Archie "Billy-Goat" Crisp - Connor Barrett
Connor Barrett began his performance career as a stand up comic and sketch creator. He is eager to be stepping away from the hilarity for a while in order to dedicate himself to real and respectable stage work. He thanks his directors and fellow actors for their guidance and trust in him as he undertakes his first serious role. Seriously guys. For serious. Thank you.

Margy Burke - Sally Ann Cone
Sally Ann Cone, the Co-Founder and Artistic Director of Coup de Theatre Atlanta, is thrilled to finally take off the Director's hat (sort of) and return to her first love, acting. Huge thanks to the following people in no particular order: Entire cast and crew, Bob Wood, Jim Karwisch, the loving family, and the boyfriend.
Troy Halverson - Co-Director
Troy is a veteran of over 40 staged theater productions around Atlanta and is regular at Relapse Theatre, where he works as business manager and web master. Since 2005, he has performed in sketches, taught classes, and appeared in over 200 improv shows at Relapse, as well as direct the occasional video. Currently you can see him in the 2 Girls 3 Eyes improv troupe on Friday nights and in the Tuesday night Richard Kickers show. This is Troy's second production with Coup de Theatre Atlanta, having played Larry in last year's production of Closer. He is thrilled to be working again with CDT, and a wonderful cast, showing the unexpected side of relationships.
Loren Lankford - Co-Director
Loren Lankford is a Georgia native, home from NYC and thrilled to be spending six months in Atlanta with the people that mean the most to her. Even more exciting is the opportunity to, after all these years, get back to theatre and work on a show again with the lovely Sally. Thanks go to everyone involved for all your hard work! She has to especially thank KC for sharing some sweet mixes and Charlie for indulging her love of special cookies. To her family: Sally, Elissa, Jessie, Matt and Lyndsay: you make her world go 'round and thats no lie. It's hard being away...thanks for letting her come home and crash the party. Music may have been her first love but New York is nothing without you. And...hey, you! Thanks for coming out to the show!
Gigi BouDouani - Co-Stage Manager
Gigi Boudouani is so stoked to be behind the scenes of The Widow's Blind Date regulating girl power. She doesn't know what Ms. Cone liked about her (the cake affairs?) but whatever it is, it likes to pretend itself well-versed in the theatrical arts, with an emphasis on improv and period pieces that are best worn to bed. Actually she just likes to make people laugh at her expense. If anyone is seeking pseudo-intellectual nutritional advice, please meet her outside the bedroom window. Vampire capes are strongly encouraged. Cake would be totally ja awesome too.
Charlie Adair - Co-Stage Manager
Charlie Adair is happy to be back for another performance with Coup de Theatre Atlanta. He has up till now been an ensemble actor for the theatre and is now lending his energies from behind the foot lights. If you ask him if he misses being on stage in the action he’d reply, “Of course, I’m an actor not a stage manager, duh!” But he’d more than likely follow that statement up with this: “Sometimes you learn more from taking a step back and just watching…oh and if ‘duh!’ Came across mean, I apologize I’m not mean, I promise.”
Mathew Wolff - Set Design/ Builder Matthew Wolff is Immature for a living. He likes loitering at comedy clubs and beer in the afternoon. This lifestyle led him to build sets for Coup de Theatre Atlanta. Matthew enjoys these projects but mainly doesn't trust Sally Cone with a circular saw. If it weren't for Matthew, Sally would be missing fingers.
