L.A. Weekly called Marié Lake, “one of the best new comedic actresses around.”
“Days of Our Lives” ditzy, yet elegant blonde Marie Lake satirizes her life as a trophy wife, the work force, New Age Gurus and the trials of being a “white girl” teaching in the hood. Lake, also a singer/dancer, is a rising well-known performer in comedy and burlesque shows in Los Angeles and San Francisco. A graduate of the Groundlings, she appears regularly at the Improv on Melrose, the Improv Olympic West, and Second City, Los Angeles. Television credits include “Days,” “The Bold and the Beautiful” and Comedy Central. http://www.funnyblonde.wordpress.com
Treating us all to fun choreographed dance numbers are the LA Wranglers. In 2003 a group of friends who shared a love of music and dance gathered at the Rawhide Bar in Southern California. Shortly thereafter, Los Angeles' premier dance group, The LA Wranglers was formed.
The group's founder and choreographer, Rick Dominguez stated that since then the group has been building their repertoire and performing throughout the Los Angeles metropolitan area. Combining traditional country-western with Latin, hip-hop, and modern dance moves, the LA Wranglers' high-energy choreography thrills crowds wherever they entertain.
Returning to serve as Master of Ceremonies for 6th year; actor, writer and AIDS Activist, MC MysteriesByMike.com. Hennessey has been doing Stand Up and acting for over 16 years, entertaining at over 10,000 live events. He is the Nations # 1 Martin Short impersonator; as well as in the words of Michelle Pfiefer, "The greatest children's performer in the country." Hennessey can be seen in the Gay Romantic Comedy "I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry".
