Rachael Stone 

Actor - "Becca"

 I was born and raised (for the first half of my life) one hour east of La La Land, until my parents said, "We're moving."   Now, here I am.  You can often find me stuck in traffic on either the 405 or 5 freeway heading to or from an acting audition or simply trying to get from one spot to another spot in Los Angeles (not an easy task or speedy task.)
  Before training as an actress,  I was a ballet dancer and was part of many different ballet productions from ages 6-16.  I attended Summer programs with the American Ballet Theatre JKO School in New York and in Orange Country and with the San Francisco Ballet School.   I even got the opportunity to dance on stage with American Ballet Theatre during their world premiere of Sleeping Beauty at The Segestrom Center in Orange County.  It was very exciting.   At 16, I took my first acting class and fell in love with it.   I've been acting ever since.  I hope to continue to grow as an actress and I am loving every step of the way.

Jasmin Singer

Actor - "Jen"

Jasmin Singer is the author of the memoir, Always Too Much and Never Enough, the co-host of the long-running Our Hen House podcast, and the Digital Director and love columnist for VegNews Magazine. She was named a "40 Under 40" by The Advocate (which is a relief, because she's 39 and a half); has been seen in lots of thisses and thats including The Dr. Oz Show, a bunch of documentaries about veganism, and a comedy show entitled "Mortified" in which she reads from her middle school journal; and she has a Tedx talk entitled "Compassion Unlocks Identity" that she really, really wants you to watch. She lives between Los Angeles and New York City and does a lot of important things, as well as some completely frivolous things. 

Moore Rhys

Actor - "Zoe"

Moore Rhys is a passionate vegan of 25 years, mom to Lucy the dog and stepmom to Stella the cat, real life partners with her movie wife Jasmin, and a prolific sewer of bow ties (as well as other crafts that dismantle toxic masculinity). She grew up in Washington, DC—as a professional performer, not politician. Her strong belief in prison abolition directed her to contribute her time and talents to the California Coalition for Women Prisoners. Years ago, Moore had enough of the misogynistic world of screenwriting, and embraced her career in the field of human research ethics. In addition, she and Jasmin are working on creating a really fun musical about a dead dog. 

Robin S. Roth

Actor - "Marti" 

A real-life Nana originally from Queens, NY, Robin is thrilled to be part of “Bra Mitzvah.”  She has loved theater since her debut as a witch in the 4th-grade Thanksgiving play, and will soon be seen in “The Elephant Man” at El Portal Theatre in North Hollywood.  Her favorite roles have run the gamut from con artist/bank robber to post-apocalyptic warlord, with many mothers in between.  Feature films include “Jessie The Golden Heart,” “You Should Meet My Son 2!” “Goin’ Around” and “Alien Anthropologists.” IMDB.me/robinroth   Instagram @rothrobin24
