Jasmin Cardenas returns to Lifeline’s Drama Camp for her fourth year as an instructor. At Lifeline, she played Lil’ Magill in “The True Story of 3 Little Pigs!,” and last season she choreographed Lifeline’s Jeff-recommended “The Mark of Zorro,” which played to sold-out audiences. Other theatres she has performed with include Goodman, Vittum, Collaboraction (Artistic Associate), Serendipity Theatre Collective, Teatro Luna, Teatro Vista, Chicago Dramatists, Ensemble Español Spanish Dance Theater, and Aguijon Theater. She is a teaching artist for Lifeline, Lookingglass and Silk Road Theater Project, and can be seen storytelling to all ages at area schools, festivals and events.
Edward Paul played Snowflake Tim in Lifeline’s “Snowflake Tim’s Big Holiday Adventure.” Edward is also a teaching artist for Lifeline’s in-school residencies and a company member with the Griffin Theater, where he runs national tour projects and after-school outreach programs. His most recent Griffin outreach program was a six-month after-school program at Von Humboldt at Chicago’s southwest side, which focused on improvisation techniques and original works written by the students.
