Sarah Fennig, while performing for a while now, is happy to be able to call the M.U.T.E.S. her first real acting experience. You may previously have seen her, and still can (hint, hint) appear as Columbia as part of the "Sensual Daydreams" Rocky Horror Picture Show shadow cast. She also was a member of the Warped Cast, a sister shadow cast, where she appeared as Charlie from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and Yvette from Clue. Sarah is also proud to announce that she has just accepted a role in a production of Farenheit 451, being directed by local actor and musician, David Kaye.
Sarah graduated from UW-Milwaukee in 2008 with a degree in anthropology, and is currently completing her certification in dental hygiene at WCTC. She hopes to go on to dental school and eventually be trained in forensic odontology.

Ryan H. Nelson Having made a pretty decent name for himself around Milwaukee, Racine, Kenosha, Antioch, and Peoria for his theatrical and film endeavors (such productions as "The Gamester", "Deathtrap", "Words Of The Prophet", and "When In Rome, WI"), Ry-Guy's main claim to fame for the last 9 years has been as a voice actor online; using nothing but his voice, he's entertained people in such projects as "Act It!", "SWAT", "The Undercurrent", and "Superman: The Last Son Of Krypton". Tonight, he's going to take a shot at the exact opposite, using EVERYTHING BUT his voice to tell stories as only The M.U.T.E.S. can.
