About The 2017-18 Cast

AMBER Amber Pierdinock hails from the great state of New Jersey, where her improv journey began. She was a player, and later director, of Stockton University's Theatre Club's monthly improv shows. Since moving to DC, she has performed in several festivals across the District. You can see Amber perform with Cloaking Device on Mondays at IMPROV WARS!	ANDY Andy Braden is of hearty, Hoosier, midwestern stock, growing up and attending school in Indiana. He performed for four year's with Indiana University's Awkward Silence Comedy and graduated with an MPA in 2017. That means he is new in town! (and seeking restaurant guidance) He performs with Laugh Index Theatre's Cloaking Device on Mondays at IMPROV WARS.	BRIAN Brian Petriello is originally from Scranton, PA. His skills are identifying great "that's what she saids" and having two different color eyes. You can see him perform with Cloaking Device Monday nights at IMPROV WARS.
BRUNO Bruno Falcon was born and raised inside the beltway; please don’t hold it against him. His improv journey began inauspiciously in 2015, as if just growing up in DC wasn’t enough. Bruno hosts a weekly podcast about talking to anyone, about anything, called Applying To Everything. He will tell you all of this, and any other inane facts he thinks of, without prompting. He performs with Cloaking Device on Monday nights at IMPROV WARS.	DARA Dara Boxer is passionate that people should stop using the word passionate in their bios. Dara’s career choice was inspired by a Disney movie. No, she isn’t a mermaid. (She hasn’t found anyone to pay her for that yet.) She’s a personal chef. You know, Remi? From Ratatouille? Dara loves crime novels, and her husband is starting to become a little bit wary of all the books she reads about planning the perfect murder. Dara loves capsule wardrobes, pink nail polish, and If she’s not in a kitchen or	EMILY Emily Massaro is in her second season with Cloaking Device, and she is the giggliest DC transplant. When not on the hunt for a good plate of nachos, you can find her clowning around in Dupont Circle or performing improv with Cloaking Device at LIT's IMPROV WARS.
FINN Finn Mehigan is a recent graduate of the University of Virginia, where, in addition to studying Latin and Greek, he first learned improv with the Charlottesville theater's Big Blue Door. He is excited to be performing with LIT's Cloaking Device at IMPROV WARS.	MARIA Maria Gahan moved to DC in 2010 from the Midwest and still gets excited when she meets a fellow Midwesterner in the city who is equally as obsessed with Ranch dressing. She fell in love with improv during a free improv workshop several years ago and has never looked back. You can see her perform at Laugh Index Theater with Cloaking Device at IMPROV WARS on Monday nights.	SHEENA Sheena caught the acting bug early; staring in her first play at age 5. Now she is super excited to be improvising in DC on Monday nights at IMPROVWARS with Cloaking Device. When not performing improv, you can find Sheena bragging about how she can eat spicier food than anyone you know.
