We’re super-excited to have four wildly talented actors on board. You’re going to love what they bring to the screen.
Savannah Mortenson – Savannah has been acting for 8 years. She graduated in spring of 2020 from the University of Northern Colorado with a Bachelor of Arts in Acting. During her time there, she indulged in many forms of the craft. She was the president of UNCo’s Shakespeare club, and a proud member of the resident sketch comedy troupe, Hello, My Name Is!. Her training there was diverse, namely including classical and modern styles and theory, Suzuki movement, and film acting techniques. Favorite roles performed include Richard in Richard III, and Ma Joad in The Grapes of Wrath (for which she received a KCACTF Irene Ryan award nomination, and was awarded Best Actress in a Lead Role at the 2019 Tommy Awards). With film being her predominant pursuit, and with a vast love for comedy and fantasy/paranormal genres, she is elated to be a part of this production!
Thompson Powers – Thompson Powers is an actor, puppeteer, improvisor, and jack of trades in Denver, CO. A graduate of Shenandoah Conservatory with a BFA in Music and Theatre, he has acted in hundreds of productions across dozens of states over the past 2 decades. He has received awards for his work on the documentary “Touche: A Blind Fencer’s Story” (Best Short Doc at the Madrid IFF; Second Best Doc at the Seattle True IFF; Gold Reel winner at the Nevada FF). His puppetry work has entertained audiences in the original children’s series “The PreTend Frend Show,” pop-up art exhibits with Denver Zoo and The Handsome Little Devils, and as host of the monthly comedy game show “Show of Hands” as a giant Australian monster named Munthly. Thompson can currently be seen performing regularly with some of Denver’s longest running improv comedy shows, including “On the Spot,” “Makeshift Shakespeare,” and “Hit and Run: The Improvised Musical!”
Phyllis Ramie – As a child, Phyllis had dreamed of being an actor, but she was a shy, awkward little thing and, well, life can take unexpected turns. Those turns included a 10-year stint in the U.S. Navy, several years working on merchant marine ships, one marriage (still going), several houses, one daughter, and several years as an ex-pat living in Australia. Eventually, Phyllis landed in San Diego and decided to take an acting class. One acting class led to more until Phyllis finally found herself on a film set and knew that she had found her place. Since that first film set, Phyllis has pursued this acting career with firm focus on telling stories that are compelling and a little off the beaten path.
Dylan LaRay – Dylan LaRay is a professional actor of stage and screen. He played the lead role in his debut feature film, Fang (2021), opposite cult film star, Lynn Lowry, and was a featured protester in Aaron Sorkin’s Oscar-nominated film, The Trial of the Chicago 7 (2020). He has starred in 19 short films and 40+ theatre productions and has been cast in Flagstaff Shakespeare Festival’s 2021 summer repertory season. He earned his BA in Theatre Arts and Italian Studies at the University of Arizona and studied physical theatre at the Accademia dell’Arte in Italy. Dylan is also a devising artist who has co-created 9 original theatre productions, most notably, The Camino Project (2019) with Theatre Y. He currently works out of Colorado and is represented by Eden Talent Agency.
