Olivia Haas as Jennifer Collins
After graduating from Stanford in 2011, Olivia
Haas moved to NYC where she enjoyed stints at The Public Theater and Manhattan
Theatre Club. After realizing that it’s hard to live in New York with no money,
she moved to LA where she enjoyed a longer stint working in film and
television. After realizing that she wasn’t actually enjoying that
stint, she chose to ditch the entertainment industry and return to the Bay Area
where she is thoroughly enjoying her newfound peace of mind. A writer/director
at heart, Olivia has had her plays produced both locally and Off(Off)-Broadway,
and she has trained as an improviser at The Groundlings in Los Angeles. This is
her second Dragon production -- she was last seen in this year's season opener U.S. Drag. A big thank you to Ken for
this opportunity, and for his support throughout the journey.
Johnathan Tierney as Morgan/Peter
John Tierney is filled with delight to be a
part of Dragon Productions’ Wild Boy. He recently was Hunter in
Bandcandy Theater Company’s [title of show], Wildboy in University

Francisco College Player’s Love’s Labour’s Lost. Over the past
three years, he has made ten short films for his personal enjoyment. In his
free time, he creates digital art on Instagram under the alias KingPaleWave. He
would like to thank the cast and crew for making this a wonderful show, and he
is very grateful for his family and friends with their relentless
support.
