 David Morgan likes pie. He also likes theatre (but not as much... after all, it is PIE!) He has toured as an actor in the world tour of Jesus Christ Superstar, as a sound tech for the world tour of 42nd Street, production managed the U.S. tour of Big River and consulted for the U.S. tour of the tragically horrible Copacabana. He has worked at many theatres, most of them you have never heard of or don’t really care, (or possibly he does not want to admit to some of them). He has been working with Magik since 1996 as a designer, writer, director, occasional actor and most importantly the guy who makes popcorn on Saturdays. In his free time he is ecstatically married to his best friend, Shannon (insert groan here), and in their free time they like to travel. But mostly he just likes pie...and his wife.

Shannon is also an avid blogger and nascent screenwriter, and is working to complete two young adult novels. She looks forward to being paid for these things, too. When she isn’t attached to her laptop, Shannon loves to travel with her awesome husband, Dave.
