 JEFFREY HOFFMAN (Bob Hull) is now and has been (for the past ten years) acting in the Bay Area. Recently, he was in theatre Q’s Lips Together Teeth Apart directed by Rebecca Longworth, and Crish Barth’s Reading With Friends directed by Paul Cello. This year Jeffrey worked on staged readings of exciting new plays – Pat Milton’s Believers and Robin Lynn Rodriguez’s Hedge. Jeffrey is thankful for the love and support of his parents and his glistening turnip, Don. |
 STEVE SALZMAN (Harry Hay) is making his NCTC debut. He trained at American Repertory Theatre, Berkeley Rep., and holds a BA in Drama from University of Texas, and MFA in Playwriting from SF State. Bay Area shows include: Beardo (Shotgun Players), Connecticut Yankee (Pear Avenue), SF Stories (Wiley West). Memberships include the Magic Theatre’s emerging artist lab (2008-2011), the Dramatist Guild and Austin ScriptWorks. |
The NCTC On Stage Insight series brings the director and cast of the show back to the stage after the performance to discuss the play and take questions from the audience. The Temperamentals On Stage Insight Series will be offering a variety of speakers and multiple opportunities to engage with the actors, director, and individuals who lived through this unique time in history. All are welcome. 
SETH THYGESEN (Dale Jennings) is excited to be returning to New Conservatory’s stage after his debut in A Perfect Ganesh. This will be his 16th professional production in the Bay Area after having worked at Impact, Boxcar, and The Willows. Though his nights are filled with theatre, by day he toils for a SOMA based videogame company. He auditioned for this show not ten minutes after his little sister came out to him, and he couldn’t be more proud of her.
