Geoffrey Alm (Fight Director) Some may say that Geof was born with a sword in his hand, which was startling to his mother, and frightening to his father. The truth being that through a childhood of Zorro, cowboys, comics and superheros, he was well set up for the profession he ended up in - credit counseling. Ok, the real truth. Geof is a Certified Fight Director and teacher with The Society of American Fight Directors. As a Fight Director, he has choreographed over 150 shows in the Seattle Area, working at The Seattle Rep, A Contemporary Theatre, Seattle Children's Theatre, Intiman Theatre Company and Seattle Opera. Nationally, he has worked at the McCarter Theatre in Princeton, Arizona Theatre Company, The Huntington Theatre in Boston, Missouri Rep in Kansas City, Montana Shakespeare in the Park, Missoula Children's Theatre, Idaho Rep and Northwest Children's Theatre in Portland Oregon. He teaches Stage Fighting for the Professional Actors Training Program at the University of Washington, as well as Freehold Theatre Lab. He lives in the Seattle area with a bevy of beloved animals.
Alli Bostedt (who doesn’t know her title) took her first foray into theatre at age 4 when she wandered away from a karate class and ended up in a talent show. She soon discovered that every stage has a backstage and has attempted to remain there ever since, though real life does occasionally interfere. Alli recently left the action-packed world of insurance processing and is delighted to be backstage with the RSC. A native of Las Vegas, Alli lives in California with a talking shower curtain and an extensive rubber ducky collection.
Liz Fitzpatrick (Wardrobe Supervisor) comes to Reduced Shakespeare Company directly from the newly Reduced Massachusetts Cultural Council budget that once funded her last job. She has spent the last ten years running around in the dark changing people's clothes and learning to spin mud into pots. Liz claims that learning to walk on ice was the most useful skill she obtained while earning a BFA in theatre.

Zach Moore (Sound Designer) is super-extra happy to return to the bosomy warm embrace of the RSC. He stage managed the first American tour of the Millennium Musical (abridged), then led them to Edinburgh, where he drank many Guinnesses (Guinnii?). He's worked on all six RSC shows, in one way or another, as well as done audio work on the CD release of Bible.
