Bell-Brege is the Founder
and Director of the hilarious improvisational comedy troupe -
Totally Unrehearsed Theatre. Bell-Brege originally wanted to
be a ballerina, but she wasn't quite graceful enough and her
hair wouldn't stay in a bun. Instead, she moved on to
comedy and it was a better fit than any tu-tu! She has studied
at Second City-Chicago and did an improv intensive with the
guru of improv Paul Sills (founder of improv-comedy shows in
Chicago in the 1950's). Bell-Brege also teaches improv
at Mark Ridley's Comedy Castle, and does public speaking on
the importance of humor in life and how to use it. A
former Communications Specialist for UAW-Chrysler - which she
says was like Lucy playing in a Star Wars movie, she was also
a Radio Host, Copywriter, and National Tour Commentator for
Working Woman Magazine. Besides her career, Bell-Brege is an
extremely happy wife (married to Darrin Brege who is also in
the troupe-how convenient-eh?) and mother to their adorable
son! | |

DARRIN
BREGE |
|
 |
 |
|
Brege has been a
hilarious, energetic member of TUT since 1994. He is
also a freelance graphic artist and the cover artist and
illustrator for the Michigan and American Chillers
Series. He has a "how to" art book called 'The
Chill Art Sketchbook' in bookstores now, which
he co-wrote with his wife. Darrin does over 30
impressions, and was the comedic impressionist for many years
for Detroit's number one sports talk radio station am1130 WDFN
The Fan. Brege also does numerous commercial
voice-overs, as well as television spots. He feels that
"it's the grilling that makes it good"… not really, but you've
most likely heard that a few times in one of his many Tubby's
Subs TV spots. He is married to Karen - one
funny couple that undoubtedly belong together. To
him, there's nothing more special than having a serious family
discussion as Archie Bunker, or as the Osbournes, Peter and
Lois Griffin, or the Simpsons. Doh!

JEFF
WILSON |
|
 |
 |
|
Wilson has been performing
with Totally Unrehearsed Theatre for over 8 years. In
that time Jeff has gone through many phases including: "leave
me alone and stop looking at me" to "I'm a little teapot". A
hilarious performer and writer for TUT, Wilson worked as a
Birmingham Groves High School Disciplinarian for 18
years. Which Wilson says if you do that job you have to
have a keen sense of humor, or else you will find yourself
walking barefoot on the beach one day wearing a corduroy suit
while looking for skittles. Wilson has the corner on quick
wit; he has sold numerous comic writings to Joan Rivers and
various other comics, Mad & Cracked Magazines, as well as
radio. | |

HEATHER
KOVACIK |
|
 |
 |
|
A 7 year cast member with
Totally Unrehearsed Theatre Heather will tell you that she got
hired into TUT based on her ability to make a monkey
face. Kovacik brings a youthful spontaneity and hilarity
to the troupe with her over-the-top energy and street
characters. She attributes this to an Italian upbringing
where she says she can't even pronounce some of the
names. She has a total love of animals, which may
attribute to her being able to copy their facial expressions
so perfectly. Kovacik is one fantastic interior house
painter, which she does full time, running her own business.
