<b>ALEXANDRA SILBER</b><br><br> Golde at 15.

<b>KATIE LADNER</b>- In college, I played Tracy Turnblad. During the scene where she finally makes it onto the Corny Collins show, just as I'm about to say "And I'm Tracy!..." I tripped on Link's feet and fell onto my stomach. But that didn't stop me from continuing the scene. I spun onto my side like a break dancer, leaned my head on my hand for a pose, then proceeded to jump up and finished the dance. I did have a bruise the size of Canada after that. Nothing like live theatre.

<b>KENDAL HARTSE and JASON MICHAEL SNOW</b><br><br> <b>Kendal</b> - This picture is a good example of why people would ask us, "are you dating or are you brother and sister?" We'd usually say "both." Also, please note that we are wearing almost the same amount of makeup. The show is a summer stock production of <i>Chicago</i>.<br><br> <b>Jason</b> - Yes, notice my chest is painted to give me "muscles." I always assumed it made me look sexy, especially with that sparkly top. When in reality it just makes you think... god what an unfortunate, sun-blotched, virgin.
