Peter Abrams:

Peter Abrams, is a 21 year old award-winning comedian and musician, author, speaker and entrepreneur who found his lucky break by working and becoming the mentee of Russell Brand. In just two years; he has been fortunate enough to perform at a wide range of events including notable stages such as TED, Mind Body Spirit London,

The National Science Museum, Glastonbury and Madison Square Garden to
name a few. He has published one book titled Our Story Called Life, which looked at the meaning of life by comparing numerous cultures' belief systems, quite a unique concept for a book written by a then eighteen year old.

The book sold fantastically for a first-time author and allowed to speak at prestigious events including a TED-talk this November and The National Science Museum.

This journey led him to comedy and subsequently music, which for the last two years he has performed extensively in the United Kingdom and recently internationally on my 'Life is a Joke' tour which spanned 12 countries including the United States, China and Australia. He has been
fortunate and successful and has performed at venues including The Comedy Store, The Boiler-room, Glastonbury and Latitude Festival.

He is the front man for the UK band Current Affairs with their new EP Love and Other Drugs dropping soon.

Janelle Snow:
I've been fortunate to spend my adult life engaging in my twin passions of acting and educating. After receiving a degree in theatre from Northwestern, I went through the Second City Training Center and then spent a couple of years performing improv in Chicago and touring with various improv groups. As part of Wavelength, an ensemble committed to creating shows for educators, my passion for teaching was reignited. I pursued a Master's Degree in Teaching from Harvard University and upon graduation, I spent a few years immersed in teaching acting and drama full time. I eventually returned to my adopted hometown of Chicago and have been blending my passions ever since. I've appeared in dozens of stage productions across Chicago, received two Joseph Jefferson Awards, and have appeared in a slew of commercials as well as various on camera projects, including a recurring role on CHICAGO MED, the upcoming features RAIN BEAU'S END and NOISE AND COLOR, and the short film STAGE FOUR, for which I recently received a Best Actress Nomination from the Midwest Independent Film Festival. I had the distinct honor of working with Jane Alderman behind the camera as she cast multiple television shows and films and have carried the lessons of that experience with me as both a teacher and actor. I'm thrilled to be a member of the faculty of the Theatre School at DePaul, the Chicago College of Performing Arts, and Acting Studio Chicago, where I teach on camera acting and auditioning for the theatre. Also, I love running, crocheting, and cats.
