While attending Southern Illinois Univ.-Edwardsville, Bryan began working professionally both as an actor/director and in production. After one summer working as a P.A. in the office of Executive Producer Paul Blake for the largest outdoor theatre in the country (The Muny in St. Louis), he returned for two more summers as Production Coordinator. Bryan served as the Lab Instructor for three years at St. Louis Community College, teaching students Voice & Articulation. I don’t know if you can tell Bryan is a St. Louis native! Working there presented many directing opportunities, two favorites being Two Rooms, and A Raisin in the Sun. As an actor he toured schools performing and educating young students through history plays with the now defunct Historyonics Theatre Company. He went on to perform in many different plays as well as commercials and film before moving to Los Angeles. Some of his favorite roles include: Hamlet, Arthur Ashe, & Oscar Charleston. “If I could play one role on Broadway, I’d like it to be Othello.” While in L.A., Bryan has been seen numerous times on Days of Our Lives, co-starred in a short film titled MoMo which he also co-executive produced with his production company Zethus Entertainment. And he is also partnered in a new clothing & apparel line, Knoll Street Clothing. Watch Bryan on Samantha Who? this fall!
Tiffany Tejeda
Tiffany received her BFA from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, where she studied Meisner and Viewpoints before finishing her time there at the Experimental Theatre Wing. Favorite roles at Tisch include: Liz in Our Country’s Good, Edna in Waiting for Lefty, and Whitney in A Piece of My Heart. After graduation, she returned to her home state of Texas, where she appeared in many productions, including Angels in America, in the role of Harper. Her favorite LA stage role so far has been Thomas in Sister Mary Ignatius Explains it All for You (yes, that’s the little boy). Tiffany is thrilled to now be a part of The Red Brick Road, as she can’t think of another group of people she’d rather be working with.
Nina Hauser
Nina Hauser has been dancing and acting in most parts of Europe and, at this time, here in L.A. She has been very fortunate to be work with very inspiring people, such as Terry Beeman (Atmosphere), Alan McCormick (Franco Dragon), Matthew Dickens (Dream Girls) and Keith Young (Rent) who she met while filming Rent the Movie (Dir. Chris Columbus). In 2006, Nina graduated from the three year drama program Theatre of Arts. Since, she has been studying with Sal Romeo at the “Friends and Artists Studio,” the Lee Strasberg Academy, and currently she is taking classes with Amy Lyndon. In the past three years Nina performed in A Bright Room Called Day (Tony Kushner), Sexual Perversity in Chicago (David Mamet), Something in the Basement (Don Nigro), The Contract with the Laurelgrove Theatre Company (Dir. Jack Heller) and most recently completed a run with The Vagabond Players Theatre Company in a west coast premiere of Shadow Box by Michael Cristofer. Nina appeared in Breaking Vegas, Guilty or Innocent, played the lead in Room 33, an independent film directed by Eddie Barbini and work on Mystery E.R. (Burning Love). She wrapped two independent films Road to Damascus, (Dir. Sid Burston) and Duels of Legends, (Dir. Hector Echevarria) and shot the comedy Impossible Missionaries, written and directed by Javier Ronceros. In December she completed a distributional web series for the German Clothing company Neckerman, and currently she is choreographing the musicals Beauty and the Beast and South Pacific for the SMCH.
Born and raised in Ohio, John has been involved in the performing arts for many years. With a unique stage presence, he has portrayed many roles in the theatre, from comedies to dramas. He will be seen very soon in the upcoming feature film “Footprints”. If I could play any role on Broadway it would be: “Hamlet, there is no character more challenging and thought provoking. You learn so much everytime you give it a whirl, nothing but fun…”
Pamela hails from the fine state of North Dakota. After tossing her cookies in her first college biology lab, Pamela discerned that a career in medicine probably would not be a good fit. On a whim she auditioned for a community theatre musical and bang!, got bit by that nasty old acting bug. To the resounding “oh crap’s” of her family she soon found herself pursing a BFA in Theatre Performance. After a summer acting internship with the Illinois Shakespeare Festival she went on to continue training in acting and improv comedy in Chicago before finally landing on the streets of L.A. Some of her favorite past roles include Agnes in Agnes of God, Female Greek Chorus in How I Learned to Drive, Kate in Taming of the Shrew, and Maggie in Lend Me a Tenor. Although she realizes she’s probably too old, if she could play any role on Broadway, Pamela would love to play Little Red Riding Hood from “Into the Woods”.
Though his parents had been hoping for antidisestablishmentarianism, Kurt’s first word was ‘bow’ and the path was set. His first acting gig was being locked in the closet by his sisters,who liked to hear him talk to himself and make up scenes. If only Kurt had understood cause and effect as a 5 year old… His first stage role was as Theo in Pippin. He also stared in all of the high school plays and more than a few community theater shows back in MI, before moving to Los Angeles, where he attended the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. He has owned two production companies, one for producing short films and one for producing plays. He also began directing about eleven years ago when someone said ‘Okay smartass if you think you can do it better…’ and he did. Some of his favorite roles have included: Williamson in ‘Glengarry Glen Ross’, Nathan Detroit in ‘Guys n Dolls’, Male Greek Chorus in ‘How I Learned to Drive’. He has also put his time in as both victim and zombie killer in many a horror movie; lost hundreds of pounds with various infomercial products; and helped Dion Sanders peddle his ‘Hotdog express’. And of course like everyone in this town he is working on a script that will instantly make him the next M. Night Shamil… Shimama…Shilam…Hitchcock. If he could play any role on Broadway it would be Ricky Roma in Glengarry Glen Ross because there is nothing like a role dripping with testosterone.

Christine Macedo is a transplant from the east coast. Raised in the suburbs of Philadelphia , Christine is blessed to belong to a close-knit and supportive family. Most recently, Christine filmed a role in “Comedy Traffic School” from Yeah Mon Entertainment. Christine also performs improvisational comedy every Friday Night with “2 Drink Minimum” at the L.A. Connection in Sherman Oaks, CA. In addition to acting, Christine is a writer of short stories. Her story “Night of the Sprites” has the honor of being an EditRed.com Short Fiction Award winner.
After graduating from University of the Pacific in 2007 with a B.A. in Theatre Arts & Film Studies, Amber knew she had to hit the road in order to put all of that training to use. In school, she focused on Acting but also worked as the U.O.P. Theatre Arts Production Manager and Press Agent. She served an internship in marketing at Nederlander Producing Company of America in New York under Chief Marketing Officer, Ms. Susan Lee and has served as a freelance marketing agent for many shows and tours. She is now living in Los Angeles to continue training as an actress and soak up that SoCal Sun. When not working on developing this company, she works at Allied Live, a full service live entertainment marketing company. Her favorite performances include Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme from Assassins and Desiree from A Little Night Music; however, if she could play any role on Broadway she would play Millie from Thoroughly Modern Millie so she could revive that good ole’ classic musical theatre feel.
