Name: Jean Egdorf
Age: 32
Pronouns: She/Her/Hers
Hometown: Los Alamos, New Mexico
Undergrad: BFA Applied Theatre Technology & Design, English Writing; Metropolitan State University of Denver
Favorite TV Show: Twin Peaks (and I’ve got the tattoo to prove it)
Favorite Play (or, that’s stuck with me the most): Franca Rame’s “A Woman Alone”
“Fun fact”  related to The Evolution of Rattlesnakes: When I was a teenager, I really wanted a pet snake (I had a friend who owned snakes, so this didn’t just come out of no where. If you ever get to hold a snake, do it, they’re incredible). I brought it up with my mom once, and she has never shot down an idea faster.

Directed by Dusty Brown

3:30 p.m. – Friday, April 26th, Forum Theater, RTV Building

Rattlesnakes are evolving to lose their rattles. Man has spent so long wiping out the ones that make noise, it’s become a better defense mechanism to remain silent. Denni Erwine is arrested for the murder of the Drybrook County Sheriff. According to their statements, she only struck back against the Sheriff in defense of her neighbor, Louisa Trelawney, but there is more coiled up in the case than either woman is willing to say. To prevent it from striking more than once, is there only one way to deal with a venomous snake?
