Stella Adler, Stefan, Stephen and Ron for this
collaboration – as well as his family for all their support.
STEPHEN EPSTEIN (Multimedia Designer/Tech Op.)
Stephen has spent his life working at the crossroads of
creativity and technology. As a musician and a
recording engineer, an actor and a theater tech, and as
a filmmaker, Stephen has sought out interesting,
creative, and technical challenges for more than 30
years. Over time, his unconventional skill set ultimately
led him to NASA, where he works as a multimedia
producer at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, bringing the
extraordinary stories of their missions to explore the
universe to the public. Stephen has collaborated with
Stefan previously on Sitcom the Play, The Singing
Skeleton, and Hello (six Ovation nominations). He is
thrilled to be able to contribute to Stefan's latest vision of
Space and dedicates his involvement to his beautiful
wife, Maureen, and his ridiculously awesome boys,
Benny and Jack.
RON WOOD (QLAB 3 Design/Technical Support/
Webmaster/Assistant Tech Op.)
Ron has been acting on stage since 1988. In that time,
he has been in many productions. Here are his
favorites: Crimes of the Heart, A Good Sleep Badly,
Next Week, Come Back Little Sheba, Houseguest, Last
Week, Scorpio Rising, Blue Rainbow Death, Poster of
the Cosmos, Baseball, The Good Year, and Hidden in
This Picture. This is the seventh play Ron and Stefan
have collaborated on, the last being The Good Year
right here in this very theater. When he’s not working in
theater, he is the Director of Information Technology for
a consumer electronics company in Camarillo and a
volunteer with the Ventura County Sheriff’s Mountain
Search and Rescue.
VICTORIA GOODMAN (Digital Artist)
Born in Los Angeles and currently residing in Austin,
Texas, Victoria is a digital artist, 3D content creator,
writer, professional photographer, and anthropologist.
Known as vyktohria in the artist community, she is
completely self-taught, and her interests in digital art
continue to grow. Motivated by an intrinsic desire to
contribute something beautiful and lasting to the world,
her favorite part of being a digital artist is traveling the
Texas ComiCon circuit, meeting fans, and selling her
art. She holds degrees in Creative Writing and
Anthropology and a Master’s Degree in Evolutionary
Ecology. Never setting limits on the boundaries of her
knowledge, she is always looking for new things to
learn. Victoria is thrilled to be a part of Stefan's project
and dedicates her contributions to the show to her angel
and muse, Bryan Headrick. You can check out her art
on her website, www.vyktohria.com.
PAULA HIGGINS (Costume Design)
Paula counts herself lucky to have been making a living
doing theatre for nearly 40 years. She teaches at
CSUN, where she most recently designed costumes for
Urinetown and Don Giovanni. In addition, she designs
costumes for LA Opera Education and Community
Engagement, including the annual Cathedral show, with
its cast of 100 leads and community members. Paula
also designs for the LA Gay and Lesbian Center, where
she designed costumes for the critically acclaimed
productions of The Goat, or Who Is Sylvia and The
Laramie Project: Ten Years Later. Paula is delighted to

her want to throw things. Wigs provided by “Wigboys.”
