ToastGun Company Members
Dan Telfer is the founding member of ToastGun productions. He also wrote and produced his first play, a comedy called Love Oven, with the company. He has since written a companion piece called The Oven Cycle that is, well, not much of a laugh. Of New Antarctica (produced by Flush Puppies), Kerry Reid of the Chicago Reader called the play "funny, poignant" and referred to the writing as "a sharp, whimsical script".Dan recently finished his Bachelor of the Arts with a concentration of Acting at Columbia College Chicago, which means he has a diploma that no-one cares about. He performed regularly at Chicago's Improv Olympic for three years. His teams included (but were not limited to) Club Foote, Mourning in Denver, Old Child Star, Minions of Love, and Pope Joan. The name "Pope Joan" was his idea and he misses it, his final team, so. He maintains this website (somehow) and is writing plays about the vacuum of space, sharks, the Chicago fire, and Nintendo bringing about the decline of Western Civilization. But that's only what they're about in an abstract way.
