Your go-to for theatre for young audiences that is: smart, approachable, artistic, and FUN!
Hey there!
A story as unique as its characters...
We met in South Korea in 2012, working as Edutainers at Gyeonggi English Village (now English Musicals Korea), where we honed our skills as actors and creators. In Korea we performed in 11 shows together, and since returning to the U.S. in the summer of 2014, have continued that pattern, with our joint contracts in the double digits. We've also launched our own TYA company WhatFun! Theatre, which strives to bring quality family friendly productions to communities around the country. As both performers and creators, we pride ourselves on providing not only a quality product, but a quality experience, bringing our positivity, can-do attitudes, open-minds and hearts, and spirit of blissful collaboration to every process. While we do accept separate projects, we truly believe we are #bechertogether, and prioritize joint contracts. We hope you enjoy a glimpse into our little world.

and we're off -
always a wild ride!
What's new?
We are both currently appearing in Disaster at Circa '21. Earlier this summer we finally got to fulfill our dream of being in an Alan Menken show, playing Lumiere and Babette in Disney's Beauty and the Beast.
We just finished our second summer intensive for Rising Stars, an advanced theatre education program for middle and high school students that we created with Circa '21.
We have LOVED getting to work with these inspiring students.
Ashley became the new Artistic Director at Davenport Junior Theatre, and is so excited about their 71st season!
This fall we have a bunch of creative projects:
-
reprising our roles as Music Director and Choreographer/Costume Designer for The Speakeasy's The Rocky Horror Show
-
Music Director and Choreographer for 25th Annual... at St. Ambrose University
-
Ashley will be choreographing Pippin for Double Threat Studios
-
Bobby is Assistant Director/Stunt Choreographer for The Play That Goes Wrong at Lancer Productions
-
We'll finish off 2022 at Circa '21 where Ashley will be Directing/Choreographing, and Bobby will be starring in White Christmas.
