 Jeffrey A. Webster is a long-time stage actor, now writing scripts and one (as-yet unpublished) historical novel about the maritime underground railroad. In April 2026, his full-length play, "Killing to the Sound of Trumpets," had a staged reading in North Hollywood, California. He has also written a series of verses for children’s picture books that won a first-place award from the Sacramento Library Foundation. Jeff, a Coast Guard veteran, and Susan, his wife of 57 years, were until recently long-time hospice volunteers, organizing and conducting ceremonies to honor military veteran-patients for their service. 

  Liisa Rose is a member of The Dramatists Guild, holds an MA in theatre education from the University of Arizona and an MFA in playwriting from SNHU where she also teaches. Her plays have been developed through readings with Old Pueblo Playwrights, and Carport Theatre in Tucson, AZ, Fusion Theatre in Albuquerque, NM, The A-Chronicles, in Westport, CT, and most recently with Returning Soldiers Speak, in North Hollywood, CA. As an Air Force spouse, Liisa has performed on stages from Tucson to Misawa, Japan, taught kindergarten to college theatre classes, and served as the executive director of a community theatre in South Carolina. Liisa lives in Tucson, AZ with her husband and their four-legged children.

 Mel Hector is a Clinical Associate Professor who practices Geriatrics via tele medicine at the University of Arizona in Tucson. Many of his plays are set in healthcare settings dealing with health-related issues that inspire his interest. One such effort is St. Beseenya, a full-length play that explores the complicated life, lives, sorrows, and joys of residents and staff of a skilled nursing facility. His Cecilia's Plight is a remarkable story of resilience and generosity inspired by Betty Ojeda, a late neighbor, friend, and native of Bisbee, AZ.
