Jacqueline moved back to the seacoast area in 2008 after attending the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, and joined Stranger Than Fiction that same year. She was also recently accepted to a resident cast at Improv Boston. She just really loves improv. When not on stage, Jacqueline can be found pursuing her other passion: music.

Tara has been teaching, performing, and otherwise thinking about improv for over 25 years -- which sometimes feels like a very long time and sometimes feels like no time at all. In addition to being a long-time STF cast member (after a pandemic break), she also performs in Portland with Yes & Co and is creator and co-producer of women's comedy collective You Should Smile More. Tara co-founded San Francisco's Un-Scripted Theater Company and has trained with Keith Johnstone as well as teachers at BATS Improv, UCB, Magnet Theater, and ImprovBoston. She has taught improv to clowns, shy people, public defenders, and everyone in between.

Jen has been improvising on stage, with humans as well as puppets, for several years. She can't imagine a life without improv. When not performing or teaching improv to kind New England folks, she can be seen teaching yoga or helping laboratory animals escape in the dead of night. 

Evan's been a fan of improv for years, and began taking classes in 2016 with Stranger Than Fiction. He is so excited to be a member of the cast! He loves all forms of improv and is thrilled to be able to practice being playful and spontaneous on a regular basis.

Tim has been goofing around on stage since taking a class at Lin-Wood High School. He spent four years at the University of Maine at Farmington performing short-form with the Lawn Chair Pirates and later went to train in Chicago at the esteemed Second City. Tim happily joined STF in 2018. In his free time he is juggling many hobbies like brewing beer, designing board games, and shooting cowboy guns.

Kara fell in love with the world of improv and the community that comes with it in 2018 after starting classes with Stranger Than Fiction. If she’s not doing improv, she is most likely found working with children, outside in the woods somewhere, writing poems, or pretending to be a wacky inflatable tube man. She’s beyond excited to be cast as a member of Stranger Than Fiction.

Mike has been an improviser for 19 years and has played with many troupes and in many styles along the way.  He trained at iO and The Annoyance in Chicago and feels just jazzed about dramatic improv and impro en español.  He's taken the stage at The Lowell Comedy Festival, Columbus is Funny Festival, Columbus ComFest, The Chicago Improv Festival, and The Dramatic Improv Festival.  Also, he'll teach you Spanish if you need that.

Seth Waters is an improv fan who has tried to be involved in spontaneous artforms for as long as he can remember. Most recently, he was the coordinator of the Rooftop Jam and the director of the Rooftop Improv Troupe in Hong Kong. He was also the improv pianist for TBCImprov HK. He is happy to be back in the New England air, rich in the smell of whoopie pies, mussels, suburban sprawl. It's a real treat for him to get to play with STF, the first professional troupe he got to see live!

Dan Schiffmacher has been improvising for 15 years. He's trained at iO Chicago, performed at Second City, as well as dozens of other stages around the Chicagoland Area.
