Adrene Wong
Actor (2005-2006)
Adrene humbly considers herself a "jack of all trades but master of none" when it comes to the arts; she sings, dances, plays instruments, conducts, and of course, acts! She is also a music teacher by profession. Her slim figure belies her love for food, which has earned her the nickname of "bottomless pit" by some of her friends. Her eyes sparkle at the suggestion of sushi, or her current favourite, fried squid at SS2. She also loves watching movies - especially comedies. One of her many dreams is to be able to travel around the world. Adrene's home church is Assembly of Christians, Old Klang Road. |

(Talk about commitment! :) He also loves Korea and anything Korean, and hopes to one day be able to live in Korea and speak the language.

Jonathan Tan
Director (2004-2006), actor (2001-2004, 2006)
Jon recently graduated in management and marketing from Metropolitan College, Subang Jaya and is now learning the ropes in a leading global communications consultancy. His passion for the arts goes beyond theatre to include music; he plays guitar and bass in his church's worship band. Jon is also crazy about sports - football and badminton in particular - though nagging knee injuries have taken a toll on him. A self-confessed food lover, he claims to eat "anything". His dark skin is attributed to Thai blood some generations back, which reputedly includes one particularly scary gun-totin' female ancestor! :) Jon's home church is Subang Jaya Gospel Centre, Subang Jaya. |

Geraldine Teoh
Actor (2001-2004, 2006), director (2002-2004)
Geraldine (or Geri as called by her friends) is a lawyer by profession. In an environment where lawyers are often viewed as "sharks", she is committed to presenting an alternative image of lawyers, one shaped by her Christian values and ethics - a pretty tall order, she says, but nothing is impossible with the grace of God! She has a penchant for travelling (time permitting) and good food (if combined, even better!). Next destination: Angkor Wat, Cambodia. Her dreams are to someday open a café-cum-bookshop and to write a book. Geri's home church is Subang Jaya Gospel Centre. |

Desmond Teoh
Actor (2006), sound manager (2005-2006)
A graduate of Charles Sturt University, Australia in marketing and business studies, Desmond works in an international bank as an operations and business manager. After a year of manning sound for Footstool Players, Desmond is now stepping out to be on stage, although it is not his first attempt at acting. Passionate about music, he was once a leader of a band called Askago (which has since disbanded because all the band members "grew up"! :)). He has a particular penchant for "porky products", especially bak kut teh and siew yuk. Desmond's home church is Subang Jaya Gospel Centre. |

Siaw Mei Li
Actor (2006)
Mei Li graduated with a B.A. in English Lit from Connecticut College, USA but her degree was really an excuse to spend four splendid years sampling everything from sociolinguistics to Indian public transportation and tying saris. In 2004, she came home to rediscover Malaysia and catch up with her loved ones. These days, she works in advertising, occasionally torments her church youth members with marketing research questionnaires, and fancies herself a connoisseur of instant noodles from all over the world. She dreams of teaching English in Latin America while learning Spanish and salsa from her students. Mei Li's home church is Cornerstone Doulos Church, Bandar Sunway. |

Wong Mun Wai
Actor (2006)
Mun Wai has a degree in IT and currently works for a local bank in Kuala Lumpur. He describes himself as "akin to a rolling stone in search of his moss". (Go figure! :)) His penchant for food keeps him busy foraging for his next meals. He is always game for new experiences though not overly enthusiastic for any prolonged activity that smacks of work. Mun Wai's home church is Petaling Jaya Gospel Hall, Petaling Jaya. |
