Madame Claudia | Director

In addition to acting as Director of Escape Reality, Madame Claudia holds the honorary title of Pedagogue of Drama at the reputable secondary educational institution Washington High School. She earned her Master of Fine Arts in Directing from Kansas City Community College with her enlightening thesis "Moose Kid the Musical: A brilliant Bildungsroman which shows how the beastliness of boys belies the beauty beneath." Thanks to her endeavors, the Washington High Theatre is on its way to becoming the finest in all of Missouri. As goes the state's famous proverb "Show me!", the legacy of this well-traveled thespian speaks for itself. It should be noted that her involvement with Escape Reality is a trivial pastime since sketch comedy is of course the basest form of art. Madame Claudia's magnum opus is yet to be seen---very likely the greatest production of the off-Broadway classic Fishwoman.

Jon Adams | Stage Manager, Writer-Performer

Jon joins Escape Reality after a week or two of off-off-off Broadway experience as lumber wrangler for 'This Old House: The Musical'.

In addition to speaking as little as possible, Jon keeps things kind of organized. Well, to be honest, he's the only dude we know with a pickup truck. There, we said it.

Katelyn Melton | Writer

Firstly, we identify as the queen. You can call us/we. Deep thoughts. It's important to have your cake and eat it too.

In the future Katelyn will be known for her excellence in marketing, non-violent communication, and international espionage.
She's no longer the new one.

Nathan Franklin | Writer-Performer

Despite all of the rumors, Nathan Andrew Franklin was never a Boy Scout. He learned everything about survival from his homeschool education, where he became a star in his own right. Everyone has a right to be a star, so if you’ve never heard of him, the joke’s on YOU!

Gerie Voss | Writer-Performer

Gerie grew up on the mean streets of suburbia (i.e., Long Island, NY) which was the perfect upbringing to create another disgruntled lawyer. She works from home with her two dogs (who can be terrors) and dresses every day like she is going to the gym but does not belong to one. Gerie spends her free time trying to get on game shows and blaming her parents for all of her neuroses.  

Nicolette Regina | Writer-Performer

Nicolette Regina is perfect in every way. She’s never had a mental breakdown nor has she ever had any broken bones. Her art is cultivated from pure talent and wit. Not depression. May we remind you that “Regina” means queen in Italian. She also has the perfect cat, Bugbee June Regina.

Jonathan Klein | Writer-Performer

You might have followed Jonathan's storied Hollywood career, having starred in such blockbuster hits as "Look Who's Milking Daddy 2" and "Goat Tipping: the Revenge." When he's not method acting, his mild-mannered alter ego is that of a career waiter (talk about a cliché!). Jonathan used to be pretty good at visual art as well, but AI has made him completely obsolete. He enjoys nature and using mind-altering substances to distract from the inevitable degradation of his corporeal form in a meaningless existence for which he did not give consent.

Jarrett Brown | Writer

Just as Jeffrey Dahmer and Ed Gein before him, Jarrett Brown was born and raised in Wisconsin. He fled to Portland, OR because the passive-aggressive residents do not ask questions. His ability to insert himself inside other people’s skin is what lured him to Escape Reality. Currently he is holed up in an undisclosed location in Idaho… but he will strike (the set) again.
