Emme Lundeen Fallen (Director) has been acting since the age of sixteen and at age 25 directed her original adaptation of Spoon River (TheatreFirst, Chicago) Thirty years ago this month, she finished a four week run playing "Evelyn" in The Tenth Man and got married a week later to ESP’s artistic director, David Fallen. Since moving to Virginia from Maine she as worked almost exclusively with ESP, directing Spoon River, Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? , Hair, and The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie. Favorite roles for ESP include "Linda" in Death of a Salesman (directed by David Fallen) and "Ma Joad" in Grapes of Wrath (directed by Leslie Kobylinski). She serves on the ESP Board and spearheads the ESP/Realm for New Works project presenting staged readings of new works by area playwrights.

Les Zidel (Producer) is a founder of both the Elden Street Players and the Council for the Arts of Herndon. He led the team which designed and implemented the plans for the Industrial Strength Theatre. He has produced or designed more than twenty productions for ESP, and currently serves as the Technical Director for the group. This season he lit The Runner Stumbles for ESP and A Few Good Men for VCP, and will stage manage Our Town for ESP this spring. His designs are represented by four Ruby Griffith Award winning productions. Les dedicates this play in memory of his dad who found great joy in singing the weekly readings from the Torah at his synagogue and in many ways was very much a tenth man. He wants to especially thank Jay Bradley for giving so much to this show.

Mary Ann Hall (Stage Manager) is celebrating her eighth year with ESP. She began as assistant stage manager on Murderer, where she got to shed real blood. Since then she has worked both onstage and backstage. Her favorite shows include Something Different, Hair, All The Kings Men and Death of a Salesman. When not doing theater, she is a Girl Scout leader, taxicab driver for Trevor and Sally and works full time at Hutchison Elementary. Much love to her offstage family and her theater family.

Jay Bradley (Set Design) The Tenth Man is Jay’s second production with ESP, having been introduced to the group in last season’s successful production of La Cage Aux Folles where he assisted with costuming and constructing the glitzy feathered headdresses for the Cagelles. Jay has designed both sets and costumes for various community theater productions, such as The Sound of Music, A Chorus Line, Come Blow Your Horn, Pure As The Driven Snow and musical-comedy reviews while living in Japan and Hawaii. In his spare time while working on The Tenth Man Jay is busy designing costumes for ESP’s summer production of Pippin. His true love is directing and he hopes to stage a production for ESP in future seasons.

Al Fetske (Light Design) is thrilled to be working both ends of the production spectrum in ESP’s Tenth Man. In the research and study of the script while developing the lighting design, he attained an in depth perception of his character’s David Foreman relationships to the other characters. Al has successfully designed shows for ESP’s Hamlet, The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, Freedom of the City, and Ms. Reardon Drinks a Little. He has also been seen in several productions, among his favorites: Other Peoples Money, Man in the Glass Booth, and All the King’s Men.
