CAST CREDITS
Gabrielle Bosso — Emissary
Gabby has always been a huge fan of sci-fi, so when she read Anno Machina, she knew she needed to audition. This is her first one-person show and she’s been so in love with the process. Since graduating with her Bachelor’s in theater, she’s been searching for a piece like this. She’s had to face new struggles and learn new skills and facts and information. She’s enjoyed every part of working the script, rehearsing, and watching the design unfold from start to finish. This is such an exciting piece and she can’t wait to share the love and hard work of everyone with you.
Grey Davis — Commentator
Grey Davis (they/them) is happy to be supporting Theatre Berk, whose artistic director has been a longtime collaborator with their home company, Torchsong Theatre Company. Grey is a 5-octave bass singer and voice actor. You may have seen them as a neurotic nerd — Brad Majors in The Rocky Horror Picture Show or Jamie in the soon to be remounted D&D-inspired Guilds of Manzoa — or a murderous psychopath — Nathan Wallace in Repo! the Genetic Opera and Jack Messer in Torchsong's Ripper: Song of the Knife. Thank you for coming out to local theatre produced by local artists!

Lauren McCune — Aide
Lauren McCune is honored to make her film debut in this fantastic production! You can catch her performing in THE TESLA CITY STORIES, onstage and on its podcast. In her non-performing time, she gets kids to school with joy as a bike bus leader at Abernethy Elementary, raises an amazing 1st grader, agitates for safe streets with BikeBusPDX, and can't resist anything that resembles a sparkly parade on wheels! You can find her on Instagram @lomackelton.
Brendan Jones — Mogul
I am a writer first and foremost, with a boundless love of and feel for pop culture. I am a past finalist in the Austin Film Festival screenwriting competition, a semi-finalist in the Nicholls Fellowship competition, and finalist in the Texas Playwrights Festival. My graphic novel “Breakfast of the Gods” enjoyed quite a bit of internet renown and critical appreciation. For the last several years, I’ve directed, written and acted in a monthly live production recreating 1940s radio called The Tesla City Stories. I have done freelance illustration, sung in a rock band, and hosted a syndicated kiddie show on Houston TV. I’ve done a bit of everything in the creative/performing fields. Yes, I’ve been to paradise, but I’ve never been to me.
Taylor Jean Grady — Streamer
Taylor is a professional actor, content creator, and Portland local who has performed on various Portland area stages since 2015. She is a graduate of The Actors Conservatory’s two year professional actor training program and represented by Harris Talent Agency. She was last seen as far too many characters to list in Penguin Productions’s Upon the King. You can catch her next (in the flesh) as Puck in Shake&Pop’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream running October 3-25th, followed by Lady Macbeth in Experience Theatre Project’s Macbeth opening January 2026 (she hopes you are not reading this program aloud). Virtually, she can be seen at Twitch.tv/Tomasina and on most social media platforms as @itsTomasina. She’d like to thank William for this unique opportunity to merge two of her passions, as well as her Security Chief Odo (red tri Australian shepherd) and Chief Engineer Miles O’Brien (black domestic shorthair).
