James [Father Mulcahy] has already staged-managed two productions for Stage 43 (A Bench In the Sun and The Ladies Foursome), but this production marks his debut as a performer. It's no exaggeration to say James got into the theatre by accident less than two years ago. He can most often be seen at Vancouver Co-op Radio, where he currently produces and hosts three shows: Redeye (Vancouver's longest-running current affairs radio show, now into its 42nd year); The Arts Rational (all things artsy in the city); and Why a Duck? (Jazz and Classical music with an irreverent twist).

Hey, you found me! If you are reading this, you are either Bored, Lost, Confused or a Casting Director. If you are Bored, might I recommend Kongregate.com. If you are lost, go find one of your grandchildren to help you, that's what they're here for. If you're Confused, you've seen me in shows like Faulty Towers, Bare Bare Bones or Mama Won't Fly. If you're casting……I will only do a reading if I get a limo there and back and dressing rooms must be filled with cupcakes.
Isaiah has been poking around the backstage for awhile now and boy howdy, he is pleased as punch to take the stage for a spin!

She'd like to thank everyone involved with this production for making this an amazing experience, and is looking forward to more like this.
