Danielle May
Margie; Cocktail Waitress
Danielle doesn’t usually do this kind of thing - well, not exactly this kind of thing. When it comes to theatre, she is more at home in the pit orchestra, where she has spent plenty of time for college performances of Jekyll and Hyde, West Side Story, and Into the Woods. Her musical exploits further include formerly playing in the Quincy Park Band and Clarinet Choir in Quincy, Illinois, and singing in the University of Notre Dame Liturgical Choir, and currently performing as a musician and bard in the Society for Creative Anachronism. Danielle recently joined the Intervision family as hostess for Scintillating Stories Live. She also voices characters on both the Scintillating Stories podcast and the Popular Person Problems podcast. Danielle would like to thank you, the patrons of Lou Atwater’s Club Royale, for coming to this fine establishment tonight to immerse yourselves in this vision.
Gia La Dolce
Maddeline Ball
Gia is a lifelong performer, having taken dance lessons and performed on stage from an early age. She often performed skits for family with her sisters, and later on was an active member of the drama club in high school. She teamed up with her old theater friends to put on The Fantasticks in 2010. A lover of all things vintage, especially the 1940s, she started singing jazz in her early twenties. She began modeling for a local pinup company, Temptress Fashion in 2011 and soon after became involved in the San Diego Burlesque community. As a troupe leader for The Bawdy Show, she produces and performs as well. A real triple threat of vintage proportions
