Hamlet vs Zombies,

An Albuquerque native, Bryant Turnage moved to Las Vegas at the age of eighteen.  Years later, the self-proclaimed “Desert Rat” discovered seasons other than “Summer” and “Slightly Cooler Summer” when he moved to Springfield, MO in 2004 after receiving his MA in Theatre in MFA in Playwriting at UNLV under the tutelage of the late Davey Marlin-Jones. He began his Springfield theatre career by performing in several shows at many of the local venues in the city and has been lucky enough to count such roles as Prospero in The Tempest, Claudius in Hamlet, Paul in The Christians, Einstein in Picasso at the Lapin Agile, Milet in Is He Dead?, and Puck in Midsummer Night’s Dream among the dozens of plays he has taken part in since finding his way to Missouri.

Also a talented playwright, he is most known for Hamlet vs Zombies: Something is Rotting in the State of Denmark, a play which one a Best Of at the San Francisco fringe.  He also has a ten-minute silent play about Kristallnacht called Shattering Crystal that won an award at the ACTF Region Eight Festival.  And had the pandemic not thrown the world into general disarray, his one-man show about his life as a carny called Anything Behind Be would have been put up at the New York One Act Play Festival. He has seen his share of directing duties as well.  Recently putting up The Real Inspector Hound, and twice having the good fortune to stage Waiting for Godot.  He has also directed numerous productions for Shakespeare at the Columns, including Titus Andronicus and Romeo & Juliet.

And finally, acting as a dramaturg since graduate school, he continues to assist new playwrights to fine tune their work and is thrilled to be a part of DOTS where new and exciting pieces of art can be brought to life and shared with an appreciative audience.

Jeff Jenkins Bio Coming Soon

Hello! Im Reanna Harriss. I live in Ozark with my husband and our two dogs and cat. I love performance art and the outdoors. I also love to spend time with friends and family. I have been performing my whole life and love to have fun on stage. Im so blessed to be apart of this performance.

Shawn Teague played Claudius in the original production of Hamlet v Zombies, 15 years ago. He is excited to be able to return to the role, but even more so because he gets to share the stage with his son, Zach (who was terrified when he first saw the show as a small child).
Shawn has been involved in the Springfield theatre scene for many years. His past roles include Claude Debussy in “Ravel”, Ed Boone in “Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time”, Black Stache in “Peter and the Starcatcher”, and Inspector Hound in “The Real Inspector Hound”.
Shawn also directed “The Gizzard” and “Fosgate: Ferret Loan Officer” for previous DOTS Fringe Festivals. He directed “TJ & Mr. Oaksite”, which is also showing during this year’s festival.

Steve started acting when dinosaurs wore roller skates and Abraham Lincoln was President. When he was 12 he took the role of Nick in A Thousand Clowns. Since then, he’s been in many shows and musicals. He also worked in the Charactor Troupe At Dogpatch USA, and was one of the founders of the Buffalo River Theatre Company, taught drama at NACC, with Fairytale Theatre, and was Ronald Mc Donalds first assistant for ten years. In between that, he worked as a radio dj and wrote a lot of the really corny jokes for Stone Hill Winery.
Quote from the Ronald days, “He’s the clown, I’m everything else!”

Bio coming soon. 

David Everett lives in Aurora, MO. He is the piano accompanist for the Aurora High and Junior High School Choirs and is the choir director/pianist at First Presbyterian Church in Aurora. He has appeared on stage in 20+ productions in several community theatre troupes around southwest Missouri over the last 11 years.

Zach is thrilled to be returning to the DOTS Fringe Festival this year. Even more exciting, Hamlet v. Zombies has been a dream show since he first saw his dad play Claudius in the original cast in 2011. 

Zach can also be seen playing Mr. Oaksite in Ned Wilkinson’s TJ and Mr. Oaksite  during the DOTS 2026 Fringe. 

Zach recently completed the Ozark Tech Welding Program and is looking forward to future shenanigans in other theatre productions.

My name is Katriana cline. I started my acting journey back in high-school where I learned a lot about theater and where I became a Thespian.
