Coco Robicheiux
Coco Robicheiux
Coco, a veteran cast member with Something New Studio, has studied the art of short-form and long- form improv since the tender age of 15. She was a founding member of The Improvisors at Louisiana State University; and has since continued the art of “yes and-ing” in Orlando with her old troupe, the Kinda Funny Kinfolk. She enjoyed an extensive career with the Walt Disney Company, in such performance jobs as Entertainment Host with Disney Cruise Line, and tour guide and public speaker with Adventures by Disney. Her dream man is her 5 year old furball pup named Walter; and her best talents are accents and sarcasm.
Adam Cornett
Adam Cornett
Mild-mannered software developer by day, Adam leans into his wilder/creative side for performances. A veteran of 25+ plays and musicals on Central Florida stages since 2007, Adam loves nothing more than to make an absolute fool of himself for a character. The most fun he has is when things go a little bit "off" and everyone is just making it up as we go along and holding on for the ride. Whether it's "murder", improv, drama, comedy or musical --- he's always asking "What's next?"

Christian Perkins
Christian Perkins
None of Christian's castmates understand why he is a vegan, but somehow they like him anyway! A regular in the Lake County Community Theatre scene Christian loves to believe that he is less talented than he really is - hey, that way winning is always a surprise! Christian would like to thank Jim Quinlan for writing his bio as Jim has been waiting for years for Christian to put one together!
