Alana Atterbury
Alana Atterbury is the Associate Director of HR for Theatre Development Fund (TDF) a not-for-profit arts organization whose mission is to make theatre and the arts accessible to all. Throughout her career she has worn many hats and has been fortunate enough to have worked in several different industries: Museums, International Education, Corporate Finance and Administration and presently in Arts Administration.​

Jim Cairl
Jim Cairl served as the VP of Digital Media and Creative Services at Playbill for 14 years. He has been performing in and around NYC for over 20 years (and sometimes even Chicago and LA.) In that time, he has choreographed a luchadore style wrestling match between Lust and Guilt for the NY Fringe Festival, fought Maid Marion at the Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival and nearly lost World War 2 in Los Angeles.
His play Madame Tellier (adapted from the Guy de Maupassant short story) was selected and performed at Theater for the New City's "Dream Up!"
He also won on the television quiz show Jeopardy! and is happy to be a ringer for your team at the next pub quiz.
​
He is married and lives in Westchester in a messy house with 3 children – but not 4 children, because Vic said he would have to win the lottery for that to happen.
