Hello, my name is Marie Zaccagnino! (Raven) and I am thrilled to join the cast for this reprise run of Angels Among Us! I live in Manhattan New York. I am an Alumni of Pace University Performing Arts BFA in Acting for Film, Television, Voice-Overs & Commercials Class of 2018. I have recently been cast in the new Amazon Prime Series “Mob Mentality” as the reoccurring role of “Lisa Visconti” premiering September of 2025 on Prime Video!  A few other productions I have performed include, “A Sketch of New York” , “Lysistrata”, “12 Angry Women”, “The Laramie Project”, “A Seussified Christmas Carol” as well as the musical “Candyland”! I am also a teaching artist with Bloom Performing Arts! I am so passionate about my craft and being onstage and in front of the camera are two of my most favorite places to be in the world! I am happiest when I am performing. I was just seen in NYC last year in “All We Really Know is That We Exist,” as the role of “Funky”! And I want to thank Elise for giving me another opportunity to perform in this incredible show! And thank you to my family and friends for your endless support!

Caitlyn Geiler (Kady/production assistant) moved to New York from Cape Cod, Massachusetts to study at the Stella Adler Studio of Acting where she graduated in 2018. Since then, she has appeared in “Goodville” at the Off-Broadway New York Winterfest, and several award winning short films such as “Out of Boredom”, and Luperca Returns, which have been featured at New York Film Awards, The Brightside Film Festival, and Oaxaca Film Festival. She will be appearing in the upcoming short “We’re-Flutter: A Quest for Truth.” Caitlyn is delighted to be performing again for Hanging Cow Productions – she was last seen most recently on Off Broadway in “The Answers to Apathy,”  “All We Really Know is That We Exist,” and regionally in “My Big Fat Geek Wedding,” and “Who Killed Mama Souprano.”

Constance Christie (The Nurse/Willow) is thrilled to be in this 4th Off Broadway reprise of Angels Among Us! She began her acting career after earning her undergraduate degree from SUNY Stony Brook by taking acting classes at night and on weekends while working as a legal secretary during the day. She was just seen in Nov 2023 in “All We Really Know is That We Exist,” on Off Broadway! She spent nearly her entire weekly salary on classes and on books at the Drama Book Shop while also reading everything free she could find about working in the business. Almost all her free time was dedicated to reading plays and learning as much as possible. Constance booked several student films, several of which won awards at film festivals. Constance also participated in the NYC Fringe Festival and several other Off-Broadway productions. In 2009 Constance left NY to go to law school in Michigan. While Constance always believed her foundation helped her with her classes in litigation, Moot Court, Mock Trial and Trial Skills classes, performing still pulled at mind and heart. Several years after passing the NYS Bar Exam, Constance decided to stop silencing her love of the arts and performing. She began training and auditioning again. Recently she’s been seen on Off Broadway in “All We Really Know is That We Exist” and regionally in “My Big Fat Geek Wedding” and “Greased Lightning!”

Born and raised in the Bronx, this is Gary Vargas’s (Older Dr. Francis) fourth Off Broadway theatrical production with Hanging Cow Productions!  Gary was recently seen in “All We Really Know is that We Exist,” “All Because Of … Infidelity” at the American Theatre for Actors, and in “Who Killed Mama Souprano,” and “Greased Lightning” regionally.  He took his first acting class just over 3 years ago at Westchester Community College and has fallen in love with performing and has not looked back.  He is a Human Resources Manager for a Not-For-Profit organization in New York.  However, acting is a passion for him that he finally found the courage to pursue!  A few of Gary’s biggest inspirations are Tom Hanks, Gary Oldman, Paul Giamatti, and Walton Goggins.  When Gary is not working his day job or passion, he is performing non-stop for his wife and child.  His hobbies include motorcycle riding, off-roading trails, and reading graphic novels. Gary is extremely excited to be part of this production!  He would like to thank Hanging Cow Productions for continually taking a shot with him and giving him opportunities to pursue his dream and making him feel like family! He wants to thank his biggest supporter, his wife, who continues to give him the push to pursue his dream, along with his son, who he hopes to grow up to pursue his dreams no matter what life throws at him. He dedicates this performance to his mother, Sadie Vargas:  “I hope I’m making you proud as you look down from above.” 

Carlos Bernabel Jr (younger Dr. Francis) is thrilled to be making his off-broadway debut! He wants to thank his family and friends for all of their support. After moving to the city 3 years ago he is humbled to be surrounded by such wonderful and talented artists that are putting their faith in him to bring this production to life.
