DAVE played by Justin Bondesen. Justin has been many things in his short years on this planet; a camp counselor, a gardener, a member of a ska band, a wildlife ecologist, a teacher, a radical mycologist, and allegedly, a decent cook. This is his first ever musical, or dramatic role of any kind really, aside from summer camp campfires and some really stupid videos he made in high school. He is very excited, and hopes you are too. In his free time, Justin likes growing food, playing music, hiking mountains, and confronting the anthropocentrism and materialism that he believes are the sources of our collective suffering.

MASSHOLE played by Jason Iannone . Since getting bit by the acting bug in early 2018, Jason has done plenty of thises, thats, and the other things. But he's never done a musical until now. Don't worry, his voice has never been proven to shatter glass (other people did that, probably). He has played Malcolm in Macbeth, Paul in Barefoot in the Park, Talman in Wait Until Dark, and every character except the Governess in a two-person production of Turn of the Screw, among many other roles. He can also be seen for about 15 seconds in the opening scene of season 2, episode 7 of Castle Rock. He plays a starving French peasant who may or may not have joined a Satanic cult after the hunger pangs told him to.When not pursuing offbeat acting shenanigans, Jason is a loving husband, father, stepfather, and unemployment giver-outer for the Department of Labor. Once the world completely opens up again, he plans to become a full-time sauna enthusiast."
