Director
Broadus Nesbitt
Broadus Nesbitt III is excited to once again be joining Artistic Synergy of Baltimore. Not as a performer, but as a director. Broadus has done shows at ASOB which include AIDA and GOOSEBUMPS: THE MUSICAL. If you’re familiar with the Baltimore City theater scene you may have seen him in Rapid Lemons Productions VARIATIONS ON COURAGE last summer. He was also in Fells Point Corner Theater’s MISS HOLMES last spring. Broadus would like to thank everyone for supporting his directorial debut. As well as a special thanks to ASOB for trusting him with such a daunting show.

Choreographer
Samantha Reynolds
Samantha is excited to be working on her second show with ASOB. This time off the stage as a choreographer. (Though you may catch a glimpse of her on stage if you look closely). This will be Samantha’s first time choreographing a show on her own, though she has been assistant choreographer to shows such as THE ADDAMS FAMILY & SEUSSICAL. Samantha is honored to be taking on this beast of a show and is so grateful to the cast and crew for bringing her vision to life.

Intimacy Director
Kay-Megan Washington
Kay-Megan Washington (she/her/hers) is a seasoned stage, television and film actor, and now intimacy director. Having worked in the areas of diversity, equity and inclusion and mental health treatment for both survivors and perpetrators of sexual violence in her non-acting life, moving into advocating for artist safety, bodily autonomy, and universal use of consent practices in the theatre community seemed an obvious next step. Kay-Megan has previously intimacy directed WHOSE WIVES ARE THEY ANYWAY? and AIDA here at Artistic Synergy of Baltimore, LOVE/SICK at Spotlighters Theatre, and ON THE VERGE at Fells Point Corner Theatre. Kay-Megan is currently completing certification through Intimacy Directors and Coordinators (IDC).
