Chris Dubé
Chris has been improvising for 15 years. He studied improv at the Magnet Theater in NYC. He is a member of the two-person improv group, BOOP!, that performs regularly at the Sea Tea Comedy Theater in Hartford. He is a member of the improv group Fairfield of Dreams, based in Fairfield County.

Glenn Packman
Glenn Packman performed his first improv show in 1982 and never quite recovered from the experience. He's been affiliated with ComedySportz, the renowned, worldwide short-form improv company since 1986 and currently performs with their New York City team at the Broadway Comedy Club in Manhattan. His other improv credits include The Industrial Strength Comedy Company (known for their worldwide tour of Manchester, CT), Time is Funny (Drew University, Madison, NJ), Axila! (defeated soundly in a cage match in Hartford, CT), and now Fairfield of Dreams. He's done a ton of other stage work locally and in Los Angeles, was in a couple of commercials, and was featured in a really bad made-for-PBS film that he flatly refuses to identify. By day, Glenn is a licensed residential real estate appraiser (i.e. the guy who tells you how much your house is worth... or not.) He's a cat person, enjoys fine cuisine, and still thinks the phrase is 'for all intensive purposes."
Kerstin Rao
Kerstin brings stealthy wit and vulnerability to our shows. She’s performed since 2010 with local troupes Funny Side Up and Axila! before joining Fairfield of Dreams. She studied at UCB NYC, The Magnet, and Second City in Chicago. She’s performed as a storyteller with the We Rise Storytelling Collective and Story Barn: Win Some, Lose Some. Her 6-minute hand-illustrated talk connecting her midlife dating adventures to The Princess Bride got laughs in Bridgeport: Pechakucha: Buttercup 2.0: Dating As You Wish. Kerstin retired from classroom teaching and started two businesses: Vivid Cottage offers her artwork on fine stationery and gifts, and Curate Your Mate provides Kerstin’s kind and encouraging dating mindset coaching. Life is short - laugh it up!
