The Cast

Deborah Sale Butler Deborah Sale Butler has a deep love for political satire.  She began lampooning the first Bush Administration as a stand-up comic back in the 80s, but her performing career began long before that.  For nearly 20 years, Deborah has worked across the country as a stage actress and voice-over artist (you can find her on many of your favorite CD-ROM games). When not satirizing current events, she produces radio commercials with her own company, Sale Butler Studios.

Gary Grossman began his stage career at 14 in "the King and I" where he shaved his head, an omen of things to come.
