Elizabeth Price (Dona Inez) is a student in the college.

Claudia Fernandez (Dona Clara) is a first-time actress excited to explore the contours of Spanish Golden Age Comedy vis-a-vis the lens of a certain Vietnam-Era 'je ne sais quoi.' She believes this play is a critique of the Spanish Monarchy's repression of personal liberty, and she hopes that the audience will engage in thoughtful introspection about the play's relevance to contemporary media, including the Instagram Influencer-Industrial Complex. 

Samira Shabsogh (Dona Petra) is a fourth year Economics major. She enjoys not being "your basic Econ major", shaming people, and being better than you. She is excited to expand her limited high school repertoire of playing noblewomen by playing an older, matriarchal noblewoman.

Catherine McNally (Quintana/Ossorio) is a student in the college. Although she grew up enjoying the Boston theater scene, this is her first stage role. Playing both Ossario and Quintana, Catherine is excited to explore the role of a servant in 17th century Spanish society. Please come to the play.

Gabriel Rourke (Don Martin) is a fourth year Math and Economics major in the college. However, he is also minoring in Cinema and Media Studies to show that he does in fact have a soul. This is his third UT production, having previously worked on Hamlet (Marcellus/Player 1/Clown 2) and anther production which he would rather not talk about. He is a massive Coldplay fan and is currently very upset that the sound designer has not included Viva La Vida in the preshow playlist.

Lily Grossbard (Caramanchel) is a fourth-year Rugby and Coffee Shop major. This is their first UT show! In their spare time, they pal around with the bros, drink beer, and occasionally enjoy a good gender-bending farce, bitch.
