Allyssa is thrilled to be part of another murderous March at WHATCo. Last year's "Deadly Dessert Championship" written by Allyssa won the NJACT Perry Award for "Outstanding Production of an Original Play." Allyssa also wrote the previous WHATCo Murder Mystery Dinners: "Unlucky Clovers", "Bridesmaid Murder", and "Trivia Night Murder", as well as "Monster Princess Tales" that was performed for WHATCo’s younger audiences. Other playwriting credits include: "Unicorns Versus Reindeer Games" (Tsquared Productions), "Superhero Princess Tales" (Studio Players) and the Pioneer Drama’s Shubert Fendrich Memorial Playwriting Contest Winner "Poe: Dreams of Madness". Allyssa was a ghostwriter for numerous cozy mystery stories and has published several under her own name, Allyssa Mirry, with Summer Prescott Publishing and her own Hidden Herring Publishing. She recommends checking out her Sticky Sweet Cozy Mystery series set at a taffy shop at the Jersey Shore that is available on Amazon or her blog at www.CozyCrimes.com. Thanks to Brandi-Leigh and the killer cast and crew!

This is Ash’s third WHATCo production, having stage managed last year’s Perry Award Winning “Deadly Dessert Decision”, and acting in “Disaster” (Wealthy Man – u/s Tony). He also recently starred as Gary Guark in Joke’s On NY/NJ’s NYE-Pocalypse, as well as various sketch and stand up comedy outings. Last summer, he played the rookie tour guide in “Beachfront Burglary” ( Hidden Herring Production). He brings with him years of experience with fan costume organizations and a love of theater. When he is not working or in rehearsals, he can be found at Devils or Red Bull games or tinkering with one of his multitudinous hobbies.

Nilanthi is thrilled to be back with WHATCo for her second production. After taking the stage as Miss Hazel in last year's "One Acts Play Festival", she's now eager to learn the intricacies of theatre production. She feels privileged to work alongside such a gifted cast and crew and is especially grateful for the opportunity to share this experience with her husband.

Hello everyone! My name is Roman and I am a professional cosplayer. I'm excited to show off some of my costumes in WhatCo's production of "Class of '05 - A Killer Reunion". I've previously costumed the production "You're A Good Man Charlie Brown" and "Puffs, or Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic and Magic" and I look forward to growing as a costumer and performer.
