 About Co-Creator Liz Conway

Liz Conway is thrilled to be reviving the Loush Sisters for another go-round of holiday debauchery. As co-creator and performer, Liz has been living the Loush Sister life for over 15 years. She is proud to be called a core artist at CPT and is an award-winning actor who has performed on stages throughout Northeast Ohio. She currently serves on the Board of Directors at Talespinner Children’s Theatre, the only professional children’s theatre in Cleveland. When not doing extensive research into booze and pop songs, she is raising the next generation of Loush Sisters with her husband in Cleveland.


About Co-Creator, Associate Director, Music Director, & pianist Michael Seevers Jr.

Michael began his college studies as a Spanish Education major at Bowling Green State University, but the theatre bug was still too great and he switched his major to Theatre Management at Baldwin Wallace College. Michael is a classically trained pianist, as well as a singer, dancer, and actor. He has performed, in all capacities, all over Northeast Ohio. He won a best lead actor award for his work as Sparky in Forever Plaid. Michael was Carlo Cannoli in Tony n’ Tina’s Wedding for a year run at the Hanna Theatre. In 2001 he became “Mr. Bitch” in Cleveland Public Theatre’s wildly successful two-season run of Hedwig and the Angry Inch, culminating in the Original Cleveland Cast Recording. In 2003 during Mrs. Bob Cratchit’s Wild Christmas Binge at CPT, he met cast members Beth Wood and Liz Conway and the Spleeny Sisters were born – later changing the name to The Loush Sisters (that’s loose and lush, but fancy) for their 2011 Playhouse Square one-act production.
