Kim Teevan is best known for her work as a hand model. Nostalgia for the acting career she never had, drove her to the I5 Grapevine to partner with some nefarious gentlemen. Desperate for attention of any kind, when her work at the local truck stop began to slow—she took exit 205. Unable to say the word “no”—a birth defect—she parked at the Mile High Theater. And here she remains…at your service. She is pathologically unable to take herself seriously and has issues with bio writing.
Paul Codiga started writing and producing theater in the early 1980s in San Francisco. The talented young folks who loved performing hung out in The Mission, where they lived on five dollars a day in food, booze, and weed. He helped start Dude Theater, ran Intersection for the Arts for almost a decade, and saw epic theater at Berkeley Rep, the Magic, and Theatre Artaud. Paul moved to LA to see if he could get into TV & Film, where he caught a huge break when his brother, David, introduced him to Don Tardino. A badass who got him into the Union and to Locations. Over the past 23 years, Paul has worked on The Big Lebowski, Oh Brother Where Art Thou?, CSI: MIAMI, Spartan, Sex and the City, Bad Santa, and is currently on Bad Monkey. He’s grateful for the fifth year of our humble backyard theater festival. Thank you, Kim & Peter & Dash & Viv.
Just to get this out of the way, here is how Peter’s last name is pronounced: ch (chin), en, us. Kind of like a sneeze… Peter is a freelance writer, director, actor, teacher, producer and runs The Mile High Theater. He helped produce and co-wrote the feature film In Search of Fellini with Nancy Cartwright. Theatrically, Peter was a founder of The Mountain Shakespeare Festival in Pine Mountain Club as well as Artists Without Nets in Los Angeles and Spectrum Theater Company in San Francisco. He has performed at the Oregon, Berkeley and Kern Shakespeare Festivals as well as Portland Center Stage and has directed in many locations.
