Raccoon Log Ride

The fourth Saturday morning of each month, the cast of Raccoon Log Ride puts on an improv show for kids! This improvised woodland adventure gets everyone involved, and no two shows are ever the same! Best of all, kids from the audience have opportunities to play on stage!

$10 gets the whole family in the door! Runtime is about 60 minutes.

MEET THE CAST:

Courtney Fairall, Raccoon Log Ride
Bio coming soon!

Gabrielle Saliba, Raccoon Log Ride
Gabrielle is, unfortunately, married to Scott. Their's is a fruitful marriage, with many a stupid thing being born between them. Raccoon Log Ride is one such fruit (more of a vegetable, really). When she's not conceptualizing children's comedy with her husband or crafting dancing tacos from felt, you can find her leading movement and dance classes at her studio, A.M. Nashville. She is also the proud owner of a pretty solid post card collection, once went down Michigan Avenue on the back of a convertible Rolls-Royce with a Dennis Rodman impersonator and can remember three of the French words she learned in high school.

Jason Edwards, Raccoon Log Ride
Bio coming soon!

Kelsie Craig, Raccoon Log Ride
Bio coming soon!

Kristen Linton, Raccoon Log Ride
Kristen Linton was born up North but raised in Middle Tennessee. She did her learnings at New York University, The Stella Adler Studio of Acting, and Vanderbilt University. Impressed? Don't be. She's just kind of good at a lot of things. As an ENFP and a 4 on the enneagram, Kristen loves to send postcards and hates when patrons are too lazy to return their buggies to the proper receptacle. When she's not deep diving conspiracy theories, Kristen can be found belting out Britney Spears' tunes at local karaoke clubs. She’s been improvising for years as a high school Spanish teacher and is thrilled to bring her talent to the Third Coast Stage.

Mike Garvin, Raccoon Log Ride
Hailing from myriad corners of the Great American South, Mike is equal parts improv fan and trained practitioner. Exploding onto the stage as the runaway sheep in a Murray, Kentucky Christmas pageant, his training spans graduate studies in comedy and performance at Southern Illinois University to improv courses at iO in Chicago and Nashville’s own Third Coast. He has coached and performed with the troupes Community Floss and Cult of the Stage Monkey, and his celebrated duo Date Night with Mike & Eric has appeared at the Twin Cities and Dirty South Improv Festivals and in venues across the Midwest. In Nashville he performs stand up and storytelling, and leads unwitting patrons through historical tours of the area.

Patrick Shaffner, Raccoon Log Ride
Somewhere, out there, Patrick Shaffner is.

Ryan Citrino, Raccoon Log Ride
As a music director, he accompanies Cherry Bomb: An Improvised Musical. As a performer, you can see him on stage with Infinity Etc and Raccoon Log Ride. As a producer, he co-hosts Triple Threat, an Improv Cagematch with Bill Hillsman. As a musician, he plays regularly with a variety of acts throughout the Southeast region while simultaneously yelling that his EP is going to come out soon. As a giant, he is jolly and gentle.

Scott Field, Raccoon Log Ride
Scott Field loves everybody. He's annoyingly optimistic about people and situations and has gotten into trouble because of his open, tolerant disposition. Easy to laugh, Scott will make you think you're awesome even if you're not. A career classroom teacher in middle and high schools, Scott has a genetic goofball tendency which he honed at Improv Boston for seven years. He helped create the Improv Nashville Theater on 12th South and performed with Music City Improv before teaming up with Luke to open Third Coast Comedy. You can see him in Raccoon Log Ride, Celebrity Crush, Crash, Leone, and occasionally a Third Coast Comedy Show.
