Jessica Barnes (she/her | the yellow one): From building houses out of bricks as a little pig to directing a chaos of flying monkeys, Jessica has always been a wild and whimsical force. After being crowned Queen of Faeries, she recently discovered a talent for smashing things with sledgehammers – watch out, world! Jessica is ecstatic to make her debut with Sundown and be part of a show that’s as unpredictable and delicious as a box of chocolates.

Julia Bodiford (she/her | the purple one) currently serves as the Co-Artistic Director for Sundown. She’s bopped around the metroplex doing various projects throughout the years. She most recently directed Sundown’s production of How I Learned To Drive and Theatre Denton’s production of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. She’s very proud of her invention of water-flavored jello and of her upcoming project: an RPG video game inspired by Stuart Little.

Kara Bruntz (she/her | producing member) had been doing theatre around DFW before she found her home with Sundown, where she currently serves as Secretary. Her most recent shows include Female Greek Chorus in How I Learned to Drive at Sundown, and stage managing Cat on a Hot Tin Roof at Theatre Denton. In the words of her roommate and friend, when asked to describe her: “My name is Kara. I do theatre. I’m really cool. You’ll like me too.”

Emily Chambers (she/they | light board operator) is trying their best.

Ryan Davila (he/him | co-director | the red one) was born August 19th 1988, to mother Dorinda and father Joe. He has been doing theatre since 05th grade. His first play was Peter Pan and he played a pirate. Ryan has served as Technical Director for Sundown Collaborative Theatre since he joined in 2017. He was first introduced to Sundown Collaborative Theatre when he played Big Stone in Eurydice by Sarah Ruhl. Since joining, Ryan has 1234567890 and is being s123456789012345 of working with 12345678 12 23452345456 in the areas of theatre and bioluminescent. Lighting up the sky with a silent moving Unidentified Flying Object. 

Ryan has also recently 11111111111 Do ing 111111 111111111 111 Not 1111111111111 Picking up 1111111 11111111 Play just adding the word Number but absolutely do not pick play number 23. 

Outside of Sundown, Ryan has been working on 111111111111111111111111 11111 1111 111111 111111111111111111  11111111111 111111111111111111 11111111111111111111 11111111111111111111111111111111111 111111111111 1111111111111111.                               

Do I make myself clear? Thank you for coming.

Carrissa Davis (she/her | sound board operator) is a theatre kid turned film student turned theatre kid. This is her first show with Sundown, but she has pressed similar, but different buttons, on similar, but different programs for Something Rotten, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, and Beauty and the Beast with Theatre Denton. Doing such a chaotic, unpredictable show will hopefully mellow out her perfectionist tendencies, and her imposter syndrome about even calling herself a “perfectionist”, because if she really were a perfectionist, she would be more perfect, right? Carrissa would like to thank her family for their support, and you, dear audience,
for coming.

Jacob Drum (he/him | the green one) The ever-elusive Jacob John Jingleheimer Smith Drum is rarely seen- only in the occasional Sundown show such as How I Learned To Drive, Short Works, Love Stories, She Kills Monsters; as well as blurry photos taken by wandering hikers. If spotted, approach slowly, as this species scares easily. The specimen performing for this show was captured humanely, after a traumatizing interaction with an old acquaintance in which he said something terribly embarrassing. He will be released back into the wild after rehabilitation. They have been known to use their long hair as a defense against predators, but will more often flee while screaming to avoid conflict. They can occasionally be spotted using their height to assist shorter species with tasks out of their reach.

Matthew Eitzen (he/him | the orange one) was born sometime in the early 90’s, though like all his other biographical details, this cannot be verified and must be taken with a grain of salt. His place of birth was either a coal mine near Bratislava, a hospital in Odessa, Texas, or a scientific exploration vessel off the coast of South Georgia Island. What is certain is that by the turn of the millennium he was living in the suburbs north of Dallas, and that he attended the University of Oklahoma’s School of Drama. Between the years 2015 and 2020, his whereabouts are unknown, though rumors persist that he worked as a custodian in the headquarters of the Confédération Général du Travail (CGT) for at least some of that time. Since 2015 he has been an actor and playwright in the DFW area while occasionally moonlighting as a bird fancier, specializing in grouses. He would like to thank his family for their unfailing support.

Lindsey Hall (she/her | co-director | the teal one) is a type A introvert who prefers the company of dogs over humans and yet has somehow been bamboozled by herself AND her friends to not only co-lead a theatre company but also to co-direct a show full of improv and unpredictable chaos. In fact, her co-director Ryan has done such a fine job bringing her over to the dark side that some of the things that change every single show are actually her fault. You’re welcome. And thank you for coming. 

Brandy Townsend (they/them | the pink one) is writing this bio against their will. They have always felt awkward about listing their past theatre exploits to be read by the audience of their current project; however, their sweet friend Lindsey assured them people would be interested in this information so Brandy now sits writing a bio. Brandy has been a member of Sundown for over three years now and has been seen in three Short Works festivals, Love Stories, and She Kills Monsters. They were backstage as the assistant director and voice of the black box in Girl in the Machine and as a stage manager for How I Learned to Drive. They are super excited to be a part of this cast and so glad you came to see this crazy fun show!!!
