After training at The Boston Conservatory, The Second City Hollywood, and the Upright Citizens Brigade, Rigby Jones got her start in 2012 when Pacific Opera Project was willing to take a chance on a young unknown opera singer. She loves performances as varied as opera, art song, Broadway (standard and Forbidden), improv, and traditional Welsh music. In 2017, Rigby competed in the National Eisteddfod in Wales which was broadcast on BBC Wales TV and Radio and won 2nd place in the mezzo-soprano category. You can catch her performing often with OC Cabaret and the Welsh Choir of Southern California and in her dynamic concerts; “L’Amour Fou” and “Welsh Woman”. rigbyjonesmezzo.com

Sol is a SoCal born and raised performer and teaching artist dedicated to uplifting the stories of underrepresented communities, as art has always been one of the most powerful tools of social change. Some notable credits: ¡SÍ SE PUEDE! (Center Theatre Group), Sama Sama (East West Players), JU1CE (The Wayward Artist), The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Casa 0101). Sol is forever grateful for and inspired by the support of their family and the community of artists they surround themselves with.

He also appeared as part of the Deadpool Choir at San Diego Comic-Con where he helped unveil Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom. He can also be spotted as the “Dancing Manchild” in Sabrina Carpenter’s “Manchild” music video—proof that his range extends from classic musical comedy to controlled chaos.

Jacob is represented by Bloc Talent Agency and is dedicated to storytelling that resonates beyond the stage, using theatre as a way to inspire connection, reflection, and meaningful change. 

Jacob is proud to be back at Kelscabaret sharing the stage with this incredible cast! You can check him out in OBC’s production of Shrek in September!

Endless gratitude goes to his incredible support system: his wife Regina, his mom and dad, his family, HSPA, PVPA, AMDA, his agent James, and his dog Benji—who remains unimpressed but supportive in his own way.

Andrew is proud to be a “Disney Adult”...no, not one of those kinds, but he’s been an annual passholder to Disneyland since he was a toddler. In addition to being a life-long Disney fan, he had the amazing opportunity to perform with Disney Cruise Line as a mainstage performer, fulfilling his dream of portraying Genie in Aladdin a Musical Spectacular. A SoCal native, Andrew has had the pleasure of performing across the country performing with some amazingly talented artists. In 2025, Andrew concluded his run as Amos Hart in the national tour of Chicago. Other favorite recent credits include: Uncle Fester (The Addams Family; 5-Star Theatricals), Mr. Mushnik (Little Shop of Horrors; Ramsey Theatre Company), Nicely_Nicely (Guys & Dolls; Musical Theatre West), and Cowardly Lion (The Wizard of Oz; Lythgoe Family Productions/TFAC).
