As part of her regression into adulthood, producer Sapna Gandhi trained at A.C.T. Summer Training Congress, and has since found herself immersed in artistry of all sorts. A theater and film actress, she has enjoyed empathizing with and inhabiting the lives of several compelling characters including Harper in Angels In America, Kate in Wild Oats, and Susan in JUMP! Theatre's Do You Want To Buy My Brain?. She is currently playing the role of Leela in Dinner With the Undertaker's Son in the 2006 Bay Area One Acts Festival (BOA) at the Eureka Theatre.

Sapna was born in England and raised in various regions of the U.S., before anchoring in San Francisco. A graduate of Saint Mary's College of California with a degree in English and Women's Studies, she embraced social, political, and literary activism. As a co-founder of the Women's Resource Center, she helped establish a space for feminist discourse and action, advocacy for sexual assault and harassment victims, and overall safer campus security for students. She also expressed activism through poetry and social commentary in several published collegiate journals, as well as serving as an assistant editor for The Collegian. She dabbles in the corporate and non-profit world, and was an editor for a feminist literary magazine and e-zine, Moxie until she haphazardly discovered her ardent passion for the performing arts. Sapna is a member of Theatre Bay Area and as a nascent transplant into the acting community, is thrilled to collaborate with JUMP! Theatre.

Madison Clell has turned down movie adaptations of her life, and you can find out why at multiples.net. Fearing the truth too weird to print, she listed herself as a career steamboat historian for her high school reunion yearbook. In reality she's a graduate of the University of Oregon's painting department, where she also played trombone in every conceivable form of musical ensemble, up to and including a stint with a costumed disco band. Madison has published 13 single issues and one trade paperback of her acclaimed comic CUCKOO, an autobiographical account of the utter horror, incessant denial, and humor - yes, humor - of living with Multiple Personality Disorder. After 8 years of incessant therapy she is integrated, thank you, and she wants to tell you all about it. In addition to CUCKOO, Madison has placed her artwork in various shows, including Chicago Cultural Center's 2006 'Humans Being' show. Future gigs include self-expression workshops for abuse survivors. Madison lives in San Francisco and balances her intense subject matter with serious side jobs such as painting surfboards.
