Alexander Lapinski says: "Oh yeah, you try to memorize 600 lines and perform them with only half a working face and one hand. And do that after you've been thrown on your back and elbow and 'killed' a dozen times in a week. My sarcasm aside, I hope my performance is good enough to be enjoyed and I thank everyone who has seen this and all these other plays I've stuck myself in. I'm not sure I'll be in another full production with this company so I'll say that joining it was the best decision I made at Penn and has provided me with friends, support, fun, and full recognition that I can play 'crazy' pretty well. None of this would have been possible without the kindness of people like Sammy Mack, whose friendship and open ears have meant worlds to me, and my little Sophie, who is not so little anymore. After being her grandfather, father, and various other relations, she is the only person to ever convince me that being a father might not be such a bad idea. Though if she is any indication, anyone who messes with my future daughter better be well armed. As my mom would have said, 'I'll take them apart and put 'em together different.' This show, like most of my endeavors, is dedicated to my mom, the source of so much of my strength, my humor and my love."

This is Adam Corbett's third show with Underground Shakespeare. He has been the prince who would become king of Scotland, Brick Tamland with a backpack in Navarre, and is currently TitusLite in Ancient Rome. While he neither kills nor is killed, he is a Jedi with a thing against flies. For someone who advances the plot not a whit, he sure talks a lot. And he has dogs, m'lords and ladies. Indeed he does. What else would expect of the veterinary tribune?

Kenny Pearce has never played an angry character before. His performance has frightened a few of his friends, who are now exceedingly glad that he doesn't get angry in real life.

Sophia Mayne is the coolest eighth grader in the Company. This is probably because she doesn't act like an eighth grader. Says one Company member: "she's probably the most mature of us all." Sophie, now taller than many senior members of the company, looks forward to the day when she will no longer be relegated to the part of "boy."

Stephanie Craven is a senior and a classics major who spends her time trying to expound upon the literary and historical references in this play to no one in particular. She suffers from a chronic addiction to sour gummi worms and 85% lindt chocolate, as well as a deluge of greek homework. Titus is her first role ever since her stunning performance as the cowardly lion in camp riverbend's production of "the wizard of oz" in 1993. Shout out to Meredith, baby sister and actress extraordinaire, for 15 minutes of line running, 3 hours of illicit movie watching, and 18 years of fabulousness.

Jillian Ivey doesn't get much sleep. She is using her onstage death in this play as an opportunity for a downstage left powernap. She apologizes if her corpse begins to snore.

Jean Lee is new to the Company. She enjoys long walks on the beach, being tied up (not that way, you sicko!), and getting frenetic calls from Sammy, Gaelle, and Laird on load-in day.

Jenn Rainey loves sewing. And ironing. And junk food. Most of all, Jen loves using these three things as legitimate excuses to make lots of noise during rehearsal. Jenn hails from the great state of Texas. So don't mess with her, y'all hear?

Jeremy James's accent isn't actually real. You see, a few years ago Jeremy suffered a severe blow to the head during a rousing game of hide-and-seek (somebody didn't want to be sought), thus injuring the primary language centers in his brain. In reality, Jeremy hails from Tupelo, Mississippi. The ghastly pale skin and sunken eyes, however? Those are all him.

David Nguyen, age 17, is from the Philadelphia area and currently in the College of Arts and Sciences. He is very excited to be apart of Underground Shakespeare Company's production of Titus Andronicus. David has been acting solely Shakespeare now for over four years. His most recent roles include Oswald, in King Lear, Malvolio in Twelfth Night, and Lord Say in Taming of the Shrew. Thus far though, the role that David has enjoyed playing most is that of Leontes from A Winter's Tale.

Look! Up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! No, it's Chip Boisvert! This is truly the only explanation for Chip, who is currently performing in his second of three plays this semester, while simultaneously applying to top-tier law schools and participating in an active Greek life (not the kind that involves pederasty). When not saving babies, old women, and unreasonably adorable dogs from burning buildings, Chip likes to lecture fellow Company members about the superiority of beer to wine, when fine dining is concerned. Chip survives without sleep.

Diana Zalewski is in back-to-back tech weeks. Diana is tired. Diana is also tall and reaches things for the shorter members of the Company. We love Diana. (Not just because she's tall. But it helps.)

Christopher Johnson is a sophomore in Wharton. Despite popular belief, the strange accent does not come from any place of Earth, nor does any other member of his family possess it. The leading theory involves Chris being highly inbred after becoming his own Grandfather (Time Travel Experiment gone Wrong). Playing the part of Chiron, Chris continues his trend of progressively more stupid and evil characters. Still, although Chiron's heart is bitter, his bones prove quite sweet.

Robert Lubow is a charming young man with a heart of gold... or at least gold plating. After a year and a half hiatus from acting, he has returned to the stage to once again play a character that has to speak latin. In the last show he was in, Pericles: Prince of Tyre, he played some old king who's name no one could pronouce. Now he's thrilled to be playing a rapist/dinner. His new favorite word is 'spleenful' and he will try his very hardest to throw it into as many conversations as possible.

Riff Vianais excited to act in his second USC production. Riff would especially like to thank his parents, close friends, and the INS for allowing him to stay in the country/overlooking his presence in the country. Riff aspires someday for an onstage death.

Gaelle Gouraige does not go willingly.

Sammy Mack has been a member of the company for 3 years. This is her first experience directing a full-length play. She thinks Shakespeare is cool.

Laird Edge sees the sun set and then rise again almost every night. And thats when he gets to bed early.

P. Alexis Nguyen can be seen on campus carrying large sticks used in martial arts. Alexis is one hundred percent proficient with all sorts of power tools that can do serious bodily harm to those who are less skilled than she. Alexis has more upper body strength than many men twice her size. In short, you don?t want to mess with Alexis.

Katie Kuhl was a little intimidated by making lots of violent and blood-related props. she is considering standing by the door to the rooftop lounge in her old bear suit to hug people after the show.
