Darrin is an award-winning writer, composer, actor, television host, as well as Canada’s most notorious drag performer. In 2003 Hagen became the first Drag Queen in Canada to host a national television series, and was honoured with the Rosie Award (AMPIA) for best Male Host, for Who’s On Top?. He has been awarded 5 Elizabeth Sterling Haynes Awards for his work in Edmonton Theatre. For Guys In Disguise, specialists in cross-dressing comedies, he was created fourteen pieces of theatre that have been produced across Canada and in the U.S. In 2005, Hagen was named as one of 100 Edmontonians of the Century for the city’s centennial anniversary celebrations. His name came alphabetically right after Wayne Gretzky’s. To the best of his knowledge, he’s the only Drag Queen on that list.

Trevor is delighted to be back! BitchSlap! is officially the third show he has done with Guys In Disguise, but it's the one he keeps coming back to, over and over around the globe. He made his Guys In Disguise debut as the evil Rose Thorne in Tranne Of Green Gables, and then did double duty as Hitler and Goebbels in The Neo-Nancies: Hitler's Kickline. He was most recently seen as a continuing member of the Loud & Queer Players at the Sweet Sixteen edition of the Loud & Queer Cabaret for the seventh (?) or eighth (?) time, and The Busy World Is Hushed for Northern Light Theatre. Recent directing credits include Effie's Burning, Crooked and The World's Wife (at Fringe 2007), Dinner With Friends (Theatre Buffet at the Roxy), Fat Pig (Sterling nomination) for Northern Light, where he continues as Artistic Director. He has received nominations in costume and set design, directing, acting, co-op or collective production, and playwrighting (for which he received the award for The Watermelon Girls). His Tales From The Hospital has been published in an anthology entitled Exploring Alternative Albertas. Special thanks to Gina Puntil for the heels, Darrin for the role, and Davina…well, just because.

"It is my passion and love to create for everyone to see."
Jaime was trained in fashion design at Lethbridge College and in costuming at Red Deer College, working on productions like South Pacific, The Seagull, Jazzcracker, Good Night Desdemona, Good Morning Juliet, and Beware of the Quickly Who. Her first costume design was for Peace River's Peace Players in Moon Over Buffalo and The Importance of Being Earnest. Now based in Edmonton, she has designed for plays and films, including The Giraffe Who Thought He Could Fly and Sure Shot Dombrowski. She has also established J. Ireland Designs, and has designed several custom costumes, wedding dresses, evening gowns and corsets. BitchSlap! was her first time fitting a dress on a man's body, and she enjoyed figuring out how to create a curved silhouette where there is none.

Ian always feels warm and fuzzy inside when he works with Guys in Disguise. He has been designing projected media (video) for theatre for the last six years. He has won a Sterling Special Achievement Award for Outstanding Achievement in Multimedia Design 2003. As well he was the recipient in 2006 of a Mayor's Achievement Award in Arts and Business after being nominated twice. Ian's day job is as a photographer/owner of EPIC Photography Inc. Finally, Ian's existence in this universe could not be defined without the love and support of Gina Moe and his cat Medea.

Gina is very pleased to be working on BitchSlap! with Guys in Disguise. This is Gina’s 5th outing with the ‘Guys’ having worked on productions of The Edmonton Queen, Tornado Magnet, PileDriver!, La Duchesse de Langeaise and Get Off The Cross, Mary. Recent theatre credits include Urban Tales, The Busy World is Hushed and Fat Pig, for Northern Light Theatre. The Retreat from Moscow and Trying for Theatre Calgary, 3 Mo Divas for the Citadel Theatre. Gina would like to thank her husband Ian for his love and support.

James is a founding member of Guys in Disguise and co-wrote their very first Fringe show Delusions Of Grandeur with Darrin in 1987. He has appeared in many of their shows since, including Guys In Disguise and Guys In Disguise 2: The Sequin. As a makeup designer he has prettied up many faces of many genders, including Hagen’s, for shows such as La Duchesse De Langeais, Hosanna, and BitchSlap!. Last year, for The Neo-Nancies, James got to turn pretty boys into pretty girls. He was nominated for an AMPIA for Best Makeup for the Life Channel series Who’s On Top? James has performed as Twiggy for two decades at drag balls all over North America, and has more drag titles than purses.
