Eddie A
Eddie currently lives in Kansas City, Missouri, where he works as an actor and writer. Born and raised in Jefferson City, MO (one of the oft-forgotten capital cities!), Eddie attended Stephens College in Columbia, MO for his theatre education. Part of the appeal of Stephens was its long and storied history, being one of the oldest continually operating women’s colleges in the country. Yes, you read that right: Stephens is a women’s college which admits men into their arts programs–luckily for Eddie. Being a Stephens boy ensured Eddie was surrounded by sisterhood, and many of his classmates remain lifelong friends. After college, Eddie fulfilled a life-long dream in moving to New York City to pursue the arts. During his five years in the city, Eddie learned innumerable lessons, worked in every arts and real estate related field he could, and met the man he would eventually marry and with whom he would move back to Missouri (and subsequently divorce..). Eddie is intimately aware that none of our life stories go to plan in the doing, but that out of chaos comes self-betterment and knowledge. When he is not working on his biography of the Broadway titan Tammy Grimes, Eddie can be found performing, baking, spending time with loved ones–and sharing stories.

Brendan S.
Despite spending plenty of time in classrooms (English lit, creative writing, philosophy), Brendan has found that his most interesting creative material has come from his everyday life. Being the youngest in a big family of distinct personalities and political discordance, Brendan was a silent observer for much of his early youth. At age thirteen, while trying to find his own path, he decided to become a writer. Complicated family dynamics, strange childhood memories, and moral ambiguity are just a few of the themes (grist for the mill) that Brendan likes to write about. He is a collector of S.A.D. (Specific Animate Detail), kooky phrases and idioms, and is intrigued by the latter 20 th century (he loves quizzing his grandmother on popular culture in the 60s, 70s, and 80s). Whether he is writing fiction or non-fiction, his principles remain the same. Tell the story as it is, resist sensationalism. And don’t be afraid to write about things that scare you (that’s what writing is for).
