| Jordana Che Toback created the world of Poon during her 12 years as a Benedictine nun. Within the walls of the cloister, she would develop her love of costuming and structured mood. After failing to incorporate the elaborate hairstyles and primal choreography she envisioned within daily service, Jordana made the logical step to the New York stage. |

| Olivia Bramlett, known to most as "Bram", is the only performer to have actually auditioned for her role in Poon. In order to access certain grants, a genuine professional dancer needed to be on staff. The rest of the dancers have come to regard Bram as a fantastic oddity and bicker constantly over who will dress her, brush her hair or who gets her for naptime. |

| It is a little known fact that Dorian Cervantes is the inventor of the BBQ potato chip. It was a Memorial day grilling accident that left 3 in intensive care and Dorian in a 6 day coma. Within her fevered dreams the iconic snack food was born. Her now vast fortune has afforded Dorian the opportunity to travel with Poon. |

| Courtney Jo Drasner chose to direct her talents towards the arts after a 6 year tour on the Southeast Regional Ultimate Fighting Circuit under the name Scissor Thighs Sue. Dancing with Poon was the obvious choice because backhanding the dancers was encouraged. |

| As you may well be asking yourself, how does Jordana manage to corral all of these strange individuals into anything resembling a show. The answer is Lisa Lyons. One of the many excellent mercenary/fixer types for hire in the back of Quilter's Quarterly magazine, Lisa's services come with stellar references and a considerable price tag. Her range of experience has prepared her well for the backstabbing, substance abuse, divas, love-hexagons and light arms smuggling that are known here as Thursdays. |

| Faith Pilger was a gift from Vincent Gallo for Jordana's 28th birthday. While she doesn't speak and no one is quite sure of where she came from, Mr. Gallo was right: she goes very well with the furniture and smells pleasantly of cinnamon. |

|
| Bronwyn Robinette found herself a member of Poon after being rescued from a Chinese Ipod factory by the Worker's Liberation Guild. After becoming seperated from her tour group while on a 10 day cruise, she was mistaken for worker #7251 and forcably placed on the ear bud assembly line for the next three years. She will be with Poon as a performer until her relatives can be found and contacted. |

| Those of you who follow the BDSM world will be familiar with Mistress Marissa and her unorthodox work. Within her dungeon in Staten Island, Mistress Marissa has created a fully immersive world of submission and pain. With the use of elaborate sets and extras, the client can choose from a variety of tortures, including: Greyhound Bus to Atlantic City, Mandatory Corporate Self Esteem Seminar, and Teaching Grandma to Email. |

|
| Laura Smith joins Poon as part of her work release program with Bedford Hills New Jersey Women's Penetentary. While we are proud of Lara's contributions as a talanted performer, we please ask that the audience refrain from approaching her unsupervised. Due to an unfortunate incident in the past, we also ask that you not offer her matches or any form of lighter, they are not for her cigarettes. |

|
| Princess Alexandra joined Poon during a winter tour stop in St. Petersburg. After attending several of the performances, Alexandra realized that dancing with Poon would afford her the best chance of fulfilling her desires to kill herself. The entire cast has been tasked with inventing new ways to incorporate her attempts into the show. So far we have tried 87 times, with Dorian coming the closest. Unfortunately, Princess Alexandra is made of truly hardy stuff. |
|
|
| "Julie Van Dorn" does not actually exist. She is the imaginary creation of the band, who wanted a female around that didn't overtly frighten them. Jordana was so impressed with the limitless possibilities of her personality, that she is now working to fashion an entire troupe of imaginary dancers for her new show Toosh. |
