All In Your Mind

RUBY McKEEVER (she/her) (Stage Manager) talks a lot about her cat Bonnie, who lives in Michigan. This is the fourth production she has stage managed and the first at Oberlin. She currently serves on the OMTA board and studies Jazz Composition and Creative Writing. She also does other things, presumably. She wants to thank her mom, Aunt Jacks, and her nerdy theatre friends. Love to the cast and crew. Hate to anyone who doesn’t respond to her emails in a timely fashion.

EVELYN WALKER (she/her) (Theresa) is thrilled to be playing Theresa in "All in Your Mind"! She is a second-year theater and musical studies major. She played Amanda in "The World is Only Magic" last year, and has served as dramaturg for "My Dead Boyfriend is a Robot" and "Calypso". Evelyn would like to send thanks and love to the whole cast and crew, and to Mabel the dorm cat for her emotional support throughout the spring semester. Enjoy the show!

RACHEL WILSON (she/her) (Pat) can't believe she's finally in one of these musical plays she's been hearing so much about! Haha just kidding, that was just a little joke for you. Rachel knows what a musical is, and she's so so psyched to be in this amazing original production. She's a second year Theater/English double major and French minor from the magical land of rural Pennsylvania. She has previously performed in other smash hit OMTA productions like The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee and The World is Only Magic and has been doing theater since she was itty bitty. When she's not in musical plays, Rachel also has a blast doing improv with the lovely Sunshine Scouts! She would like to thank the wonderful All In Your Mind cast, crew and pit for being such a joy to work with, and hopes you enjoy the show!

CONRAD BRANCH (he/him) (Paul) is from Denver, Colorado and has been writing and performing in plays since he was a small little boy.

ZEPH SAMDPERIL (any) (Bohort) is oh so very excited to be in this production! This is their first time acting in a show at Oberlin! Wowee! Gee willikers! Maybe this is your first time watching a show at Oberlin. That would be pretty silly. In their free time, they like to write and play games. Maybe you also like to play games. If you do, here’s a game: find all four places where the name “Zeph Samdperil” appears in this program, including this bio. If you’re here with friends, race them to see who can find the name fastest. If you’re here alone, turn to your neighbor, introduce yourself, and see who can find the name the fastest.

REYNA BERRY (she/her) (Katie/Ensemble) has never swallowed a brain-draining, energy-sharing, scary AI nanorobot crafted by evil hands—but through the power of acting tonight, she just might…! You may have caught Reyna as Sophronia/Lexi in Oberlin’s production of Ancestra this February. Her voice will also be featured in a collage performance held for one day only at the Allen Memorial Art Museum. The performance was put together as part of a Day of Connection on April 13th, in honor of the museum’s new exhibit, “The Body, The Host.” As a first year student, Reyna is excited to continue working on productions, both on and off the stage. Thank you to the lovely All In Your Mind cast and crew!!

Enjoy the show!

IAN TAYLOR (any) (Salesman/Man/Ensemble) is from Ann Arbor, Michigan. They gained notoriety through their portrayal of the dad of the guitarist kid in school of rock. Ian can do cool tricks and flips but just doesn’t do any in this show. Ian is working on something really big right now, they just need more time. Then you’ll see. You’ll all see.

ZEALIN GLICKRIEMAN (Cello) successfully plays the cello, and less successfully plays several other instruments. She's played music for about 17 years, and she continues to do so both because she wants to and because it's an incredibly effective procrastination technique. She's a fourth year majoring in anthropology and politics, with a linguistics minor, and spends the vast majority of her time either thinking about or playing the card game Magic: the Gathering. She doesn't really know what else to put in this bio, but she's open to suggestions.
