SWM #604, this zesty Scorpio loves long walks on the beach and oh, look at the time... Critically acclaimed in the hit series "You’re going to get hit by lightning if you don’t get down from there" for his realistic depiction of a Meteorologist on the edge, Chad enjoys bucking popular opinion, surprising atheists and using his eccentricities to fuel the creative process. Raised by wolves, this Vermont native spends most of his time in the rivers and mountains, jumping from precipices with a parachute and performing various random acts of adrenalin. This has provided him with a host of outdoor accreditations and “Don’t ever do this” stories. His background in photography, wilderness education and Youth counseling, pared with music, electrical tech and Science, make him a creative addition to our writing/acting/production/prison staff. Act now and get a second slicer/shredder absolutely free! Don’t forget to ask about our Tuesday specials. (Don't worry, he never gets asked about the Tuesday specials.) |

Erin was a Mainer all her life, until Vermont beckoned her with the promise of a great education at St. Micheal’s College (still yet to be determined). Despite being deprived of the ocean, Erin decided to make Vermont her post college home. Aside from managing the LNS audience and being the ticketmaster, Erin works as a counselor for children and teens, and also volunteers as a child abuse prevention educator. Erin appreciates the beauty of the human mind and is unceasingly seeking deeper understandings- so her therapist tells her anyway. She also enjoys artistic expression in all its forms and strives to be surrounded by such. Erin is currently single and taking applications from qualified male candidates, pending a criminal review and cavity search. (Tim didn't pass, and Jamie never returned from the cavity search) |
