Andrea

Andrea Snell

Andrea is a actress/writer/ clown/caricaturist who obviously has some serious issues with the government. She dreams of someday having a radically hard- core provocative political sketch group -if you know anyone whos up for that and
isnt nuts let her know. She is a graduate of The New Actors Workshop (along with NAY-Fed over there) as well as the University of Colorado. Shes performed in numerous plays and some short films and has improvised quite a bit with a
number of groups. Shed like to thank Ken and Jen for this opportunity, her wonderfully talented and
tolerant cast for patiently enduring rewrites, and her Mom for flying in just for the show!
This is Andreas second show with Manhattan Rep.

 

 

Nathan

Nathan P. Efferson

Nathan P. Efferson, a writer, actor and self-professed BATHER, is very humbled and grateful to be a part of America 2007, his first show since a two year sabbatical in the desert of Phoenix, Arizona. He looks forward to the opportunity to make someone laugh so hard they fart. It doesn't happen often, but when it does, you know you earned it. Nathan would like to thank his wonderful and always loving and supportive girlfriend, Jennifer, his parents, Chris and Debra Efferson, and all of the family and friends that have been so supportive of this loveable and drug-free Jerk since his early days in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. If you see him in public, watch out for Nathan's dangerous and often drunk, white-rapping alter-ego, NAY-FED, whose first album - Playin' with Matches, "drops" in late 2007. It (and he) is a total disgrace.
