BLAKE PFEIL (Creator/Writer/Himself) is a NYC-based actor/singer/songwriter. He unearthed his debut album Wallpaper in 2014, with its subsequent concert tour The Papering Sessions being hailed by Playbill.com as one of the “Most Unforgettable Theatrical Experiences of 2014.” His unique blend of folk, pop, and musical theatre has headlined in eclectic concert-based pieces, notably at Joe’s Pub, Feinstein's/54 Below (where The BBC, 1970 saw its first workshop), and at Icaro Teatro in Queretaro, Mexico where Blake serves as an artistic associate (& where The BBC, 1970 saw its second workshop). Blake is a finalist for the Wallowitch Award, the Ken Davenport Songwriting Award, and the Coffee Music Project. Blake is also a proud member of AEA, with credits at the Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey, Huntington Theatre Company, New Repertory Theatre, among others. He received his BFA in Musical Theatre from Emerson College, is an alumni of the National YoungArts Foundation, and is currently pursuing his Master's in Arts Entrepreneurship at SUNY Purchase.

She has also assisted at the Roundabout Theater Company as well as The Atlantic, and The Public in conjunction with Waterwell. Sharone also is building PROVA, a training program for actors, where she hopes to help performers find their art and strength and performers, as well as the art in living as a performer. www.schoolofprovanyc.com
