Mark Chalfant has been improvising with Washington Improv Theater since 1997, when he helped to re-found the company. Mark has served as WIT's artistic & executive director since 2003. Mark took the SpeakeasyDC stage once with a story about his former life in Russia, but he's much more comfortable with stories of the improvised variety. He has a special passion for the intersection of improvisation and storytelling that he has explored through directing WIT's Fringe show "Lore" last summer, teaching elective classes on collaborative improvised storytelling, and other projects.

Molly Murchie has been improvising since 2001 when she began training with Washington Improv Theater. Since then, she has performed as a founding member of WIT ensemble Jackie, as co-creator and director of Washington Improv Radio Theater and Bitchwood, and with the DC Neutrino Video Project, Dr. Fantastic, and in several award-winning 48 Hour Film Projects with the team onesixtyone. She also has dabbled in storytelling with Speakeasy DC and Perfect Liars' Club. Last summer, she made a return to non-improvisational theater in H Street Housewives at the Fringe Festival. And to answer your questions: September 18, a girl, yes just one.

Brianna Lux didn't have the attention span for story time when she was a kid, probably because she would grow up to learn that she much prefers to perform improvised stories. Brianna is an ensemble member of Washington Improv Theater's house team Nox! and is a founding member of indie improv troupes Aboulia! and Sweater Kittens. She had the honor of exploring story-telling through improv as a part of WIT's 2013 Capital Fringe Festival show, Lore. Brianna is also a board member for District Improv, which brings the annual District Improv Festival to DC.

Sam Bonar's mind is infiltrated by glimpses of countless, untold stories and he can’t seem to get them out. He’s tried Dr. Seuss, mixed media drawings, growing tomatoes, building a dining room table, wearing masks, doing somersaults in the pool, cleaning the fridge, and even writing short ones (stories). He's hoping making fun of others' stories will help him express his own. He’s been screwing around onstage (improv) for 6 years now, most recently in WIT’s Harold ensemble Love Onion and indie groups Huggy Spreadums and Jazz Panther.

Catherine Deadman is a longtime admirer of all things Speakeasy and is thrilled to be partnering with them for Unraveled.  She is a WIT training program alum and performs improv regularly with iMusical, the two person show We Should Talk, and in the upcoming all women project, The October Issue.  Catherine graduated from the Studio Theater Acting Conservatory and, from time to time, can also be seen doing scripted theater around town.  She hereby pledges that she will write and tell a story about her experiences with orangutans.
