Musical theater and improv are like chocolate and peanut-butter for Mark Chalfant. Combine them and he will eat them all. He's delighted to have been involved with iMusical since Travis Ploeger began the project in the summer of 2006, and he's thrilled the show allows him to play with fantastic improvisers from ComedySportz and the DC Improv. He thanks the phenomenal Barbara Scott and Joshua Brody of Bay Area Theatresports, whose inspiring workshops years ago sparked his love for musical improv. Mark helped re-found WIT in 1997 and has served as the company's artistic director since 2003.

Liz Demery has been improvising since 1993, and is excited to return to perform with iMusical. Liz has been seen with numerous theatre companies in the DC area such as The Keegan Theatre, American Century Theatre, BAPA's Imagination Stage, Shakespeare's Skum and singing with The O'Danny Girls. She can be found most weekends at The Comedy Spot of Arlington, VA in ComedySportz and The Blue Show where she is also the Artistic Director.

Karen Lange likes to pretend. She started improvising after her friends staged an intervention and sent her to classes. She has been active in the DC improv scene for several years, performing with iMusical, POTUS Among Us, Seasonal Disorder, and ComedySportz. Recent scripted roles include Maggie in Life with Father at American Century Theater, Martha in Unintended Consequences as part of the DC Fringe Festival, Bunny in House of Blue Leaves, and Janie in Wonder of the World. Karen's most recent film, The Bad News Bearer, which she co-wrote, won a script award and the Best Picture prize at the DC 48-Hour film festival in 2008. Karen is a graduate of the Studio Theater Conservatory. She teaches improvisation and musical improvisation at WIT.

Improv first infected Richie Pepio in his teenage years when he was cast in SOFA at Potomac Falls High School. After recently graduating with a BFA in Theatre Arts from Hofstra University and directing a production of Pierre Corneille’s Le Cid Off-Off Broadway, he’s now more cultured, more refined, and, like a full bodied wine, only gets better with age. A student of the UCB Theatre, Richie helped start Hofstra’s first official improv group Tequila Mockingbird, has performed with Loudoun’s Off The Cuff and Victorious Secret, and is ready to take on the beast that is musical improv!

Travis Ploeger (Director, Accompanist) moved to the DC area in 2006, after an eight-year career as the musical director for Chicago City Limits, the longest-running comedy revue in New York City. He was also the co-creator of I Eat Pandas, the two-woman musical improv group that continues to play for standing ovations wherever they perform. A graduate of the Hartt School of Music (University of Hartford), he also teaches workshops and classes in song improvisation, and has helped to create and perform over 1,500 improvised musicals in front of live audiences all across the country. His "legitimate" theater credits include stints at The Great American Melodrama and Vaudeville (CA) and the Forestburgh Playhouse (NY), where he once music directed Loretta "Hot Lips Houlihan" Switt in The Apple Tree. He has also written several musicals for their children's theater series. He is an avid fan of the Washington Nationals, as well as a season ticket owner for the Minnesota Vikings.  He lives in Silver Spring with his dreamgirl wife, Melissa, and their bouncing baby boy Benjamin.  More info about Travis here.

Natalie Pyle has studied improv for several years in acting classes at the North East School of the Arts, in San Antonio, Texas, and at the London Dramatic Academy in, well … London. Natalie is a graduate of The Catholic University of America with a Bachelor of Music in Music Theatre, where she was also a member of Impulse Control, a lively improv troupe of clever and wacky students. She is excited to be performing alongside such talented artists as she continues to discover the DC theatre scene.

Randa Tawil started improvising in college when a random student bet her she couldn’t do it. Once she started, she couldn’t stop. At Wesleyan University, she performed with Gag Reflex, a long form improv troupe, and she is excited to be part of imusical here in DC. When not improvising, Randa enjoys acting in other forms of theater, watching movies, and reading history books.
