Amanda Denning (Performer and Live Musician)

Amanda's first performance was at age 5 where she played a growling, dancing Poppy in The Wizard of Oz. After that, she auditioned for every show she could find in the smallish town of Olympia, WA, mostly musicals. From there she attended WWU in Bellingham and was awarded a BA in Communication, with a minor in theater. After college, she moved to Seattle, and a friend introduced her to Jet City Improv. A pianist since age 3, you can sometimes catch her at the keyboards during a show. Amanda is proud to be the only former homecoming-princess / drill-team-captain in the state who has converted to major geekdom - she's looking for tanks & good dps dealers for her wow guild...

Shawn Franklin

Shawn is originally from Brooklyn, NY and moved to Washington in 1992 at the behest of Uncle Sam. Years later, Shawn began improvising as a member of Tacoma's Tokens Improv and later as Performer/Director with Dead Gentlemen Improv, a division of the locally semi-kinda-legendary Dead Gentlemen Productions (www.deadgentlemen.com) ("The Gamers", "The Gamers: Dorkness Rising"). He was also a featured performer in various Dead Gentlemen Productions comedic sketch works including the improvised reality TV show "House Rulez", and the award-winning short "Campaign Ad", featured on Current TV. He was also immortalized in print as the playable character "Harkadian" in Dead Gentlemen's recently published Demon Hunters Role Playing game and its accompanying short film: "Demon Hunters Orientation Video". Shawn took a hiatus from active performing to teach and direct improv classes and shows at Lakewood Playhouse, while filling in as a host of Wing It Productions' Fremont Outdoor Movies and making guest appearances with Jet City Improv. He's finally given in to the pressure and joined Jet City and Twisted Flicks!

Lauren Logan

Lauren is a caffeinated born-and-raised Seattlite who first joined the Twisted Flicks team fresh out of high school in 2006. She is so happy to have the opportunity to combine her loves for movies and improvisational theatre! Her first flick was The Amazing Colossal Man, wherein she portrayed giant footsteps, the terrorized screams of crowds, and a tiny elephant. Since then she has graduated to leading ladies, and greatly enjoys vocalizing the bizarre facial expressions made by the wondrous actors of the 1950s. You can also find Lauren among the ranks of Jet City Improv if you want to hear her voice and see her face at the same time!
