Nathan Bean actor, writer, performer, father; provokes dramatic, slow clapping with his karaoke rendition of Otis Redding’s “My Lover’s Prayer.” He’s calmer than you are, dude.

Bond Huberman writer, editor, teacher; makes comments seem funny by saying them at a higher VOLUME. Can reach things on the top shelf thanks to her very long arms.

Jessica Day writer, actor, exquisite note-taker; memorizes poetry with digital precision and can recite the same back to you with electric fervor. Her DVD collection will make you jealous.

Carrie A. Purcell poet, musician, composer, teacher; can nanny you under the table—and still be standing long enough to bake an effing delicious pie.

“Not just a theatre company.”

The Heroes was founded in early 2009 by a group of young theatre artists, writers, dancers and more who set out to write and produce an original play in Seattle.

Since then, The Heroes has evolved into a laboratory for new work and original events conceived by its dedicated, full-time volunteer board members and associate artists, who stress collaboration across disciplines as a core value.

As a result, The Heroes have produced reading series, short plays, a fashion show and other interdisciplinary presentations that bring together audiences as diverse as the artists involved.

A designer working with fight choreographers, a prose writer studying rappers and a choreographer contemplating natural disaster through tap dance – these are just a few of the strange mixtures that have resulted in wonderful, risk-taking work that, in our humble opinion, has done a small part to make our community a better and more exciting place for artists to work.

Danny Brylow Opera singer, administrator, and all-around 'theater artist'; (not so) secretly loves nerdy things like Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?
