ERICA BRAUER was born and raised in Portland Oregon, where she began acting at the age of 9. She soon realized that acting was her future career, when she was cast as the lead in a high school play when she was in the 6th grade! She studied theatre and biology at the University of Southern California, and continues living in LA to pursue her acting career. One day, Erica decided that it was very unfair to charge actors (who are already starving artists) dues every month to be in a production, so she founded Above The Curve Theatre with the help of Adrian Borden and Kelly O’leary. She has been in shows such as Dracula, Museum, and Two Noble Kinsmen, and has also directed and written one acts and full length plays such as Alice in Wonderland. She had her TV debut a year ago, on the CBS special A Heroes Welcome. She is looking forward to her next TV/film role.

L.A. Film Credits: Choir Student #5 in Garry Marshall’s “Georgia Rule,” Stand-In: Laurie in Rob Zombie’s “Halloween.” L.A.

HOLLIE MENDILLO is originally from Warwick, RI, which she considers to be the unknown but true center of the universe. She received her B.A. in Theatre Arts from Brown University, but her passion for theatre began much earlier and was cemented in high school, when Hollie auditioned at the local all-boys Catholic high school, hoping to gain valuable acting experience and find a boyfriend. She did both and it worked out pretty well–she married the boy she met during Godspell last winter and she is living happily in the land of warmth and sunshine pursuing her career in acting and directing.
