It's time! Curious Accidents & Unintended Consequences opens tomorrow, May 12th! The cast includes 4 adults and two seniors from Research Triangle High School.

Want to know what the cast of Curious Accidents & Unintended Consequences hope you experience at these shows? Watch the video below to find out! 

"There's so much competition for our eyeballs these days and seeing something live is becoming more and more rare. It's something that artists are fighting for -- to bring people back together in one group. To witness something as a collective is a big deal. You cannot replace  the experience of being in the same room, breathing the same air, as something is happening right now, for the first time." -- J Chachula, Director, Curious Accidents & Unintended Consequences

Curious Accidents & Unintended Consequences: The Cast

We thought we'd get creative with our cast photos by experimenting with double exposures. It seemed appropriate because back in the day when people took photos with film, a double exposure occurred as a curious accident and an unintended consequence--often producing a more magical outcome than a planned photo.

Thaddaeus Edwards has performed in the Triangle over the past 15 years but this is his first time tackling improv. Past performances include The Best of Enemies, Spirits to Enforce, Middletown, The Brothers Size (Manbites Dog); Our Town, Celebration, Jade City Chronicles, Vol 1 (Little Green Pig); and The Parchman Hour (Cape Fear Regional Theatre). He would like to thank Martha Wayne for her unwavering companionship.

Brian Yandle is a local Raleigh actor, director and producer and is co-founder of ABigWigProduction. He was recognized in IndyWeek as one of the best directors in 2013.  He has performed in film and live theatre all over the country for 25+ years and was most recently seen in All My Sons at Theatre Raleigh and Almost, Maine at Theatre in the Park.  He hasn't performed as an improvisor since the early 2000s with Bay Area Theatre Sports in San Francisco, unless you count improvising thrills, joy and delight each week day as a corporate monkey.  Improv is embracing failure and dancing in discovery.  Let's do this.

Helen Bowen is a senior from Research Triangle High School who has done theatre for the last four years.  Most recently, she performed as Kate Keller in All My Sons and the First Witch in Macbeth.  This summer, she'll be studying international business in Germany before going to Western Carolina University to study law and theatre.

Duncan McGregor is a senior at Research Triangle High School. He is a member of the school's improv team.

Page Purgar has performed in Uncle Vanya, Good People (Deep Dish); Blithe Spirit (Raleigh Little Theater); Fuddy Meers, Almost, Maine (Theater in the Park); Proof (Exit Through Eden); Kindertransport (Big Wig), and  The Pride (Mortall Coile). Love to Steve and Marleigh.

Elysha Nichols received her BA in Drama and Literature from Washington University in St. Louis, MO.  After a few years exploring the southwest, she moved to Nashville, TN and continued her training in the Meisner Technique with Actors Bridge Theatre Company.  She performed with Actors Bridge and was also a member of the improv troupe One Hand Clapping.   
​
Professionally, Elysha has had a career as a Learning Specialist in a variety of settings working with elementary through community college age students.  She uses her background in theatre to engage students in creative ways to break down learning barriers, whether they are a first grader struggling  to learn the alphabet, a sophomore navigating through Algebra II in a high school for recovering addicts, or a sixty-two year old former New York school bus driver with a fourth grade education determined to get a GED.​

Elysha works at Wake Tech Community College in the College and Career Readiness Program.  She lives in Raleigh with her husband Dan, daughter Ava, and Aussiepoo Maizy

J Chachula is the director of Curious Accidents & Unintended Consequences. He co-founded The Flying Machine Theatre Company with Marta King in 1999 and is a teacher, actor, and director. He is a graduate of The American Academy of Dramatic Arts and studied improvisation with Transactors Improv Company. He spent two years touring with the group before leaving to explore the intersection between improvisation and traditional acting.

J has 25 years experience working with the corporate world, acting in industrial videos and using live role-play and improvisation exercises to train companies in more effective communication.

We hope you'll join us for Curious Accidents & Unintended Consequences.

You've never seen it before. And you'll never see it again.
