After The Blast - November 27 - November 30, 2020

University of Pennsylvania

 Who's Who 

  • Emily Wallace head shot

    Emily Wallace

    as Anna

    Emily would like the audience to know that she is more than a sexy Scottish accent. She also owns NO JARS. Like, not a singular jar. Are jars an American thing? Anyway, Emily woke up at 3 am for many a prod meeting and rehearsal and I think now has the sleep schedule of a fruit bat, so please clap.

  • Yasmin Abdul Razak head shot

    Yasmin Abdul Razak

    as Oliver

    Need a couch? Yasmin has a chair she can throw a sheet on. Oh, you need a living room now? She has another sheet, and it’s hung beautifully. Yasmin is not just the QUEEN of sheet backdrops, she is also the queen of hiding earbuds. Seriously, look at this girl’s ears in this show. Do you see a single bud? I think not.

  • Tara Shilkret head shot

    Tara Shilkret

    as Robot / Lowes

    Tara “Doin too Much” Shilkret is so excited to star in her 348th Front Row production. After playing a sexy 12-year-old in The Nether, an animated salt shaker seemed like the logical next step in her career. She would like to formally apologize for any sorority house noises that occur during the production because the study room is, “like, right next to me right now”.

  • Juliet Dempsey head shot

    Juliet Dempsey

    as Carrie / Sam

    Juliet Dempsey is thrilled to be a part of her first TAC-e production playing the role of Carrie/Sam/Drink Spiller. Her favorite part of this process by far has been wearing the pregnancy belly around Locust Walk to get into character. She is very method. She also is the CEO of scene 5. Don’t ask.

  • Samuel Cheever head shot

    Samuel Cheever

    as Patrick / Mija

    After the Blast was #blessed to have Sam’s positive spirit in the rehearsal room this fall. Sam is always ready to put a smile on your face and give you a good laugh. His presence was much appreciated throughout this production. Don’t ask him to voice act for a scene though. He gets a little too excited when he knows ~nobody can see him~. Just try to guess what Mija’s true costuming is. Please guess.
