Mission Statement
At Monday Nights Theatre Company, we produce bold, thoughtful theater that explores the human experience through contemporary voices and reimagined classics. We foster a collaborative, process-driven environment that supports artists at every stage. MNTC makes space for experimentation, uplifts new ideas and diverse perspectives with a deep commitment to artistic integrity and the craft of storytelling.
Rooted in our community, we celebrate local voices, contribute to the local economy through creative partnerships, and offer a welcoming gathering space where artists and audiences can connect. Through accessible programming, educational initiatives, and training opportunities, we cultivate creativity, confidence, and collaboration for people of all backgrounds—ensuring that theater remains inclusive, impactful, and, above all, full of magic because nothing quite compares to the unbridled chaos, joy, and human connection of live theatre.

Meet the Team
Annie Chang
Annie Chang was born in Orange County, CA but learned to become a tolerable human being in NYC after proudly graduating from NYU Tisch where she attended none of her general ed courses. Her first theatre jobs included a world premiere of Wild Swans at the Young Vic and A.R.T. as well as 4,000 Miles at Studio Theatre.
She was selected for the ABC Diversity Showcase in NY and the NBC Diversity Showcase in LA. She's been a series regular in television pilots with Fox and Showtime, with credits including Peacemaker on HBO, Interior Chinatown on Hulu, and Super Pumped: The Battle for Uber on Showtime.
This year will be Annie's directing debut and she is thrilled to create something that brings her back to her first love of theatre.
Emily Day Blackwell
Emily Day Blackwell is an LA-based actor, writer, comedian, and clown. Her credits include The Brother's Sun, Roomies, Here for the Weekend, and her one-woman improvised show Show 'Em Your Best! She was featured in the Just For Laughs New Faces: Characters showcase and performs improv and sketch comedy at The Groundlings, Upright Citizens Brigade, and The Lyric Hyperion.
You can also find her comedy on social media (@emilydayblackwell), where she continues the noble art of being weird online. Emily is deeply grateful for your support of Monday Nights Theatre Company and for helping keep the magic of live theatre alive.
Kristina Mueller
Kristina Mueller is an actress, VO artist, writer and director based in Los Angeles, CA, and a founding member of Monday Nights Theatre Co. Raised half in Munich and half in the States, she is fluent in both English and German. She is an NYU/Tisch and RADA (London) alum, has studied improv at UCB and The Groundlings, and is a long-time attendee of the Shakespeare Forum.

She was also the founder of The Reuptake Project, a devised theatre initiative raising awareness for depression and mental illness.
You may have heard Kristina's voice as a German superhero in the narrative podcast HEROICS (Spotify), various sharks in Seal Team (Netflix), and more. She passionately believes in theatre and film as wonderfully collaborative endeavors that can change atoms around and maybe even make your heart grow a few sizes.
P.K. Simone
P.K. Simone is a Los Angeles–based actor and award-winning filmmaker, best known as the creator and star of The Red Rob Roy Show. He also voiced the demon Grekt in the fantasy feature Age of Stone and Sky: The Sorcerer Beast, starring Jeffrey Combs and Corey Feldman.
His additional screen credits include playing Van Herron on the Amazon series Countdown opposite Jensen Ackles, an appearance in the acclaimed independent film Palm Trees and Power Lines, and the lead role of Sam Lockhart on The Wild West Chronicles.
Having spent many summers in Vermont, P.K. has long considered the state a second home and is especially excited to share his passion for the arts with the local community. He also creates comedy content on social media @p.k.simone, where several of his sketches have gone viral — his most popular video has garnered more than 12 million views.
Rose Fairley
Rose Fairley is a native garden designer working to create beautiful and biodiverse gardens in New England, the Mid-Atlantic and Southern California. An alumna of NYU's Stella Adler Studio of Acting alongside Annie Chang & Kristina Mueller, Rose returns to her first artistic home — theatre! — as a catalyst for this first season in Vermont.
In 2020, Rose established Plant Friends, a community ecology studio, to connect people with local ecosystems through craft, ecology studies and native garden design. She sees the work (and play) of theatre as another means of practicing the world we wish to see — a way of working towards a more just, vibrant and collective future.
Rose has been a guest instructor for the John C. Campbell Folk School, the Arroyos and Foothills Conservancy, the San Dimas Nature Center, and the Weaver's Croft. She is a Vermont Master Naturalist program participant and a UC-ANR Certified California Naturalist. Rose lives in Washington County, Vermont, where she has been very slowly repairing a Victorian-era house with her partner.
