Noah Kelly studied acting at A.C.T. & received a B.A. in Theatre Arts from Humboldt State University, focusing on Physical Theatre. While at HSU Noah co-founded 'Lemmings', an on-campus performance art troupe, which provided the experience & catalyst for co-founding RIPE. An accomplished writer/performer/designer, he has worked in a variety of roles with several Bay Area artists & organizations, including Julia Norton, Marina Vendrell, The Actor's Collective, Taproot Dance Project, Crowded Fire, Almaden Films, The San Francisco Mime Troupe, New Conservatory Theatre Center, and Missile Motion Pictures.
The daughter of an actor and a stage manager, Sarah McKereghan has studied with Bay Area companies such as A.C.T. and the California Shakespeare Festival. Although Shakespeare was her first passion, she discovered her love for writing and performing original scripts while getting a degree in Theatre Arts at Humboldt State University. Sarah has worked with other local companies- Upon These Boards, Combined Artform Entertainment, and Last Planet Theatre Company. She is also a Board member of Upon These Boards. As cofounder of RIPE, Sarah hopes that through developing and producing new and imaginative work she can bring theatre to a whole new audience.
	Peter Q. Parish, our resident Technical Director and all around handy man, has worked in many capacities for RIPE, including stage manager, director, actor, mask designer, set designer, lighting designer, sound designer, props master, and much more.

As an artist, Peter wears many hats: fool, sculptor, actor/performer, director, puppeteer, maskmaker, website designer, and videographer.
