The Cast
Likes to design things. Found time in his busy schedule of frolicking in the forest and watching old movies to work on this very cool project. Sophomore at UC Berkeley, majoring in Film and Political Science and minoring in angst. Enjoys writing love poems, dystopian novels, and feminist essays on Hollywood icons. Would probably be the first to die if he were a STINKJAW character.

Sammy Boothe - Redford Wickest
Lover, fighter,
friend, writer.
Hi there! I am the actor for Redford, and I am so excited to be a part of this project for my first time acting- ever!! I am a second year studying Psychology and Health/Wellness here at UC Berkeley. I get up to lots of fun adventures, including sword fighting, singing, writing poetry, and other side quests! Redford’s story really speaks to me, and I am so lucky to get to work with such a loving cast and crew.
Lily Burkin - Liliana Lockenverde
"Designer, Synopsis Writer, Pro-Redford Propagandist. I’m a third year English major at Berkeley and teach a DeCal on audio drama podcasts. I also voiced Hera in the Star-Driven Expulsion of Count Lastname. My fondness for eerie theatrical productions was sparked in high school when I played Lucy in Bram Stoker’s Dracula. I’m extremely excited to help in any way I can to bring STINKJAW to life! I cannot wait to work with everybody behind the scenes, and hope that everyone loves Redford as much as I love it (it’s a darling!).”

Meet the Team
Writer & Director
Trapped in a radio between the ages of 12 to 14. Creator of "The Star Driven Expulsion of Count Lastname", "I Don't, I Don't! I Don't Hate It! I Don't Hate It!" and "Horsetail"."I'm so excited to be able to work to make this project a reality - STINKJAW has been a story I've been unable to articulate for a very long time and here at UC Berkeley I finally feel surrounded by the people and the tools to make it a reality! I hope the project is as rewarding to watch as it has been to make! <333"
Assistant Director
Conde has previously directed avant garde works such as Chavez Ravine: An L.A. Ghost Story and an experimental version of Macbeth and was the Assistant Director for Mr. Burns: A Post Electric Play. “Being familiar with different types of theater that goes beyond the expected capacity of what people think theater is limited to makes me super excited for people to see this show”. Conde would like to thank the Stinkjaw team for being so welcoming and hopes everyone comes to see this play!
Creative Consultants
Jazara Metcalf is part of the various aspects behind the scenes of bringing STINKJAW to life. As someone who loves the process of actualizing a project, she brings her years of theater experience along with her curiosity and enthusiasm for playwriting, marketing, and more.
“When I first heard an excerpt of the play, it immediately intrigued me. The world of the piece is incredibly juicy, and the more I thought about it, the more I wanted to dig in and get involved. I am happy to have this opportunity to help this play be the best that it can be”..

"Script editing, website design, and general behind-the-scenes assistance making STINKJAW possible. I’m a third-year Molecular Environmental Science Major at UC Berkeley, but beyond my scientific research, I love writing fiction and mildly disturbing poetry. I was also a voice actor in The Star-Driven Expulsion of Count Lastname. I’m very thankful and excited to be a part of this creative project!"

Marketing, creative consultant, and biggest STINKJAW apologist who somehow managed to squeeze in this project from her busy schedule after joking about helping for a random bit. A current second year majoring in Political Economy who would definitely become an AP history teacher if it weren’t for the money, Laura is more than excited to be helping this production come to life and hopes that you’ll enjoy it as much as she does.
“I’m more than ecstatic to be helping everyone make this project blossom after the months of hard work put in by cast and crew. I grew up loving theater and participating in it both on stage and behind the scenes. I can’t wait to see what happens with this creation!”

Lighting

Set, Lighting, and Projection. William is a second year majoring in Theater with a fascination with all things creepy and cozy. He has had experience with all aspects of theater from costumes, directing, set, sound, lights, and acting.
