KAYCE ALLTOP
Kayce Alltop is one of the newest additions to the pH cast and is loving it. Kayce can be seen improving elsewhere with Canikid productions (they have traveled from Chicago to Austria and many places inbetween) and with Quincy (they've traveled from i.o. to the Playground and maybe one spot inbetween). She also performs in good old 'scripted' theatre and can currently be seen mornings at the Apollo theatre knocking out some Shakespeare.

SALLY ANDERSON
Sally Anderson's biggest goals have been to hold the title of Miss Brookings,South Dakota, become a member of pH Productions, and eventually own a jewel collection that would rival Elizabeth Taylor's. Two out of three, so far, isn't half bad! She was also Spider-Man and Aquaman in the same day by SCUBA diving (breathing underwater) and leaping 16 stories attached to a web (bungee cord) while in Mexico. Her days are spent with cat Markie Post and dog Otis. Otis is vice president of her dog walking company and makes a fantastic lasagna. A daily goal for Sally is to watch at least 3 episodes of Little House on the Prairie. Other groups Sally has been proud to be a part of are the Playground Incubator 2 team Kids With Feelings, Second City Conservatory
program, iO, and most beloved Makeshift Robot. Oh, she also has a crazy maid named Kukla who owns a mountain lion named Reese's Pieces. Kukla refuses to speak to Sally.

DREW CURRENT
When Drew Current was accepted in to the pH family he was all like "Really?...are you sure?" and pH was all like "Yep". So he is naturally very exited to be loved and wanted by others. Drew attended the prestigious Coffeyville Community College in the great metropolis of Coffeyville, Kansas, where he honed his craft in theater, improv, and substances. He has many years of improv experience and in various shapes and sizes, but unfortunately you have still, never heard of him. He spent a year on Vancouver Island in B.C. Canada honing his craft of 3D Animation and Visual Effects. He was recently, and successfully, laid off from Midway Games. He currently performs with Planet Terrance, a group of idiots desguised as smart people that act like morrons.

Drew hates Nihilism.

He enjoys punishing noobs in MarioKart (for SNES, you knucklehead) with his “dirty-krunk” drifting style, which waxes chumps like a candle. Seriously man, not in this house…not in this house.

He also likes to play and watch soccer. FORZA ITALIA!

CLAYTON DUBA
Clayton is an unapologetic reactionary radical that has a penchant for disproving the existence of irony. A true romantic, he yearns for the days of duel-based justice, mother’s marshmallows in TLC hot cocoa, and aristocratic discussions that vacillate between Greek and Latin without notice. To be clear, he is a firm believer in the supremacy of Greek and only speaks in a barbarian Latin tongue to slaves and horses. He is oft seen meandering throughout Chicago-- Homer in one hand, wife in the other, toes poking through the grass, and eyes affixed on the stars. Friend and foe alike see him as more than ‘a man for all seasons’-- he is a man for all moments, temporal yet eternal, like the unnamable Tao. Touched by the hand of God--molded by moxie—tamer of hubris; he brings glory to humility and kings to their knees. To search to know him is to search for maturity, wisdom, a love of life and a life of love. If that is too cryptic, its because Clayton teaches AP European History and Honors Philosophy, so ask him what the hell this means.

AARON ELLSWORTH
Aaron is first and foremost humbled and honored to be a part of pH. Aaron has been a cast member with pH since 2005, represent. Improv/Comedy has been on Aaron's list of what to do with his life since the moment as a child, he discovered that laughing makes you feel simply awsome. Aaron began performing improv with The Magical Mystery Brew in 1997 and is a graduate of The Second City Conservatory program. Aaron wants to give thanks and love to all those who have ever supported him in this journey, his family, his friends, Duff, The Summit, Bryan, and to all those who believe in him. pH rules!!!

No longer able to play guitar, she made the transition to improv, graduating from the I.O. Training Center and Second City Conservatory program. She can be seen playing with Psychoplasmics at I.O., Miss Hawaiian Tropic at The Playground, or trying to figure out if there is a way to change the past.
