Audiences should keep an eye on Cath’s continued rise—this debut is sure to impress.

Derek Kingsley – One of BAE’s most decorated talents, Derek brings seasoned charisma to every role. Known for his dual role as Michael/James in both the flagship A Fragile Mind series and the spinoff In Time with Michael Peterson, Derek was also the BAE Best Actor of the Year for Magical Thinking in Good Vibes Summer Season 1. Next up? He’ll star in the titular role of Justin Thyme. A triple-threat performer, director, and now producer—Derek is unstoppable.

Cole Dzubak – A longtime Broken Arts standout, Cole has contributed both onstage and behind the scenes since 2022. A Michigan State University theatre grad, Cole currently works at the University of Michigan and has racked up nominations for Best Director (twice) and Best Actor (Taylor Made), in addition to being an award-winning playwright. He’s well known for his role as Doug McKenzie in A Fragile Mind and At the Cabin.

Bob Sawyer – Making his acting debut with Broken Arts, Bob brings fresh energy and enthusiasm to the ensemble. Since joining BAE, he’s already taken on roles as a producer and editor—now stepping into the spotlight in his first acting role.

Producer: Ian Ashland
Since joining Broken Arts in 2020 with Quarantine 2038, Ian Ashland has become an indispensable figure in BAE's creative engine.
