KIMBERLY CARROLL (Bettie Page): Kimberly is honoured to portray Ms. Page - a lady who has become one her personal heroines. You might know Kimberly from the wacky world of TV - as an arts & entertainment reporter for CBC Television and as host of A-Channel's former entertainment variety show Wired. Before entering the cushy (ha!) world of broadcasting, Kimberly worked as a performer in music theatre across the prairies. In Toronto, she performed and wrote for sketch comedy troupe RIOT, sang her way through the cabaret circuit, did some film work, and regularly guest-starred as a female drag queen (who do you think taught her to walk in those heels?!). She was last seen in Lunchbox Theatre's Pizza: A Love Story, Trevor Schmidt's The Lost Prom Queens (1998 Fringe), and, of course, the original production of Kink! at the 1999 Fringe Festival.

CARMEN DAVISON (June King): Carmen is happy to be back in Edmonton with Pegasus Theatre for Kink!. She worked all season in Calgary last year, and has just returned from The Academy in Stratford. Carmen was last seen in Stage West's Hello Dolly, Theatre Junction's Good, Denise Clark's Radioheaded, and ATP's Gifts of the Magi. She has worked with Teatro La Quindicina, Teatro Bambino, Lunchbox Theatre, and The Citadel. Future endeavours include writing a play and maybe … someday … finishing her English degree.

TOM EDWARDS (Irving Klaw): Tom graduated from the University of Calgary with a BFA in Drama, back in '87. He's performed in many plays since then, mostly in Edmonton. Recently, Tom was seen at the 2000 Fringe Festival playing Harold Ballard in Harold the Bastard. He has performed in an array of commercials, some television (Mentors) and film, with an upcoming role in a film entitled Jet Boy. He is a main cast member of the popular live-improvised weekly soap opera at the Varscona - Die Nasty!

LINDA GRASS (Paula Klaw): Linda is happy to assume the role of Paula Klaw in Kink! for her debut with Pegasus Theatre. She has previously worked with Paul Morgan Donald in Congo Song and Too Bad She's a Big Ol' Slut, both with The Unconscious Collective. This year she was seen in Beaten to Death by Gorillas (Jagged Edge Lunchbox Theatre) and The Watermelon Girls (The Unconscious Collective). She is also a vocalist with the jazz combo "Lush Life" who will be appearing weekly at the westend Elephant and Castle beginning in November. Linda is now a Bettie Page fan, but has been a fan of Kimberly Carroll's since appearing onstage with her in Winnipeg several years ago.

SHARLA MATKIN (Roz Greenwood / Sylvia): Sharla is a graduate of the University of Alberta's drama program. Her credits with Pegasus Theatre include Fringe hits Reefer Madness: the Musical (1997), and Kink! (1999). Other credits include Wes Borg's Y2K Apocalypse: The Musical, Romeo and Juliet (Edgewise Ensemble), and Congo Song (Unconscious Collective). Her biggest accomplishment this year was giving birth to her incredibly wonderful son Elijah. She wishes to thank George for his love and undying support - without him none of this would be possible.

His performer credits include Oliver!, The Music Man, and Richard III at The Citadel; Yours Anne, The Secret Garden, and Peter Pan at Stage Polaris; Wife Begins at Forty, The Sound of Music, and On Golden Pond at the Mayfield.
