Artistic Director: Will Crouse
School of Communications 2011, Theatre and English

Will Crouse likes to spend his afternoons contemplating the world while standing next to trees. He likes plays, especially those by William Shakespeare and the three Greek tragedians we have material from (only three — crazy right!) He also enjoys drumming, swimming, and long walks on the beach. When not taking power naps he can be found doing actorly/directorly things. He also acts, directs, plays drums in "The Earth is a Man," and most importantly helps out L&M's lovely directors! Oh, and he loves his roommate of three years, James Graham. 

Secret Talent: Founder of the Will Crouse School of Acting

Production Manager: Colton Dillion
School of Communications 2012, Theatre; McCormick School of Engineering 2013, ES-APPM

A Theatre/Engineering double-major and an avid fan of surfing, Colonel Colton Austin Dillion aka "Sixer" aka "Il Corsaro" is basically the craziest motherfucker in the whole university. He volunteered for commando duty, not actually knowing what it entailed, but knowing that it sounded dangerous, and therefore fun. Colt .45 carries a fucking claymore. And he uses it, too. He is credited with capturing a total of 42 Germans and a mortar squad in the middle of the night, using only his sword.

Secret Talent: TIME "Person of the Year" 2006

Business Manager: Christopher Herr
School of Communications 2014

Christopher found that as much as he loved manual labor last year, he wanted to add working with numbers to his skill set. An up and coming Theatre and Economics major from a tiny town in Western Massachusets (yes, Massachusets is more than just Boston), Christopher spends his time juggling class and extracurriculars. When not dashing from SOFO to Shanley, he can be found on the lacrosse field, hanging out in the rehearal room with Asterik, or fratting hard.  Many thanks to Shakespeare and all those Greek dudes without whom most all of our season would not be possible.

Secret Talent: Is actually a secret military prototype supersoldier

Publicity Director: Anakin Morris
School of Communications 2011, Performance Studies and Religion

Anakin believes in Shakespeare as a potential, and as a starting point for great theatre.  That is, he doesn't particularly like it as is.  However he gets bored easily and is attracted by the possibility having of four intermissions.  For L&M, his job is mostly bad puns, facebook stalking, general photoshoppery, getting high on Sharpie fumes and hording all the masking tape.

Secret Talent: Has really serious katana skills

Development Director: Luis Pineiro
School of Communications 2013

In in nulla orci, vitae fermentum quam. Duis accumsan tempus facilisis. Nam consectetur felis dui. Cum sociis natoque penatibus et magnis dis parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus. Vivamus tempor, eros sit amet suscipit egestas, mi diam mollis nunc, sit amet luctus augue metus et quam. Integer eleifend pulvinar tellus et suscipit. Nam diam lorem, gravida ac porta ac, ultricies ac lacus. Mauris eget neque massa. In tortor dolor, commodo sit.

Secret Talent: Latinam habet

Special Events Director: Ashley Thompson
School of Communications 2013, Theatre

Ashley Thompson is a beautiful, wonderful, incredible and amazing born-to-be housewife. Born and raised in Texas, she says y'all whenever is is appropriate. If she had not come to Northwestern she would have competed to become Miss Texas 2010. Had she entered the competition, she probably would have won, due to her incredible charisma, intelligence, and talent, which combine in one individual in a Biblica, awe-inspiring way.

Secret Talent: Harbinger of superbabies

Technical Director: Ady Dunk
School of Communications 2014, Theatre; McCormick School of Engineering, Engineering

Ady Dunk is a scientifically trained but theatrically minded freshman hailing from outside Boston, where she began performing, directing, and designing in high school. Now far from small-town Massachusetts, Ady has tech-directed Eurydice, The Altruists, and Soup for Beast and has set-designed Thesmophorizusae as her formative first design at Northwestern. She aspires to set-design professionally after graduation, engineering for the stage in order to massively under-utilize her McCormick degree.

Secret Talent: Can correctly pronounce "ahrange"

Technical Director: Alex Moe
Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences 2012, Philosophy and Italian

Alex spends more time involved with theatre than a non-theatre major has a right to. His autumns are consumed by NUMB, the finest band in the whole damn land, and the rest of the year is usually spent recovering. Worthy of note is the fact that his hair spontaneously changes colour. He spends his time on L&M acting as sysop and secretary pro tem.

Secret Talent: Can compose in dactylic hexameter

Inventory Manager: Jeff Sachs
School of Communications 2013, Theatre and Psychology

Jeff sleeps with Shakespeare. He learned that you had to sleep your way to the top at a young age, so he figured he would sleep with the writer of every play ever. When not sleeping with Shakespeare, he is often set designing, acting, and directing. His philosophy on life best be summed up as “Shit happens when you party naked.”

Secret Talent: Earns money on the side as a professional badass

Stage Management Chair: Shannon Desmond
School of Communications 2013, Theatre

Shannon is best known for being the nerdiest freshman on the Northwestern Class of 2013 Facebook page. Her inquiries as to Greek translations proved to the world that she was born to be a Lover and a Madman. When she's not assisting Stage Managers and doing other theatre-related things she can be found wearing scarves and riding her yellow bicycle.

Secret Talent: Has experience equivalent to certification in hair styling
