August Trometer

August Trometer was born and raised in Kokomo, Indiana. Yes, that’s a Beach Boys song, and it really is the place you want to go to get away from it all.
He grew up dreaming of living in LA. Though it took nearly his entire life to get here, he finally beat the odds and escaped the midwest by tunneling the entire way, only coming above ground to cross the Mississippi, where he disguised himself as a carp.
He has studied improv and sketch at M.i.’s Westside Comedy Theater and UCB, and he regularly writes and performs with his Westside Comedy house sketch team The Lounge Act.
Little known fact: August invented Reese’s Cups. OK, he just made that last part up, but wouldn’t that be cool?

Jennifer Cowan

Jennifer is an original member of the Westside’s long-standing improv house team Cobranauts and performs monthly with Tin-Pan Radio Theater. Her training spans from New York to Los Angeles—where she has studied and performed at UCB, Armando Diaz’s Magnet Theater, and Mi’s Westside Comedy Theater.

Chelsea’s various other improv endeavors include puppet improv on “Never Been Fist” and improv inspired from Instagram in “Instaprov.”  A museum educator for her day job, Chelsea recently started a business that blends her loves of improv comedy and art, called MuseumProv.

Rolland Lopez

As “Agent Double Cross”, Rolland has been performing in the home theater cast of Mission: IMPROVable for 7 years and he refuses to leave until they kick him out! He’s been teaching and coaching improv for over 5 years and loves bringing his workshops to theaters throughout the US. His 2-person improv show, Rollin’ in Riches, won iO West’s Duo Competition in 2015 and has performed and taught in 11 festivals in 10 states…and counting.
As a voiceover actor, Rolland has done numerous radio commercials, and narrated industrial videos, eLearning modules and Explainer videos. He was the voice of Poncho in the animated version of the “Pooch Cafe” comic strip and the voice of Eliot in DOA: Dimensions on the Nintendo 3DS. Look for him as the voice of a talking globe on shelves in 2018!
He’s not a huge fan of hiking or walking on the beach in the hot LA sun but he can be easily talked into going salsa dancing, studies Russian in his free time and is desperately trying to cook more often while simultaneously wash fewer dishes without a dishwasher.

Natasha Milner
