Fernando Carsa was born and raised in Colima, Mexico. At the age of seven, he began his training at the Performing Arts School “Eco Aventura." At the age of fifteen (and after learning English by listening to Britney Spears' music) he and his family moved to California to pursue his dream of being a performer.

In 2018, Fernando earned his Associate’s Degree in Theatre Arts from Fullerton Junior College and transferred to UCLA's Ray Bolger Musical Theatre Program. He became the only transfer student in six years to be accepted into the Musical Theatre track. Finally, in June of 2020, he graduated from UCLA with a Bachelor's Degree in Theatre Arts.

You may recognize Fernando for his portrayal of Weber in the World Premiere of the musical “Rebel Genius,” Louis in the new musical “CAMP SONG,” Claudio in Lydia (UCLA), Martin in “OKAYBETTERBEST” and his ensemble appearances in The Little Mermaid (Candlelight Pavilion), Spring Awakening (FJC), and American Idiot (FJC).

Peppur is an international writer/producer/educator and the founder of Brown Betties™, a women’s empowerment brand. During the pandemic, she found her way back to theater. Selected for Lower Depth Theatre Ensemble’s “Pandemic Plays”, she sites this experience of writing and presenting “For the Love of You” as one that helped her get through this tough time.

A new member of Antaeus Playwrights Lab, she’s currently writing a radio play based on white supremacy as her effort to speak up during this current turbulent shift toward equality. Additionally, having been accepted to Circle X Theatre Evolving Playwrights Group, Peppur is working on a new play, a ghost story of sorts based upon unexplained fertility. She is closing out this year with a new media film project shot virtually and Covid-safe of which she co-wrote, co-produced and directed, titled “Do Something”. It is a story about protest, privilege, and power.

Richard’s commitment to making a difference through writing came to fruition as a writer on The End Hunger Televent - a three-hour variety show about what individuals could do to end world hunger. This led to a crowning achievement as a writer for the historic “Live Aid Concert,” which raised $125 million dollars for famine relief in Ethiopia.

In addition, Richard works with his wife, Rahla Kahn, in their company, The Power Of Play. They use Adaptive Applied Improvisation, creativity, and laughter as tools to help people and corporations deal with a variety of challenges.
