Vicki CohenPresidentVicki is a nonmigratory bird from the neotropic ecozone. She is recognizable for her brightly marked, colorful beak and spotted tail. She weighs about 200 grams and measures 12 inches from head to foot. Her toes are arranged in pairs and her feathers are black with yellow and blue markings. She preys on insects and small lizards, though her diet consists mainly of fruits. She can be found in a tree-hole nest in a humid forest. Vicki also holds PhDs in psychology, Middle-Eastern history, and botany. She would like to thank her family, her genus, and her species for the wonderful opportunity of singing another year with Company B. -
Jacob LazarBusiness ManagerJacob Lazar is the world's youngest tightrope-walking goat charmer. His favorite Sesame Street character is Bert (although Ernie makes his elbows itch) and he will only eat toast if the bottom side—not the top—is buttered. He'd like to send a friendly hello out to all of his fellow competitive scarf-juggling enthusiasts. -
Julie SteinPublicity/FundraisingChild, mother, sinner, saint, and not ashamed, Julie Stein uttered her first words at the tender age of one week ("O sole mio, sta 'nfronte a te!") A nine-time Pulitzer Prize finalist, Julie is one of the most quoted writers of our generation, famous especially for her timeless and wise philosophies including "I think, therefore I am" and "So much money, you can't stop that." -
David BaumgoldWebmasterLong ago, when the world was young and Pogs were cool, David decided it was time to grace the Earth with his presence. He quickly grew and matured, and at age twelve he was officially named Man's Best Hope for the Future. Since then, he has trained in the art of the ninja with Grand Master Yun-Shai, and he can kill you without using weapons in twelve different ways, including mind bullets. David also currently holds the high score for beating the Internet. Recently, David has decided to apply his considerable talents to singing, using his ninja abilities to split himself in two and be part of both Company B and Proscenium. He is so stealthy that neither group realizes that he is singing with them, so don't tell them. (website) -
Liza BehrendtHippie In ResidenceAt the age of thirteen, Liza Behrendt was cursed by her wicked stepmother, which resulted in her being able to eat only meat. Ostracized by the greater vegan community, she traveled the land searching for a prince, or a potion of great healing power. Finding neither, she became desonsolate, finding solace only in gardening and meditation. Recently, however, Liza's fortune has changed, for once she joined Company B. The unique mix of dietary restrictions of this fair group prevented them from judging Liza and her carnivorous ways, which broke the hold of her evil stepmother's curse, and Liza happily resumed her vegan ways. -
Dave NeiditchVideographerDave Neiditch is literally the greatest thing since sliced bread. Back in the early 1990s, a group of university professors met to establish a list of the greatest things since the advent of sliced bread. Sure enough, the professors named a young child as god’s crowning achievement to date. And how right they were. Other items cracking the Sliced Bread List’s top ten included Chia Pets, The Beatles, and Scooby-Doo. After a number of years with similar results, the Sliced Bread List was discontinued in 1997 when it was finally discovered that the list was compiled by a pack of lemurs and not in fact university professors. After this crushing blow to his psyche, Dave became a recluse and ran away from home only to get caught in a bear trap where he still resides today. -

Benny GronichNew BBenny was born on platform 9 and ¾ on a sunny day in February. He is the loved bastard child of Aslan, king of Narnia and Jadis, the White Witch. On 4 September 1888, less than a month shy of his nineteenth birthday, Benny left the beautiful land of Narnia to travel to London, England, to study law at London school of economics and laser hair removal. His time in London, the Imperial capital, was influenced by a vow he had made to his mother in the presence of the Jain monk Becharji, upon leaving Narnia, to observe the Hindu precepts of abstinence from meat, alcohol, and promiscuity. Although Benny experimented with adopting "English" customs—taking dancing lessons for example—he could not stomach his landlady's mutton and cabbage, thus fleeing to Brandeis University, undercover as an undergraduate student. He can now be found singing a cappella with his new family Company B. -

Sean FullertonDimpled Envoy (Abroad)Sean's birth date is believed to have been around 1819 in Dorchester County, Maryland. Toiling under the tyranny of his cruel masters, the Brodes, he decided to run away with his two brothers. From then on, he was known as "Moses", helping as many as 70 slaves to freedom, as well as giving instructions to 70 others, on what is now known as the "underground railroad". He was never caught. He now sings oldies a cappella.
