Shelly Miller teaches Theatre classes for Theatre Action Project and teaches Preschool. She recently graduated from Texas State University with her M.A. in Theatre and received her B.A. in Social Work from Texas Lutheran University in 2000. She loves theatre. She loves working with people. Her hope is to one day to teach theatre full-time and/or run a program that is similar to TAP by using the Arts as a facilitator for working with the social issues of today. But as for the Girls: She loves working with such a talented and loving group of women and can't wait to blow away Austin with their Rock Opera!

SHANA MERLIN is excellent at improv. For God sakes, she’s been improvising around the world since 1996 and has taught over a thousand hours of improv training to preschoolers and corporate executives alike. But on a more disappointing note, Shana is very bad with keys (as in opening doors and locks), has never balanced her checkbook and has an untreated addiction to In Touch Magazine. You can decide for yourself what you think about Shana by watching of her performances with Girls Girls Girls, The Heroes of Comedy, and Theatre Action Project or by taking one of her improv classes at the State Theatre School of Acting or through Merlin-Works, her education and entertainment company.

ANDREA YOUNG has been performing with Girls Girls Girls since 2002. A bonafide improv junkie, she can also be seen performing with such troupes as the Foolish Mortals, Wooden Nickle, and the Heroes of Comedy. Andrea is currently pursuing her Ph.D. in mathematics at the University of Texas at Austin and hopes to one day combine her love of comedy with that of mathematics by telling a math joke that is actually funny.

KACEY SAMIEE is currently in her senior year at the University of Texas at Austin in the Theatre and Dance department. She is concentrating in robotic lighting design and technology but has had many opportunities to design conventional shows at UT along with lighting more improv shows then she could ever remember. She started doing improv about six years ago at the Hideout coffee house and theatre and doesn't ever have plans of stopping until she is as funny as Shana Merlin.

MO DAVIAU started improvising in high school and waited an entire decade to get back to improv, first with the Heroes of Comedy, and later with Girls Girls Girls. She has also performed sketch comedy with First Round Draft and once threw a dinner roll into the audience at No Shame Theatre. By day, Monique is an archivist in French literary manuscripts at the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center at UT.

JENNIFER CARGILL started performing improvisation in high school and from 1997-2001 performed with ComedySportz Austin. In 2001, she moved to Chicago and trained at The Improv Olympic, Annoyance Theater and The Second City Conservatory. She performed on the Improv Olympic team Sandbox Democracy, the female improv team Bevy and the team Obesessed. She has co-written, co-directed and perfIormed corporate customized improv and sketch shows for Mid-America Bank, Dell, WIC and in the Improv Olympic sketch showcase for MadTV. Her team Bevy was a headliner at the Funny Women's Festival in New York City. Currently, she is the MC and producer of the Austin Air Guitar Championships, an ensemble member of the improv team Tight and Girls, Girls, Girls. She teaches long form improv classes at Austin Circle of Theaters and Brite Lites Acting studio; she is also listed in the Biz – Actors Resource – for improvisational acting.

CAITLIN SWEET is a native of New York City. She came to school in Texas looking to sing Pasty Cline covers in honky-tonk bars and make love to a cowboy. After four years in Austin, she has done neither of those things. However, she will soon graduate from UT with a degree in English. Caitlin enjoys making fruit salad, analyzing poetry, singing in the shower, laying in hammocks in the sun, and going grocery shopping.

JULIE LUCAS is a brand new member of Girls Girls Girls and couldn't be more excited. While she has been performing theater and dance since 1984, she was introduced to the wonderful world of improv through the Heroes of Comedy at the Hideout in 2004. Julie is a fundraising professional at the University of Texas, community volunteer, and proud, but slightly exhausted, parent of two lovely and talented boys who keep her on her toes, sometimes quite literally. She loves Thai food and reading US Weekly, just to stay on top of things.
