CAST

Anna

Anna Fishbeyn (Artemis) was an accomplished child actor and singer in the former Soviet Union, where she was accepted to the prestigious Moscow Theater before she and her family immigrated to America.  She began performing at various venues in NYC while she was completing her MFA in fiction at New School University.  In January 2009 she wrote and performed a solo show called, Conversations With My Breasts, at Cornelia Street Café.  Ms. Fishbeyn wrote and starred in her second one-woman solo-show, Sex in Mommyville, at the Flea Theater in August, 2010.  Stewart Lewis of WCBS News described Fishbeyn as "a comic genius….perky spitfire" and Clifford Lee Johnson III of Backstage Review stated, "Fishbeyn has charm to burn, as well as charisma, intelligence and a wholesome sexiness." Ms. Fishbeyn was continuously invited to perform the show in a variety of venues throughout NYC that same year, including the famed La Mama Experimental Theater Club, the JCC, Stuyvesant Town, and the Mamapalooza Conference.

Ms. Fishbeyn transformed Sex in Mommyville into an ensemble piece for its premiere at Manhattan Repertory Theatre in the summer of 2011.  She continues to perform in the show in the role of Artemis.

Jeffery

Jeffrey Milstein (Poseiden) I have been in the theatre and doing films for the past 18 months. Being on stage and in front of the camera has truly enriched my life. In my last play, I was a child psychologist. The play was called Lost In the Field and it played in Boonton, New Jersey.

Many thanks to my wife, Elyse, for putting up with my crazy hours.

Shanika

Shanika Lachelle (Muse 1) is a New Jersey native (born in Virginia Beach, VA) who has had a heart for the Arts since the age of 5. A beautiful, young talent with a promising future! Surprisingly, Shanika did not accept her passion for the arts until her sophomore year at Howard University, taking an elective class "Intro to Acting" with the wonderful, Kim Bey. This class not only rekindled her love for arts, but made it more clear that she was a natural and acting was her gift!!!!

Graduating from Howard University with a Business Degree, Shanika was ready for the real world, but not so confident in the world of Theatre, Film, and TV. So she journeyed to Atlanta and landed a plethora gigs behind the scenes with feature films and sitcoms with powerhouses: Lionsgate Films, Tyler Perry Studios, Sony Pictures, Warner Brothers, and TBS to learn the business. Shanika Lachelle had her first film debut in the feature film 'Preacher's Kid' and is steady in pursuit of a career as an actress. She is definitely one to keep on your radar!
