Jake Mierva

Co-Artistic Director & Production Manager
(he/him)

Half-man, half-celestial, Jacob Douglas Mierva cracked out of a star at the age of 4 and had to PISS SO BADLY! Once he relieved himself (went pee), he ran for Congress in 2006, and won. He’s been representing the 6th District from Maine since his landslide win. He hates frogs, he hates bugs, and really REALLY doesn’t want you to bring either to his plays. Let’s see, let’s see, what else, what else… Oh! There’s the light, I guess that’s my time. If you liked what you saw, you can follow me on Insta— Yeah, no, I’m going.

Jake is an award winning theatre artist, and filmmaker, from Minneapolis, MN. His obsession with the absurd drives him to make crazy, immersive theatre pieces. When he isn’t creating art, he’s cracking open some Miller High Lifes with the buds, or taking his pup, Martini, for long walks. He received his BA in Theatre Arts from the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, and is currently pursuing his MFA in Playwriting from the Actors Studio Drama School, at Pace University.

Danylo Loutchko

Co-Artistic Director & Marketing Director
(he/him)

Danylo Loutchko emerged from a gelatinous sack in Bavaria in 1624 AD. For the first 300 years of his existence, he lived as a circus slug, performing across all the most celebrated stages and streets of Europe. In 1924, he finally racked up enough XP to evolve into his next form, an itinerant vampire guitarist. He played rock’n’roll up through the Clinton administration, when that stuff stopped being cool. His major strength: an 8-foot vertical. His major weakness: navy beans.
