About Us

	Scared Scriptless, the Group Scared Scriptless has been performing since May 2006. In addition to their many Canton-area appearances (First Friday, the Player's Guild Theatre, the Kathleen Howland Theatre, Lions Lincoln Theatre), they have taught several workshops and classes to groups such as Leadership Stark County, Leadership Tuscarawas County, Dover Middle and High Schools, GlenOak High School drama groups. They have raised thousands of dollars for local non-profit organizations, including the Massillon Museum, the Walsh University Museum Studies Program, the Player's Guild Theatre of Canton, and the historic Lions Lincoln Theatre in Massillon.
	Andrew "Fat Boy" Knode Andrew holds the distinction as the only man to travel around the world in a hot air balloon made from Spiderman bed sheets, while chewing 64 packs of Big League Chew, and balancing a half empty carton of 2% milk on his head, this past year.  Most recently, Andrew was asked by Bruce Cambell to serve as his acting coach while he prepares for his upcoming roll as King Lear for the Royal Shakespeare Company.  In Andrew's free time he enjoys laying bricks walls that lead nowhere and digging ditches that seemingly have no bottom.  Mr. Knode would like to thank the Wicked Witch of the West for all her love and support, and also his pet Gorilla, Gunther, without whom none of this would be possible.
	Ryan "Cheese & Crackers" Lynn After years of tireless dedication to the field of genetic manipulation, the brave scientists of the nineteen-eighties stood back to behold their crime against the laws of the Earth. Standing at a staggering six feet and weighing just over one-hundred-and-fifty pounds, Ryan had been born! Watch as Ryan flails his arms ridiculously! Tremble as he speaks in multiple accents over the course of one scene! Be amazed as everything you thought you knew about improv proves to be exactly wrong! Ryan! Shot in that technical marvel, Ryan-o-scope! The Real Ryan Lynn Ryan Lynn works for Massillon Cable TV as a Technical Support Representative. When he's not fixing PC problems he likes to spend his time working out and creating art for local shows and events. A budding painter and general nuisance, Ryan collects old monsters films and loves a warm breeze.
	Mandy "Strumpet of the Month" Pond Mandy Pond used to be known as "Mandy Altimus" but discarded that identity when she discovered that "Altimus" meant elephant pooper scooper. She is the founder of the "Mandy Pond Museum, Aquarium, Zoo, and Historic Village" in Nowheresville, Illinois. Mandy Pond Day is celebrated every September 2. Unfortunately, it was mistakenly written down as "Labor Day" in the official government record and everyone seems to have forgotten its awesome significance- the celebration of Mandy and all her perfection. The Real Mandy Altimus Pond Mandy Altimus Pond, now the archivist for the Massillon Museum, began her career at the Museum in 2004 as a collections intern. She is also a filmmaker, producing works for the Museum such as "The Legacy of Steel" (2004), "Adaptations" (2006), and "The Greatest Generation" (2008). She co-wrote and directed the recreation of the lost film from 1923, "Prodigal Daughters," for her senior honors thesis in 2005. Mandy has been performing in improv groups since 1999, mainly with Kent Stark's Stark Raving Mad. She is married to fellow Scared Scriptless performer Kevin Pond, whom she met at auditions in 2006.
	Kevin "Fish Are Dying In The" Pond Kevin was never good at writing about himself. He learned to read from a band of traveling minstrels. They also taught him the ways of love, life, and how to make a pretty dang good martini. The minstrels decided to adopt Kevin. He was only 24 years old (this was last Tuesday after all). Once while on the road, the traveling band was fallen upon by a band of hedonistic brigands. Kevin learned a lot more from them. The brigands called themselves "Scared Scriptless" and he's been with them ever since.

	Kaylene "Extra Spicy Mc" Williams Kaylene “Seashell” Williams was discovered at the age of 16 by local authorities while stealing hermit crabs from various souvenir shops on the boardwalk in Ocean City, Maryland. Her charges also included “public indecency” since all she was wearing was a small seashell attached to her back by a string of seaweed. It was later determined that she had been raised by a large clan of hermit crabs from the time she was 2, and she was simply trying to save her “family members” from being sold as novelty pets. Kaylene’s birth parents were eventually found living in Aspen and admitted that, in the summer of 1976, they were pretty messed up on “magic mushrooms” and had left Kaylene on the beach because they believed she was an angry mermaid who needed to be near saltwater. Kaylene enjoys performing improv comedy because it is the only place in which her inappropriate behavior is somewhat productive and doesn’t lead to more arrests. A shout out to Mommy Crab and also to her boo, T-Crab. (R.I.P. Trigger Crab who was killed in a jellyfish float-by in 2006, much respect.) Kaylene loves her crabs.
	Scared Scriptless Baby If all the members of Scared Scriptless combined their insanity and had a baby, this is what it would look like.
