    Emily Altman loves writing and performing in sketches with Gentleman Caller. When's she's not doing that, she teaches Italian. She loves cake, dogs and the music of Elvis Costello. That's Emily's "deal".

  • Michael Solis
    Michael Solis

    Michael Solis embodies the proverbial "Diamond in the Rough" while bearing within the potential to become a high quality jewel. He was raised in the desolate and semi-arid flatlands of South Africa by the Swazi tribe, and was often referred to as "The Divine One" or "Inyanga". Handpicked by an adoption agency catering to local celebs such as Charlize Theron, Michael was transported to Los Angeles, CA where he first experienced the light, yet sturdy feel of cotton enveloping his body in the form of American Apparel deep v-neck tees and hoodies. He refused to wear pants. Michael worked unpaid at local movie theaters reenacting his favorite scenes from "Little Women" and "Steel Magnolias" for passersby. His ability to portray women was uncanny and landed him a role as Harriet Tubman in a local demonstration of The Underground Railroad. It was at a nearby reenactment of The Seneca Falls Convention where he met fellow members of Gentleman Caller, Emily Altman and Bridgid Ryan, who were portraying Harriet Beecher Stowe and Lucretia Mott, respectively. Together, they now serve on the Council Opposing the Blood Diamond Trade in South Africa (COBDTSA).

    Spending the first 13 years of his life on a small farm in Texas, Evan used to lie on his bedroom floor and daydream of moving to a big city where people frequently scream and honk their horns outside his bedroom well after midnight. Wishes come true and now he lives in the quaint little neighborhood of Hell's Kitchen - just a stones throw away from the Broadway theatres he is destined to headline. Evan likes puppies, apartment renovation, chocolate chip cookies, bacon, laughter, and compilation CDs.

    Kathy is pretty awesome. She does lots of stuff. Likes: dogs, fun. Dislikes: vomiting. If you ever heard someone yell, "Bagels forever!" it was probably Kathy. Bagels forever, everyone! She is from New York.

    Raised on the high plains of Alabama, Aaron high-tailed it out of there after the residents of a one-horse town accused him of griftin' away all their gold pieces. After settling in New York City, a town he'd heard tell of in salsa commercials, he turned over a new leaf and began writing and performing comedy. With each passing day he looks toward the horizon, expecting that sheriff to roll into town with a bullet in the chamber and a chip on his shoulder, but until that day comes, you can probably find Aaron whistlin' a happy tune and playing a video game. An Old West video game. Phew, motif intact.
