PENNI GOULD (Executive Producer/Vocalist) Penni has been singing and performing since childhood. She created and developed Mélange Theatre, ?Live? to provide Philadelphia with a stress-free, supportive venue to encourage talented entertainers to thrive and grow. ?Mélange? is Philadelphia?s first ?performer-centered? variety series.

BETSY SPIVAK (Singer Songwriter) Betsy plays piano and guitar, a little violin, some trumpet and a teeny bit of trombone. She sings and writes beautifully written songs that are sometimes about subjects that are difficult to listen to?but you want to anyway?because it?s something different-and in this day and age, different is hard to come by.

CORBIN ABERNATHY (Opera/Broadway) Corbin is a dream, walking. His lilting counter-tenor voice will enchant and surprise you. Then he?ll shock you with his versatility! He can ?Broadway belt? with the best of them. Corbin has been appearing in many well-known venues throughout the city (including the Prince Music Theater) and we?re thrilled to have him with us.

THE GREAT QUENTINI (Performance Art) Quentini has been all over the country and some parts of the world seducing audiences with his innovative approach to entertainment. You will not soon forget him!!!

MIXED PICKLES (Vintage/International Dance Troup) ?MP? will be presenting a fantastic 20?s vintage dance piece complete with costumes and color. They will be dazzling and exciting. You should attend Mélange Theatre, ?Live? just to experience Mixed Pickles.

MICHAEL LELAND (Singer) Michael has a deep, rich jazzy bluesy voice and electric stage demeanor. He has appeared in films and on television and has extensive regional theater experience. We are thrilled to have him with us.
RHETTA MORGAN (New Age Soul) Like musical desert, Rhetta Morgan sings rich, sweet, memorable songs. Weaving strands of smooth Jazz, Folk, African and African American music, she sings of a world community that celebrates cultural and spiritual diversity. Song crafting with voice, piano, percussion and mandolin as accompaniment, Rhetta writes and arranges songs of profound expression connecting her voice with the listener?s heart.

AMANDA LAPERGOLA (Singer/Actor) Amanda holds a BFA in Music Theatre. A South Jersey native, she has performed in ?West Side Story?, ?Anne of Green Gables?, ?The Scarlet Pimpernel?, and recently in ?The Gondoliers?. This past September, she appeared in ?Electra? with the Philly Fringe Festival. She is currently appearing in ?Tony and Tina?s Wedding?.
