BEVERLE BLOCH (Co-Artistic Director) is a native Chicagoan. Bloch studied improvisation and performed at Second City while pursuing an undergraduate degree in theatre at Northwestern University. Her anti-war activities took her to Canada in the early seventies, where she worked with a revolutionary puppet troupe (an offshoot of Peter Schumann's Bread and Puppet Theatre), as well as producing, writing, and announcing, public affairs programs for radio and television. Her public affairs series titled "Eye on Winnipeg", earned her the distinction of being the first woman in the news room in Winnipeg Manitoba in 1973. Bloch returned to the States after the Viet Nam War ended, and settled in Denver, Colorado. In Denver, Bloch founded an improvisation-based comedy troupe and was named Denver's "Queen of Comedy" by the arts weekly, Westword. Bloch received a Colorado Humanities Program Grant to fund performances by women in connection with Women's History Week, and an award from the National Endowment from the Humanities to research theatre in 17th century London and France.

Bloch earned two graduate degrees from the University of Denver, including a Ph.D. in Theatre and went on to teach courses in Theatre, Mass Communication and Popular Culture at Bowling Green State University, St. Andrews College in North Carolina and Lewis University in Romeoville, Il. An article based on her dissertation research on activist playwright John Howard Lawson appears in a text titled Experimenters, Rebels, and Disparate Voices: The Theatre of the 1920s Celebrates American Diversity.

Bloch has directed more than 30 theatre productions in the U.S. and abroad. She has adapted and created several original theatre pieces including Gertrude Stein Cubed, Story Theatre - Haitian Tales, and Tall Tale Theatre. She has served as Co-Artistic Director of Theo Ubique Theatre Co. since 2001.

Subsequently he played Harry in the critically acclaimed production of Flora the Red Menace, and was honored with a Jeff Citation Nomination and an After Dark Award for that performance. Next up was Side by Side by Sondheim, also critically lauded, and the recipient of a Jeff Nomination and an After Dark Award for Best Ensemble. He rejoined the cast of Sondheim when the production was chosen for a remount at the Theatre on the Lake.
