Good Golly, Miss Molly! Molly Livingstone recently read Tina Fey's memoir and has decided that she too will live her life according to the rules of improvisation. Most important rule: "there are no mistakes, only opportunities." And with those words of wisdom she continues to pursue her dreams of comedy in Israel...in English. Molly is the co-founder of the comedy troupe Hahafuch which means "upside-down" or "opposite", both true of daily life in Israel. As well as the big business duties, she takes part in the producing, writing, filming, directing and acting in the group's performances. Her main goals for the future include the group's touring all over Israel and eventually the world, teaching improvisation to locals, international students and tourists alike and showing the world the funny side of Israel. Enough with all the war talk already!

Known to some as Mr. (noun) and to others as the (adj) (noun), Josh Kaplan has been making audiences (verb) for (number) years.   It all started in middle school when each time he got together with his friends, he would make them (verb).  From there the comedy kid went into the business professionally, working for such organizations as (name of gas station chain), (name of weapons manufacturer), and most recently (name of male escort service).  That was cool.  When the heat from the feds got too hot, Josh decided to move across the Atlantic.  Now here in the (adj) city, Josh enjoys long walks on the beach, a cozy night by the fire, and trips to (mysterious yet volatile Middle Eastern countries.)  Josh continues to dazzle audiences with his (adj) improv and out-of-the-box characters.  If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find him, maybe you can hire Josh (explicative verb ending in "ing") Kaplan.

Actress, photographer, wife, mother of four boys and a dog, Debbie Kaye was born and raised in Australia.  She completed her BA degree in theatre and drama, but it was another ten years until she returned to her passion for acting. "My Aussie accent causes some confusion in being understood by both Israelis and my fellow American actors," Debbie admits. "But it's easy for me to be funny.  People laugh at my Aussie accent even if they have no idea what I'm saying!"

Rafi Poch is a theater director/actor and believes fully that the methodology developed within the parameters of improvisational theater, i.e., going with the flow and being ready for anything, are excellent work ethics for theater and beyond. Originally from Canada, and a not-so-recent immigrant to Israel, Rafi sincerely believes that life is live theater, so why not laugh about it?  Hair is such an onerous and plentiful *excrement that Rafi is happy that his physiology has created enough hemoglobin in his system to eradicate most of his hair follicles. Either that or he is gaining in life experience!
