Dana Hunt has been performing with Left Edge Theatre since 2023 in shows such as Avenue Q, Bootycandy, Fully Committed, Everybody, and Airness. He has also stepped into the director’s chair for The Shark Is Broken, and can be found performing in The All-Star Improv Showdown at The California. 

Tajai Jaxon Britten (He/Him) lives for the experience of storytelling. He loves having the
opportunity to perform in works written by underrepresented or marginalized groups, especially
those of minorities, women, People of Color, and the LGBTQIA+ community. He laughs that he
prefers his Santa Rosa Junior College Acting Certificate (2024) over his University of California,
Berkeley Bachelor’s in Biology (2013). His favorite roles include Sutter in Bootycandy (Left
Edge Theatre) and Zach in A Chorus Line (6th Street Playhouse).

Lacie Oakley-McCarter (She/Her) is an actor/writer who was bitten by the acting bug in
Kindergarten and has never recovered. She spent her youth performing with S.P.A.C.E. and the
Ukiah Players Theater until she moved to Los Angeles for a year-long intensive acting program
at the New York Film Academy in Los Angeles. Her favorite role remains beating out all the
boys to play Bottom the Weaver in a high school production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream and
her favorite plays are Noises Off and Fiddler on the Roof. She has performed locally with Evil
Comedy Improv and competed in a few Film Sprint competitions. She is usually found reading,
writing, and cuddling her kids and dogs, especially her terrier mix, Sir Arfred Hitchcock.

Jess Rodgers (He/Him) is thrilled to be making his Left Edge Theatre debut! Jess has been
performing around the Bay Area since returning from Southern California where he got his
degree in Theatre from California State University of Fullerton. You may have seen him in Six
Degrees of Separation (Sonoma Arts Live) or as Christian in Cyrano (Berkeley Shakespeare
Company). He hopes you enjoy this play about what happens when partners stop listening to
each other.

Jonathen Blue (He/They) is excitedly returning to the Left Edge stage. He is an NBBJ Forty
Under 40 recipient and a 2024 Profiles Person of the Year. He appeared on this stage in
productions including [title of show] and Bootycandy (Left Edge Theatre) and around the North
Bay in productions including Kinky Boots (6th Street Playhouse) and Six Degrees of
Separation (Sonoma Arts Live). Blue also directs, choreographs, and designs hair and makeup
for productions across the Bay Area.

Lindsay John (She/Her) has been performing and stage managing across Sonoma and Marin
county for years. Last year she performed or managed five shows in a row and is now back ready
to play! She's always grateful and honored to perform in a Left Edge Theatre production and
hopes you all will walk away a little more insightful.

Serena Elize Flores is the Artistic Director of Left Edge Theatre and is an award-winning
actress, director, choreographer, and costume designer. She was recently seen as Norma in Hands
on a Hardbody (Spreckels Theatre Company), Kathy in The Last Quiz Night on Earth (Left Edge
Theatre), and Titania in A Midsummer Night’s Dream (Spreckels Theatre Company). Other
performance credits include Dionne in Hair, Morticia in The Addams Family, The Acid Queen
in The Who’s Tommy, Marianne Angelle in The Revolutionists, and Ronnette in Little Shop of
Horrors.
