Gail Hebert (Liz Mackenzie) feels she has come full circle. At the age of five, her mother would bring her to the Market and she would sing for the merchants. A show biz veteran of 50 years, her favorite roles include Reverend Mother (Nunsense)—for which she won the 2004 Portland Critics' Award for Best Actress in a Musical—the Nurse (Romeo & Juliet), Mrs. Paroo (The Music Man), Marguerite (Dearly Departed) and Maggie Smith (42nd Street). She's been in commercials, as well as off-Broadway and may be remembered as GeGe Boombah with The New Deal Rhythm Band back in the early 70's. Look for her sitting in with various bands as she pursues, once again, her nightclub career. |

She has been performing (on and offstage) since she was a child, in her hometown of Walla Walla, WA (yes, the onion place).

When she’s not acting, writing, directing children’s musicals, behind a camera, in front of a camera, editing, teaching, being a mom, reading, listening to music, watching movies, looking for parking, or checking her Myspace (come on you have one too!) she can be found avoiding housework. |

Keith Olsen (Guitar, Bass, Ukulele, Trombone, Drum, Additional Vocals)
Keith has been busking at Pike Place Market since the early 90s. He is well-known for his versatility and may be seen playing mandolin or bass with various ensembles or performing solo. His lush chord changes and multilinguistic lyrics cross ethnic and cultural lines. Keith is also known as Guadalajara because he frequently sings whole sets entirely in Spanish. He may at times also be heard singing in French, German, Basque, and even English. He currently plays guitar and sings with the group Bella Musica and plays bass with the groups Acoustic Snacks and the Tommy Dean Timewarp. He finds it strange that self-written bios are traditionally written in the third person but is fond of tradition. He is delighted to make his theatrical debut with The North Arcade. |
