Christi Waldon (PA) is so grateful to have such a wonderful family of Point Break Live! And happy to be blessed by such a loving & supportive family in Texas. Raised on the Stooges, Chaplin, & Mel Brooks so she can't help but have love for the game. Did some time at UCB in NYC & The Groundlings here in L.A. Some of her favorite productions include producing Friday Night Fight Club (a live fight sketch show in NYC); acting in The Narrow Gate, The Captain & Me, Dogtown Kook Patrol, and Jack Squat; & stunt coordinating for Oral Fixation, Nightmare, and Marvin the Matador. But she really shines when wielding the swords, knives, baseball bats, and crobars herself. In other words, don't try & jump this little sprite in the back alley. She'll tear you up, son!

Jennifer Jean (Tyler) is a California native who, at the tender age of 14, was forcibly relocated to a land of cowboys, pickup trucks and big hair…a.k.a. Dallas, where she was promptly nicknamed "Death" for her inability to get a tan. But Jennifer persevered, and even found a husband- who took note of her inner rage and signed her up for acting classes with Steppenwolf and Second City. In addition to her “tartly terrific” performance in PBL!, Jennifer has appeared on both American and Japanese television, onstage in countless improv and sketch shows, and as a non-singing nightmarish nurse in the L.A.
