      Heather Setzler 
                                           Founder & Company Actor
I work in television news, so people who don't know me love to hate me. I sing what I'm thinking. I love peanut butter today. Next month it will be coconut. My boyfriend is a clogger. I once lived in Korea, spent a week in Peru, and stayed in London for two weeks by myself. In my other lives I have been a vaudeville stripper, wise-cracking trailer park trash, a Pink Lady, a statue weary, Carmen Miranda, baby Solange, Cassandra von Chirp, Cassandra the weird, a Ho, a kabuki-faced teenager, darling, Droopy Drawers and all legs.

             Pat Maloney 
                                                    Company Actor
Pat  is from Washington, D.C.  We knew she was a ‘natural’ for her part, once we learned her ancestors came from Ireland to Washington, some five generations ago!  (Some people from the Old Country just never lose their accents!)  Pat has been entertaining for… let’s just say - years.  Recently ‘round town, she’s been Mama Morton (Chicago), Mrs. Fezziwig (A Christmas Carol), Mrs. White (Clue) and Mrs. Kirby (You Can’t Take It With You).  She happened upon Oak Island, about 15 years ago, and never left.  Despite her ongoing love affair with an audience, she and her husband have been married for nearly 30 years.  We hope Pat will stick around to show us all the characters she can play, as we expand our repertoire of shows.
