Walden by Amy Berryman
Set in the near future, when we have depleted Earth's resources and NASA has begun "colonizing" the Moon, Stella and Cassie meet for the first time in years. But this is no ordinary reunion - these fraternal twins have been separated by more than just years and miles. And in her absence, Stella has begun a new life with her fiance, Bryan - an Earth Advocate who's devoted his life to saving what parts of Earth we still can. Over a single weekend, the trio work to find connection and healing after an undefined rupture that constantly threatens to rear its head.

Asher Kondziela: Asher is thrilled to be back at 21ten as Cassie and is excited to work with her wonderfully talented castmates. Previous credits include TURKEYS! THE MUSICAL and LOVE, SEX, & THE I.R.S. The community at 21ten has become an incredible support system for Asher as they build their acting career in Portland. Asher wants to thank Wheelhouse Craft, 21ten, and the many close friends that have encouraged her to keep stepping outsider her comfort zone. Special thanks to dog Dad Dayxe, as without them, Rocket and Rader would feel incredibly neglected while Mom was busy with rehearsals and shows.
Angie Tennant*: After a decade of performing in NYC, Angie is thrilled to have settled in Portland where they've performed with 21ten Theatre in You Stupid Darkness! and Uncle Vanya, The Theatre Company in California, and Fuse Theatre Ensemble in Ronald Reagan Murdered My Mentors. Select Off-Broadway & Regional credits: Boys Will Be Boys (59E59), The Dead, 1908 (Irish Repertory Theatre) & Somebody's Gotta Be... (The Working Theater), The Invincible Ones (New Light Theatre Co.), For Worse, Snake Eggs, & The Circus Train Wreck (New Jersey Repertory). Angie holds an MFA in Acting from The New School for Drama, and is a proud member of Actor's Equity, 21ten Theatre & New Light Theatre Company. Coming up, you can catch Angie in two feature films: Motives and Gehenna. They also offer private coaching for auditions & self tapes and currently teach at 21ten. www.angietennant.com

He is a local actor who has worked in a variety of productions across Portland as well as producing his own solo show, The Mask I Wear.
