Brandi Blackwood Lowe is a classically trained fine artist who also loves being a part of live theater. She most recently portrayed Sister Hubert in the musical Nunsense with Funky Little Theater Company, and was also in Funky's Spamalot and August: Osage County. She loves to sing soul music, paint, study odd history, NOT wear pink, and laugh as much as possible. This show has been one of her favorites to work on because of all the laughing and thoroughly fabulous cast and crew. She hopes you enjoy your evening of local theater and laugh heartily!

KRYSTEN WHEARLEY (Harper) is back at it again. You might have seen her recently, rocking a red dress and seducing unavailable men as Diana in "Lend me a Tenor" OR as Eileen in "Moon Over Buffalo". This time she is joining this crazy, amazing cast in this sequel to "A Doublewide,Texas Christmas", and taking on a role like none she has played before. When she is not flailing around on stage, she is likely at her day job as an engineer, but when the workday is done, her free time is filled with baking random sweets, relaxing in a hot bath or learning aerial arts as fast as her muscles/strength will allow. She would like to thank you all so much for supporting local community theater, and hope you enjoy the show as much as all of us in the cast do!
