Annie grew up in the Joliet/Plainfield area of Illinois and went to Plainfield High School, then on to the Univiersity of Illinois in Champaign-Urbana to get her degree in music education with a vocal emphasis. Most recently, Annie went with the Opera Festival di Roma company to perform in the title role of Suar Angelica, by Puccini. Annie met up with Steph in 04' as a member of the Consorte Bella Donna, and performed with them at the Bristol Ren. Faire. (Steph later introduced her to her cute guitar playing husband, Jay <3). Annie is currently teaching music in Racine, Wisconsin, enjoys playing the oboe and piano, singing a wide range of music, drawing, painting, and dance, and is looking foreword to singing with Bootless Harlequins. Other hobbies/time wasters include learning to speak Japanese, drawing doujinshi, playing WOW with her hubby, and being a big Gilbert and Sullivan nerd.
Mike O'Donnell has been making noises since 1952. He earned a Ph.D. in Computer Science at Cornell, and supports himself by professing it at the University of Chicago.
