EDITH WEISS
Edith Wesis, third person, loves the play crawl. She loves the actors that work for the love of it. She loves writing short pieces to an environment. Her youth theater plays, children's plays, and comedic murder mysteries have been performed in small theaters, colleges, and schools almost everywhere. Okay not in Antarctica. But (switching to first person) I'm working on that. And I love you the audience for supporting And Toto too.

JEREMY ELMAN
Jeremy trained as a theatre director (Mountview Academy) in his native England and worked for a few years on the Fringe in London and Edinburgh mainly in new writing. He then moved into directing for TV, followed by starting his own successful social content production company. After an overly long break and a move from London to Denver, Jeremy is excited to get back into theater and become part of the Denver community. This will be the second time Jeremy has directed a play for the Play Crawl.
