Ryan Parker Knox
Ryan has been a board member of Gremlin since December of 2002, having performed in Accomplice, Forever Plaid, More Ten-Minute Four Play, The Venetian Twins, Climax: The Final Four-Play, Two Rooms, Orphans, Wild, Double Play, The Crucible, Wait Until Dark, A Devil Inside, and The Boys Next Door. Ryan graduated from the University of South Dakota in 1999 with a BFA in Acting and spent six summers at the Black Hills Playhouse in western South Dakota, which is where he became friends with Carl many many years ago. It has been nearly four years since Ryan arrived in the Twin Cities and has performed in over 25 productions for several different companies in town including Park Square, Starting Gate Productions and Theatre in the Round. Ryan is a ridiculous sports fan, and hopes that since Red Sox fans got their wish, it will be his turn this coming season, having Chicago Cubs blue course through his veins.

Carl Schoenborn
A founding member of Gremlin, Carl serves as Technical Director because he builds good. Previous acting credits include Lend Me A Tenor, Wait Until Dark, Bus Stop, Don't Dress For Dinner, The Odd Couple, Run For Your Wife, The Nerd, Serenading Louie, and Forever Plaid. Carl also appeared in all three Ten-Minute Four Play Fringe Festival installments. Carl has also appeared for Actor's Theatre, Bloomington Civic Theatre, and Mounds View Community Theatre. He has worked extensively backstage everywhere from The Walker Art Center to the Children's Theatre Company, with whom Carl has toured twice. He, too, went to St. Olaf where he met Casey and Pete, and he, too, is from South Dakota where he met Ryan in their high school days. Carl is the glue that holds this theatre together, and the nail-puller that tears us apart.
