KACEY SAMIEE is a recent graduate from the University of Texas at Austin where she studied with the Theatre and Dance department. She concentrated her studies 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.

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.

JULIE LUCAS is a brand old 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 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.

ADEN KIRSCHNER was born with a theatrical spoon in her mouth. She never asked for much. Silver or even porcelain would have been good…but a theatrical spoon it was to be and she has embraced her destiny. With her first taste of the spotlight at the seasoned age of seven, she has performed with multiple theater companies as well as the improve high jinx of Spitting Nonsense, The Starter Kit, The Extra-Ordinary League, and the Heroes of Comedy produced shows Maestro and Start Trekkin. She’s even co-host of the improvised Late Night Lunch Show. But let’s face it there’s just something special about putting on pink and singing with the ladies of Girls Girls Girls! |

ERIN MOLSON has been performing since the tender age of five when she took an acting class for children and found an outlet for her hammy self. She holds a BA in Acting from Beloit College in Wisconsin and can be seen performing around Austin in the all female musical improv troupe Girls Girls Girls. Erin can also be found appearing in musicals produced by the Yellow Tape Construction Company including “The Ultimate X-Mas Musical; the Musical!” and “Warpstar Sexysquad.” Erin has taught improv to children, teens and adults and is absolutely thrilled to be teaching for Merlin Works. Also, Erin always has trouble controlling the volume of her voice. |

SARAH MARIE TUFTS Sarah Marie Tufts arrived in Austin in 2007 with dreams in her pocket
and a hunger for theatre glinting in her big brown eyeballs. With over twelve years experience in performance, dance, technical and
managerial theatre, Sarah knows enough to know when a stage needs sweeping, and when a song needs to be sung. And if the song can't be
sung, she sings it anyway, off pitch and to her musically tolerant kitty. It is with great honor that she gets to play with such fabulous ladies as her GGG troupe mates. Though new to the world of improv, she hopes to keep learning, growing and playing until her head finally explodes under the fascination of it all.
