Jessica Moreno (Executive Producer)
Jessica began producing plays as an undergraduate Theater and Sanskrit student at Columbia University (including PIZZA MAN and STUPID KIDS). She co-produced ANGRY YOUNG WOMEN alongside Matt Morillo for its run at Theater for the New City in 2007, and again for its off-Broadway run at The Players Theater later that year. Jessica is now stepping up as Executive Producer of ANGRY YOUNG WOMEN for its West Coast Premier. Although she appears primarily on-stage and in front of the camera, Jessica has always taken an interest in working behind the scenes on creative projects. While dancing professionally as a teenager, Jessica co-choreographed several modern dance pieces for BLUdance Theatre, with whom she was a principal dancer (she has also appeared as a guest artist with Pilobolus). |

Matt Morillo (Executive Producer)
Matt has gone from making a splash to making waves in the world of independent theater and film. His first two plays, ANGRY YOUNG WOMEN IN LOW RISE JEANS WITH HIGH CLASS ISSUES and ALL ABOARD THE MARRIAGE HEARSE received back-to-back publishing deals with Samuel French, an extremely rare and noteworthy achievement. Besides his foray into theater, Matt has been a fixture on the New York independent film scene for the past ten years. After graduating film school, Matt made his auspicious debut at the young age of 23 with his first feature THE PRETENDERS (2000), an award-winning romantic comedy. His subsequent short films, most notably MAID OF HONOR (2003), garnered him numerous awards and regional notoriety. Matt has also written stand-up for some of Los Angeles and New York's emerging comedians, and he has recently brought his sagacious, uncensored wit to the web by launching THE CYNICAL OPTIMIST (www.thecynicaloptimist.net) a website of editorials and musings about love, relationships, sex, current events and anything else that pops into his ginormous head. Matt and his exploits have been featured in The New York Times, The New Yorker, The New York Post, W Magazine, The Village Voice, The Daily Telegraph (Sydney), Sydney Theatre, Australian Stage, Aussie Theater Backstage Magazine, Theater Mania, and multiple times on WOR Radio with Joey Reynolds. |
