Liz Hayden (Performer/Education Coordinator) received a BA from Southern Oregon and an MFA from Northern Illinois University before moving to L.A. where she taught Meisner technique at the Piero Dusa Acting Conservatory and managed an arts camp for children in Santa Monica. After a couple of years she decided that the sun was just too constant and yearned for the Northwest air, rain, & pine. Since moving to Portland she has acted with Mt Hood Rep, Profile Theatre, Shaking the Tree, and currently her heart belongs to Hand2Mouth. Liz teaches drama through Northwest Children's Theatre, Lakewood Performing Arts Center, Profile Theatre, and manages Hand2Mouth’s Hand in Hand Theatre Partnership. Highlights of her carreer include acting in Ireland at the Gaiety School, working with Studio Kah from Budapest – trained by Katherine Gately and directed by Chris Markle, and recent work with Polish artist Luba Zarembinska in From a Dream to a Dream.

Jeb Pearson (Performer/Video Production)
has had an on again, off again affair with Theater since he was a child. Eventually his curiosity got the better of him and he wandered off to other mediums for what seemed like good. His experience as a filmmaker finally led him back to live performance, and he was drafted into the Sowelu Ensemble in 2004. Having witnessed several Hand2mouth pieces, he was quite excited to join them last year for their collaboration with Polish Director Luba Zarembiska in From a Dream to a Dream. Continuing on with Repeat After Me, he is convinced that he has now found a second home to play in. A workaholic by nature, he remains a core member at Sowelu where his duties include Performance, Stage and Media Design. He is currently in pre-production for Sowelu's filming of Luke Heyerman's The Hero and is producing the VAT: Very American Theater series at Portland Community Media (a video showcase for new theater works). In his spare time, Jeb keeps busy as a cartoonist. Poor Traits, a collection of his single-panel work, is slated for release this summer through Prehensile Pictures.
