it with a great cast. She recently performed Off-Broadway as Janet Shaney in POWERHOUSE as a standby. If you watched Netflix this past year you might have seen her in Orange is the New Black as Sam Healy’s mom (Season 2 and 3) or in Master of None as a mean restaurant hostess in the beautiful Emmy winning episode (Season 1). She is happy to be back with Manhattan Rep exploring new characters in fun original plays.

Marie Wall is an actress based in New York’s Hudson Valley. She is absolutely thrilled to be working with Manhattan Repertory Theatre again in this fantastic production. Marie previously performed in Manhattan Rep’s "Stuck" (summer of 2022).

In addition to acting, Marie recently wrote and produced "Something Unknown", which was featured in The Strawberry Theater Festival. Other credits include directing "One Woman's Journey To Love", a musical written by and starring Humans of New York’s Detra Denise.

Marie would like to thank Manhattan Repertory Theatre as well as Stephanie Debra Lewis for this amazing opportunity. Marie would also like to thank her husband, her friends, family and her super snuggly cat Zeva for their never-ending support.
