	Mordicai Knode The Wardlock If Vincent Price & Max Schreck had been mobsters, Mordicai would have been their kingpin! Tommy guns chattering away at Armageddon: rat-at-at-at-tat! Or is that the hideous sound of your teeth chattering...in terror? In previous Lion Pinball Productions Mordicai has been a time travelling biker, the prince of the cat-people, & half warlock, half warden, all fiend! Rumors he filed down his teeth to points for all previous roles are FALSE. His teeth are naturally that way. Soon he will be tucked away in the honeycombed hull of a hulking starship, & then you'll see, won't you? Then you'll know. Bombs away! Say that you believe in fairies, won't you? Clap if you do! The faeries have difficulty finding your jugular vein in the dim lights of the venue. Please clap so they can find you! All your plans to survive the zombie apocalypse are for naught. He is coming. He is coming. He is here!

	Daile Orlock Angela Taylor Daile has escaped both the tombs of Egypt and the barrens of New Jersey. Her laughter is like a fairy village ringing bells after a military victory.

	Erin Blair O'Malley Diana Huntress Erin Blair O'Malley - Erin is very pleased to be working with this fabulous group on Cat CotE. A graduate of SUNY New Paltz with a B.A. in Theatre/Performance, Erin enjoys long walks on nude beaches, drinking wine with friends, and stomping out oppressive patriarchal ideologies with steel-toed stilletto boots. Stomp! She also has performed in a variety of capacities on stage and screen. Credits include leading roles in NYC World Premieres of Dinner at Precisely 8:13 (Rose E. Cheeks), and You and Me and the Devil Makes Three (Sadie) and...Witch Prison! Erin has also done various styles of modeling, and is in talks for several independant films. Thanks to her friends and family for all of their love and support, and special thanks to Greg, for being everything she could want in her best friend and partner.

	Dave Orsborn Sam Fleming Dave is probably best known for his portrayal of "Louisiana Purchase Signatory # 4" in a 2003 commercial for the Louisiana Travel and Tourism Board. He can also be seen in the background of numerous photos taken by tourists in locations as diverse as Times Square in NYC, the French Quarter in New Orleans, the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, NC, and your uncle's BBQ last Fourth of July. When he is not entertaining the masses with his fellow Lion Pinball Players, Dave tends to his Zen garden and writes haikus about pornstars. He is also rumored to be running for vice-chancellor of the shadow government and is leading by a 12 percent margin in the shadow polls, but he could not be reached for comment at the time of publication.

	Alia Phibes Violet Marrowlick Alia V. Phibes is a veteran Lion Pinball Player, having appeared in the raucous, knee-slapping masterpieces "Young Romance Play," "Jungle Woman of the Jungle" and "Witch Prison." She hopes that "Cocktails at the Center of the Earth" will represent the pinnacle of her performing achievements! In her civilian life she makes pictures and puns (www.evilkid.com), has and adorable cat (www.omgkitty.com) and tries to come up with crackpot schemes to get rich so she can continue her life of international travel and leisure.

	Maggie Hoffman Babette Kardsharp There is little time remaining to us, for soon is the time of the machine, the rise of the robots! So, speaks Maggie prayerfully and sincerely, though with a beaming smile of such brilliance, you must shield your eyes! The gentle touch of your all-too-mortal hand on your face as you protect yourself from blindness reminds you of her prophecy, "flesh is temporary." Her striped soul is far from done with this world, however, as her collection of tardigrade water bears is incomplete. Thirty may seem a great sum of such bears, but it is the metaphorical tip of an all-too-real iceberg. Soon enough, soon enough, she will have them all. She also collects coins and is ecstatic to be in another Lion Pinball Production.

	Lauren Feinman Ilsa Shewulf Lauren has the rare and enviable ability to say "bitch" in a way that makes you wish words were tangible. You would scramble with other audience members to snatch it from the air much as fans at a Mets game for a foul ball. You would then place the silvery prize on your mantle with your other glittering, ephemeral trophies.

	Karl Langberg Imply Karl's performance channels a half-lizard on ambien. He is not soon forgotten. Karl lingers. Teasing images of him play back and forth, flickering in your mind's eye which, too soon, must blink. You regret that brief moment of loss.

	Caroline Contillo Tabitha Candlewax, the Winking Witch Caroline Contillo is a writer and artist living in Greenpoint, NY. News of her current and ongoing projects can be found at http://blog.carolinecontillo.com

	Lois F Rexella Infanticide Lois F. has been in several of Simon Astor's plays: 'The Young Romance Play', 'Junglewoman of the Jungle', 'Witch Prison' and now Cat CotE! She hopes to be in more so please, when you see her in the curtain call, clap loudly to show Simon that you believe in Lois!!! Say quick that you believe! If you believe, clap your hands!!!

	Richard Grant Johnny Craft Are you familiar with those devices purchased by those with Seasonal Affective Disorder? You know the ones I mean, it's like a box with a timer that slowly glows to life and simulates the very dawn. What powers such a device, allows it to burn like the very rays of the very sun? It is Richard's Love. It is the love Richard Grant brings to the world!

	Sara Champagne The Dry-Eyed Widow In the Hall of Destiny there sits a throne, and in that throne there curls a majestic, sleek creature, vaguely feline, which peers back with bored, amber eyes. Sara Champagne combs it sometimes with an ivory petting-fork. She also sings to it in a language lost to men.

	Edward Crosby Fergus Lively Ed "The Pillar of Hercules" Crosby is pleased and proud to be making his Off-Broadway debut with the Lion Pinball Players. He would like to remind the audience of Worf's quote from Where Silence Has Lease - "A ship has one bridge! One bridge!! One Riker, one bridge!"

	Moses T. Krikey Little Jimmy Craft Color blind prospector Moses T. Krikey blushed redder thin his panty-loons (assumin' they is red of course, did he tell yis he was color blind?) when he was asked to take part in another Lion Pinball Production. He's hoping to find there's gold under the prison, and he don't keer how long it takesum to find it.

	Simon Astor Vincent Pennygrave In addition to Cocktails at the Centre of the Earth, Simon is the author of Witch Prison, Jungle Woman of the Jungle and Bawbul and Trink Go a-Viking. His next project will be Trench!! He divides his time between Seattle, Washington and Greenpoint, Brooklyn and is making a chess set out of salt and pepper shakers.
