Aubrey Mozino is an actor from the ‘burbs of Philadelphia who is officially making her producing debut with “Live in 5″. After discovering she hated her dream school (NYU’s Tisch School for Acting) she began studying with Bill Esper at the William Esper Studio. Still desiring the validation that comes with a very expensive piece of paper that says “You’ve Graduated!” Aubrey transferred to NYU’s Gallatin School, she crafted her own acting major and producing minor by getting credit for her training at Esper and taking various supplemental classes at NYU. Since graduation, Aubrey has worked on two feature films, WHAT GOES UP (with Hilary Duff, Olivia Thirlby, Steve Coogan and Josh Peck) and TRIPLE DOG (where she sports three different hairstyles-including bald!), did 6 episodes as a Hippie waitress in a time warp storyline on ONE LIFE TO LIVE and learned how to do a non-sissy pushup at boot camp with the other plebes preparing for Disney’s ANNAPOLIS.  Some of her favorite roles on stage have been when she played a hot zombie looking for love in MY DATE WITH A ZOMBIE and a seductive slotmachine in a New Play Flowcase. She’s also an active member of the theatre company, The Collective (http://www.thecollective-ny.org). When she’s not acting she’s eating and being the annoying person snapping food porn photos in a restaurant. (Need NYC dinner recs? E-mail me!) www.aubreymozino.com
Ashley Hedrick was a full-time producer in NYC when, inspired by Zach Braff and Tina Fey, she quit to pursue acting so one day she could merge the two. LIVE IN 5 is the first conception of that idea. She graduated from the professional actors training program at the William Esper studio where she studied under the tutelage of William Esper. She also has a B.A from the University of Pittsburgh. Some of her stage roles include a tormented teenager in a dysfunctional family in Marisa Marquez’s GATED, and a tormented teenager in a dysfunctional family in BE AGGRESSIVE. To shake things up she plays a war veteran with brain damage in SEA MONSTER directed by Gray Miller. She has also been seen dining at a restaurant in 30 ROCK, and cheering at a basketball game on SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE. When needing inspiration she turns to classic films such as All The Right Moves (starring Tom Cruise) and Slap Shot (starring Paul Newman), which were both shot in her beloved hometown, Johnstown, Pennsylvania. Ashley is an active member of The Collective (thecollective-ny.org). When she’s not working she is dreaming about travelling! www.ashleyhedrick.com
Rachelle Wintzen’s professional career began at age 15 as a dancer where she trained intensely in Canada and later NYC with top professionals such as 90% of the choreographers on “So You Think You Can Dance” in ballet, jazz and hip hop. She has had the opportunity to work with major recording artists such as Sean Paul, Wyclef Jean, DMX, and Next, to name (drop) a few. You might have seen her in appearences on BET, MuchMusic, VH1, MTV, CTV and Canada’s Urban Music Fest. She has also worked as a principal dancer with noted dance companies in Montreal and Toronto, and in NYC with the Fate Dance Company.

After a gnarly injury ended Rachelle’s dance career, she thought her luck couldn’t get any worse and decided to defy the odds by taking on a career that has a 1% success rate! Rachelle trained for 2 years with William Esper at the William Esper studio.

Within her first year after graduation she starred in the off-off Broadway play “The Lesson”, a Garnier Fructis commercial, Gossip Girl and Law and Order to name (drop) a few. She is signed with Cunnigham Escott Slevin and Doherty.

Despite all this Rachelle still finds time to dabble as a bartender and cocktail waitress.
Heather Lawson is a very special person, so you are reading a very special bio. In fact, instead of creating a boring bio with, like, plays and schools and blahblahblah on it, she would rather just list a few reasons why she is so special. #1. Her mother says so. #2. She peed her pants in elementary school, and she was ok with it then, and she’s ok with it now. #3. Jesus loves her. He proved it by allowing her to pass her driver’s liscense test. #4. She believes in New York City, and loves its people. This is why she is lobbying for a Chick-fil-A location in Manhattan. New Yorkers deserve a good chicken sandwich. Write your senator. #5. She loves to act and is grateful everyday for the privilage…..so that talent scout who asked me “what makes you special?” can suck it, and call my mother as a reference. Or Jesus. (Because traditionalists need love too. Training: Second City in Chicago, William Esper, University of Alabama, y’all. New York and Chicago theatre credits, Southeastern tour, national tour. Several films, including one produced by Seinfeld director, Tom Cherones. Some fave roles: Maria in Sound of Music, Carol in Oleanna, Miranda in The Tempest, Myra in Hayfever, Lisa in Private Eyes, Magenta in Rocky Horror.) She’s most happy to be here, though, in the moment and having fun with a great cast and crew. Heather <3's www.menwholooklikekennyrogers.com
