Jessica Callahan was born and raised in Kensington, Brooklyn. She was always a shy kid with a hidden passion for theater and performance. It wasn’t until March 2022, when she took a chance on an Improv 101 class at Mopco, that the passion came to the forefront. Since then, she has become a very active member of the Mopco community, participating in countless workshops and classes. She has worked to refine her skills with a performance group called “The Regulars” who she still regularly rehearses with.  In the fall of 2023, Jess joined “Down The Rabbit Hole" where she continues to grow and entertain folks of all ages.

Mariah Sanford-White now resides in Albany after teaching theatre and yoga in NYC for many years. Locally, she has taught, directed, and performed with The Theatre Company at Hubbard Hall, directed and produced for Black Theatre Troupe of Upstate NY (BTTUNY), and performed with Theater Voices. Mariah currently works at Emma Willard School and assists BTTUNY with all of their productions in some capacity. Her improv goals are to channel her inner kindergartener as much as possible, and to find delight everywhere!
