Christian Danley

destroythepast

Christian went to The Atlanta College of Art (now a part of SCAD) and even though he's drawn and made art his whole life, it wasn't until a complete stranger called him an "American Artist" on wikipedia that he actually felt like one.

Ed Morgan

"I Gotta Believe!"

Some say Ed was born in a tornado and raised by the wind. Others say he simply appeared from the ocean one violent winter evening. What is known for sure about Ed is that he is the youngest and whipper-snapperiest member of the Dad's Garage Ensemble, and has appeared in scripted shows including Invasion: A Christmas Carol and The Change: Another Teenage Werewolf Musical. He is...

Now 25% larger!!

Your Magical Dream Hero

Hailing from the Lost City of Detroit, Lucky rides his Laser Dragon into the fantasy realm of your dreams. If there's a group of maidens in need, you can count on Lucky being in the middle of them.

You'll be glad you did.

Matt Horgan

Megan Leahy

The Female Mr. Wizard

Megan has been improvising with Dad's Garage for several years and has also appeared in a number of scripted shows; favorites include Drove and Invasion: Our Town (which wasn't scripted no matter what that one guy said). Though she left in 2009 to go to a fancy-schmancy New England grad school, she was lured back to Dad's Garage after graduation by memories of the stench of the green room. Megan is best known for the role of "Mite" in StarGirls, the daring and original space odyssey written and directed by her father over Thanksgiving weekend in 1984.

Mike Schatz

Improviser, actor, ad exec., and so insecure it ruins everything

Mike has been a member of Dad’s Ensemble since 2006, but much like Val Kilmer in 1997’s "The Saint," his ability to change characters may be why you know him better as Andy Candy, Stooltz, The Strummin’ Mummy or one half of Atlanta’s Only All Bass Rollie Fingers Tribute Band Bases Loaded. Mike has also been a member...

René Dellefont

Associate Artistic Director

René recently joined the staff at Dad's Garage as Associate Artistic Director.

Rueben Medina

In 2004 Rueben Medina moved from Orlando, Florida (the tourist and elevated go-kart track capital of the world) to Atlanta, Georgia to attend college at Emory University as an English major. Realizing that he needed yet another reason to neglect his studies, he started attending shows at Dad’s Garage Theatre.

Tom Rittenhouse

Tom Rittenhouse has been performing at Dad's Garage since 2007. His affair with the theater started as he was finishing his Film and Video degree at Georgia State University. Having seen a few performances at Dad's and dying to know how it's done, Tom registered for their level one improv class. It's been a super-fun roller coaster ever since! He's helped create some really awesome improv shows including Teddy Bears, Rainbows...

Travis Sharp

This is what he did for a Klondike bar

Travis almost turned around and left the first time he visited Dad's Garage, because back in 2000 it looked like a murder shed. He went in anyway, did not get murdered, and fell in love. Since then, Travis has performed in hundreds of improvised and scripted shows; co-created shows like B.R.A.W.L., Song of the Living Dead, The Change, and Invasion: Our Town; and had multiple bouts of butterfly-induced diarrhea in Dad's Garage's green room toilet, which is surely one of Atlanta's worst.

Z. Gillispie

Roughly one-eleventh of a ton of fun.

For over a decade, Z has been with Dad’s - subjecting Atlanta audiences to the menagerie of characters trapped in his addled brain. No fatalities as of yet. During the day, his mild-mannered alter ego is that of Creative Director at Nurun, a digital marketing agency in Midtown. In addition to improv, Z enjoys fantasy novels, action figures and watching terrible movies on Netflix Instant ... we know what you are thinking, but sorry ladies, he’s taken.
