Adam Womack is thrilled to return to the stage with LADADB. Some favorite Los Angeles Regional Credits include Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder (D'ysquith Family), I Do, I Do (Michael), Oklahoma! (Judd), Billy Elliot (Mr. Braithwaite), and Man of La Mancha (Sancho). TV Credits include: Great Pretenders (Freeform/ABC Family), Hero's Welcome (CBS). His family is unsurprised to find he has found a way to combine his love for acting, singing and drinking. They are more supportive than his doctor.
CANDICE KIMBERLY - Performer
Candice is so happy to be back on the stage with these amazing performers! She is currently a 3rd Grade Teacher at Lummi school in Bellingham where she gets the wonderful job of hanging out with a bunch of wonderful balls of germs. Recently having graduated with her Masters and having performed for 23 years, she is ready to do some more singing and drinking . She dedicates this performance to her great aunt who passed, her motto in life was: “When life gives you lemons…. MAKE MARGARITAS!" She would like to thank LADADB for continuing to put up with her :)
CHRISTINE OSHIKI - Performer
Praised for her transcendent vocals and understated, saucy glances (seriously, look it up), soprano Christine Oshiki (she/they) is a child-wrangler by day and a loud-ass vocalist by night. She holds a BM (insert poop joke here) in Vocal Performance from the University of Washington and a MEd in Early Childhood Education from Eastern Washington University, which basically means she works well over 50 hours a week only to live pay check to pay check. While becoming a home owner one day is a rapidly fleeting fantasy, Christine has committed themselves to the Seattle area by co-founding Lowbrow Opera Collective, a non-profit arts organization hellbent on removing the monocle from opera’s a$$. When she’s not teaching 3 year-olds about consent, how much toilet paper to use after pooping, and the queer agenda, Christine can be found drinking IPAs like a good Pacific Northwesterner with their partner, Alex, their dogs, Ollie and Otis, and cat-shaped demon, Luna. Yes, the animals drink IPAs, too.
CLAIRE SCHUTTLER - Performer, Choreographer
Claire is jazzed to be back with LADADB! An OG since season two, Claire is very passionate about this show and adores everyone involved <3 Her favorite drink is a margarita, she knows 95% of the lyrics to the Means Girls musical, and she has a tiny corgi named Twiggy who is sick of watching her practice choreography in the living room instead of throwing toys for her. Follow her on instagram @twiggydippin bc she is seriously so cute.

MIKEY DELA CRUZ - Performer, Choreographer
Mikey (he/him) is beyond ecstatic to return to the LADADB stage, after leaving Seattle to pursue a bachelor’s in nursing. Now that he’s done and found a job, he’s back and ready to wreak havoc with these super talented mofos. Besides seeing him on the hospital floor cleaning shit (both figurative and literal), you can also find him performing with Seattle’s Men’s Chorus (we got holiday shows coming up!) or dancing at a local dance studio. Some of his past favorite credits include “Legally Blonde” (Seattle Musical Theatre), “Seven Brides…” (Lyric Light Opera), and “The Drowsy Chaperone” (TMP). He would like to thank all his friends and family for the continued support, especially in his boozy decisions. He would also like to give a special shout out to his SDU/PACU team for coming to the show in full force. Love y’all!
