About Pepys Inc.
Pepys Inc. is an art collective and parody tech startup founded in 2010 by Artists/Producers Amy Couchoud and Joseph Price. We bring together technologists, data analysts, writers, and performers to create real mobile applications and theatrical experiences that challenge our assumptions about our personal relationships with technology.
- Joseph Price (Producer/Performer) is a playwright, storyteller, and technologist. His past Fringe credits include This Digital Life: Basic Instructions for Coping with the 21st Century (Writer/Producer), Hopelessly Devoted (Producer), The Sin Show (Performer), and Logic, Luck and Love (Co-Director). He is a member of the faculty of Washington's SpeakeasyDC and has told stories on their stage about wrestling over a garter belt, streaking, and his Google Calendar. By day he is a business analyst with Threespot, a digital communications agency in Columbia Heights. He also hosts The Tongue Party.
- Amy Couchoud (Producer/Director) is a four-year veteran of the Capital Fringe Festival whose past productions include the sold-out runs of Chocolate Jesus (Director), Chocolate Jesus: The Resurrection (Director), The Sin Show (Co-Director) and Logic, Luck and Love (Co-Director).

She has also acted with numerous DC theaters including Studio, Studio Secondstage, Catalyst, Constellation, and Source. She is a graduate of the Studio Theatre Acting Conservatory.
- Julie Garner (Collaborator) is attracted to artistic projects that are different and a little bit scary. She started out doing improv 15 years ago, and has since become a teacher, traveled with the circus, and performed with numerous DC theaters (including Studio, Imagination Stage, Forum, Rorschach, Faction of Fools, Molotov, Lean and Hungry, and Constellation.) She is currently a teaching artist at Imagination Stage and The Studio Theatre Acting Conservatory. She also does relatively non-scary things like film, commercials, industrials and voice overs. juliegarner.com
- Chuck Harmston (Developer/Data Analyst) has quickly become a regular in the DC performing arts community. In addition to performances at two regular SpeakeasyDC events, he took the stage at their sold-out INTERSECTIONS festival production Mixed, Blended, Shaken, & Stirred: Stories about Today's American Family. He pseudonymously pens posts for a well-regarded culture blog, and his business card calls him a web developer and digital communications strategist at Threespot.

His sketch comedy group, Seven Gram Rocks!, is in its first season and performs with Tiger's Blood Theater in Arlington, VA. Derek also studies improv at the Washington Improv Theater.
- Allen Leis (Developer) grew up playing the son of two theatre nuts who met in a mental hospital. Despite these auspicious origins, he is reasonably sane, and has crafted web experiences for clients including the DOD, U.S. Senate, and State Department. He loves cats and brunettes (but in different ways), and can often be found at the bocce field.
- Jason Pittman (Performer) is a storyteller, writer, and public school teacher at Hollin Meadows Science and Math Focus School. He can be seen performing regularly at Vijai Nathan's Fan-Freaking-Tastic or on the SpeakeasyDC stage, and was included in their sold out Top Shelf show last fall.

Hannah works in the digital world, focusing on agency business development, web analytics, search engine optimization and everything else tech, design or development related. Working in a creative industry has naturally led to her curiosity in the arts and desire to participate in this year�s Fringe.
