  • Cassidy is an actor, writer and director. In 2022 she won the Jeff Best Actor Award for her work in The Luckiest at Raven Theatre. Her acting career in Chicago includes performing at the Goodman and Steppenwolf Theatres, as well as in television and film. Recent television credits include Chicago Fire, Mixtape and Easy.

  • Poppy is an actor, writer, artist and member of the I.A.T.S.E. union. Her most recent credits include assisting in props on The Bear S2 for FX. Her acting credits include Chicago Fire and Chicago PD. She grew up in Northern California acting in community theater, film and commercials. She has a diverse background working in scenic design and painting in theater and television. Along with Cassidy she is a founding member of One Year Chekhov. 

In 2021 Cassidy and Poppy wrote the pilot for a television show that would become the short film Rabbit Rabbit: a dark surreal comedy about women in their 30s, friendship, abortion and its aftermath. On June 24, 2022 the supreme court ruled on the Dobb’s Decision, which effectively overturned Roe v. Wade and changed the landscape of reproductive rights. This ruling served as a pivotal moment for the project — the urgency of the dire ruling helped to define the main characters and story around the themes of feminism, reproductive health, and building small utopias within your community . This short film is intended as both a stand alone short and as a proof of concept for a larger show.
