THE CREATIVE TEAM

	Nancy McClernan Author/Producer Nancy McClernan, a member of the Dramatists Guild, runs NYCPlaywrights, a writers group where TAM LIN was developed through readings. Most of the TAM LIN cast are members of NYCPlaywrights and have been involved in the development of this play: several of the actors have been involved in the play from its very first public reading. When not working with actors, Nancy works for actors as the web coordinator for Actors' Equity Association. A special thanks to Synge Maher and Jon Campbell for all their hard work and to Jonathan Flagg - none of these theatrical endeavors would be possible without his support.
	Synge Maher Director Synge Maher has recently directed several new plays and one acts. Of these, TRUNCATED SIT went onto finals in the Strawberry Festival and MNEMONIC DEVICE was given an extended run. She is also a company director for a national touring troupe that focuses on bringing classical literature to the stage with such titles as A CHRISTMAS CAROL, ALICE IN WONDERLAND and her most recent favorite, MACBETH. In her spare time she enjoys taking the odd acting job and has just appeared as the lead in MR. CUPCAKE.
	Jon Campbell Assistant Director/Stage Manager Jon has been acting and directing since he was 18 and he has no plans to stop anytime soon. Some of his favorite jobs include acting and directing for The Hampstead Players, playing the evil monkey Suvali in the Balinese Epic THE ABDUCTION OF SITA, and his experiences with the Commedia dell'Arte troupe I Commediantt Giorgiani. Most recently, he helped bring MEANINGLESS SEX to the Fringe Festival stage. He is grateful for the chance to work with Synge again. And none of this would ever be possible if it weren't for the lovely Jenny to encourage him.
