JEN RYAN (Alice) is insanely happy to be "doin' the play thing" at GableStage. A graduate
of Rollins College, she has performed in a slew of plays (Amadeus, After the Fall, and
The Heidi Chronicles), and directed an acclaimed production of Harold Pinter's One for the
Road After a nasty incident involving chunky peanut butter and a renegade UFO, she hooked up with
PUNCH 59 (sketch comedy) where, for the past year, she has directed, written and acted. She is proud to
have played Clarice Starling and Britney Spears during the same show, written countless sketches,
screenplays and a play (as yet unproduced), as well as having been on Letterman - twice. Jen
would like to heap profound thanks upon her parents for the food and love, PUNCH for the freedom, and DL
for his endless support and inspiration. Oh - and Joe, Sandy, Bob, Paul and the rest of you aren't bad,
either. Honestly (and I quote, "it's the trill of a lifetime to be here - this one's for Oren and Mr.
B.RAWK!"
