JEFFREY’S PRODUCTION OF CHARIOTS OF RUBBER IS HIS FIRST
FULL LENGTH MUSICAL SINCE HIS ‘TRAGIC’ DEBUT OF “BOY IN THE
BUBBLE”- A ONE MAN SHOW FEATURING JEFFREY IN A BUBBLE
INFLATED BY A GAS POWERED LEAF BLOWER. THE CHARACTER’ BOY
IN THE BUBBLE’ CAME FROM A MONTHLY WRESTLING SATIRE
"PORTLAND ORGANIC WRESTLING". P.O.W. WAS A SPRING BOARD
FOR MANY OF JEFFREY’S CHARACTERS SUCH AS GROUND ZERO
AMERICAN HERO, CLAN OF THE TEDDY BEAR, JAZZ ODYSEY, KEGBOT,
AND THE REVEREND BROTHER RAY. JEFFREY CO-FOUNDED THE ROSE CITY ROLLERS AND COACHED THEM
INTO THEIR FIRST SEASON.. MORE RECENTLY HE HAS DIRECTED COMMERCIALS FOR THE MATADOR AND
VOODOO DOUGHNUTS.
MUSICAL DIRECTOR PRIVATE MIKE ALBANO HAS BEEN
SLAYING MYTHICAL CREATURES WITH HIS GUITAR SINCE
MIDDLE SCHOOL. HIS KEY INVOLVEMENT IN LOCAL BANDS
LIKE DIAMOND TUCK AND LSD&D BARELY GREASED THE
COOKIE SHEET WHEN IT COMES TO HIS OWN OVEN-HOT
METAL INSPIRATION, CHARIOTS OF RUBBER. THE ALL-
ORIGINAL SCORE INCLUDES MUSICAL STYLINGS FROM HAIR METAL BALLADS TO SAMBA. HE ALSO TAKES
PRIDE IN THE ORIGINAL SCORING OF COMMERCIALS FOR VOODOO DOUGHNUT AND THE MATADOR.
LISA VENTRELLA HAS PERFORMED, TAUGHT, AND
CHOREOGRAPHED DANCE IN PORTLAND SINCE 1988.
AFTER RECEIVING HER BA IN DANCE FROM PORTLAND
STATE UNIVERSITY, SHE HAS DANCED WITH THE REALLY
BIG DANCE COMPANY AND THE CHERRY TARTS
BURLESQUE TROUPE. SHE HAS TAUGHT AND
CHOREOGRAPHED WITH MANY LOCAL GROUPS,
INCLUDING SEVERAL PRODUCTIONS WITH THE NORTHWEST CHILDREN'S THEATER AND PORTLAND'S
BELOVED SKETCH COMEDY GROUP, THE THIRD FLOOR.
