Strictly speaking Abigail doesn’t “do” acting. She once had a lead in Arsenic and Old Lace (Abby Brewster) and since then has been convinced that she can only play old people. She spends a good deal of time working theater tech and is a great lover of performing arts in general.
Abby spends her time alternating between reading, excessive interwebbing, and late night star-gazing during the all-too-long Pennsylvania winters. Most recently Buzzfeed found her email address and has started sending her weekly updates entitled “This Week in Cats” which she is afraid to open.

When not portraying Lane, Taylor plays guitar, reads about people worth emulating, and continues his pursuit of the ultimate handyman status.
