Featuring:
Dae Hong Kim as Don
Dae Hong Kim is an educator and media artist who has spent his career teaching game design and building virtual worlds — which means he has plenty of experience creating characters, and now, for a change, he gets to be one. A lifelong believer in “learning by doing,” he figures it’s time to take his own advice, and he is delighted to join the 10MPF for Unchecked Baggage — though slightly alarmed that live theater has no reset button. He would also like to state, for the record, that any resemblance between himself and a stubborn dad who refuses to let a bottle of water go to waste is purely coincidental.
Anastasiya A. Nartovich as Deb
Anastasiya A. Nartovich has done many bizarre things on stage in the name of live theatre, including eating aspic and going over Niagara Falls in a barrel in Wonder of the World, strangling a nun with a rosary in The White Whore and the Bit Player, and performing an operatic chorus of “it was the mushrooms, they were poisoned” in Four Plays for Coarse Actors, but this sunblock thing in Unchecked Baggage at the 10MPF is a first for her. She hopes all your future encounters with the TSA (and your in-laws) are smooth and uncomplicated, and thanks you from the bottom of her heart for coming out and supporting live theatre!
Mónica as Dinah
Mónica is a Chilean currently studying acting at University here in Korea. Alongside acting, She has also explored writing and directing, which has allowed her to experience theatre from different perspectives. She enjoys creating and telling stories, and she is always looking for new ways to grow as an artist.
Jiung Kim as Seth
Kim Jiung brings his filmmaking experience to the Seoul Players’ 10-Minute Play Festival, taking on a new challenge as an actor. He has spent the past two years making films and gaining hands-on experience behind the camera in cinematography, lighting, directing, editing, and production.
Although he has appeared in front of the camera a few times, this is his first experience performing in theater. He is excited to step outside his comfort zone, explore storytelling from a new perspective, and discover a new side of himself on stage.
