"Da' Pimp and Frank" - Liem Michael Doan

Growing up on the tough streets of Vietnam, Liem thought he could use some of that ethos to good use playing these roles, especially "Da’ Pimp".   Moving to Southern California as a child, he studied acting in college and is a graduate of the two-year acting program at the Joanne Baron & D.W. Brown Acting Studio in Santa Monica.  He has performed in theatres in the LA area, including “Birch Hollow” at the Long Beach Playhouse and “Deadline” at the Jewel Box Theatre in Hollywood.  Liem played the role of Father Michael in his first feature, “Dust of Life”, a film about the Asian-American gangsta life, which premiered in November 2009, and which the LA Times described as “Poignant…tough and touching.”

Michele-Gabriela Sosa
Gabriela’s musical career began in the Republic of Panama , where she trained at the National Conservatory of Music and at Teresa Mann Ballet Academy . Her south o’ the border credits include, Jesus Christ Superstar, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and her own piece, Don Panzote.  A scholarship to the renowned American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco , impelled Gabriela to leave her native land and a teaching job at Lee’s Strasberg Studio brought her to LA.  Since arriving in Los Angeles , Gabriela has been a newscaster onUnivision’s KMEX, a TV & Film producer, a Kung-Fu stunt performer, and, of course an actor. She recently completed her first feature with a leading role, 666: The Beginning of the End. Her most recent play, The Father by August Strindberg, was postponed because her portrayal of the conniving, murderous wife, actually sent the actor playing her husband to the hospital.  While her co-star’s heart recovers, Gabriela is excited to portray Michele in Rehab: The Musical, which will be Gabriela’s musical debut in the U.S.

Shirley- Cheri Johnson 
Cheri is thrilled to be portraying the deliciously dark 'Shirley' in Rehab! The Musical! As a person who has 'been around the rooms' throughout her life, she feels a certain connection with this piece. The freedom given to the actors during the rehearsal process to explore and create larger than life addicts was especially fun and challenging. Thanks to Helene for trusting her with this part. Other roles you may have seen Cheri perform in recently were 'Tudi' in American Grind at Lyric Hyperion, 'Ruby' in Getting Out at Lyric Hyperion, and 'Maggie' in Trailerville at Moving Arts. As always, she thanks her lord and savior, Cali-the-Magical-Foster-Cat, for getting her thru the hard times. And of course, the bottle... ;)
