Meet the Oranges

Cheyenne Lorraine (Orange - female cast) Cheyenne is a nomad who has found a comfortable home in Olympia for the past three years studying performance art and social justice at The Evergreen State College. She caught the acting bug at age ten when she sat in a dark theater for three hours, mesmerized, while watching the first Lord of the Rings film. She was sitting between her mother and sister, who both fell asleep before the fellowship even reached Rivendell, but Cheyenne had been transported directly into the journey across Middle Earth. The spell broke when Mount Doom loomed and credits rolled, but she became determined to make those fantastical situations a reality in her life.

She has enjoyed provocative theatre ever since getting to deliver the line, “Is this a dagger I see before me, or are you just happy to see me?” as Lady MmmBeth in her middle school parody production of the Scottish Play. She is incredibly theatrically superstitious and asks anyone who even thought the real name of that show to turn around three times, spit, and swear. Even if you’re not in a theatre. And maybe knock on some wood, too—just for good measure.

She is incredibly grateful to have been a part of numerous theatre tribes throughout her life, but none more so than her vagina sisters from the last two years of The Vagina Monologues at TESC, which she had the great fortune of directing this last February.

She is also incredibly grateful for the opportunity to work with another full cast of inspiring, talented, and experienced females whose collective level of badassery will never be surpassed.

She looks forward to living the rest of her “real” life gunshot wound free and would like to remind everyone that nothing rhymes with Orange.

Christian Doyle (Mr. Orange – male cast) Christian is a Tacoma native who has made his home in Olympia for the last two years. In that time, he's been responsible for staging most of the violence TAO has presented. This show is no exception. In addition to fight direction, Christian has appeared on both the TAO stage as Packer in "Cannibal" and the Harlequin stage in multiple productions. His claim to fame is appearing in a few "Gamers" films as well as the web series “Journeyquest.” When not acting, directing, writing, or teaching theatre arts, Christian enjoys smoking cigarettes on sidewalks and talking about how awesome he is. He is also ridiculously slow about getting bios in – not that anyone really cares.
