The people behind the room

Pulled from the printed program credits and the biographies published in the digital companion.

Framed portrait of Stephanie Reese

Created and directed by

Stephanie Reese

Stephanie Reese shaped the entire experience across performance, direction, festival leadership, and the emotional frame of the room itself.

The printed program describes Stephanie as an international singer, actress, and philanthropist whose work has ranged from Carnegie Hall to community-rooted cultural organizing. The digital program now keeps that same leadership visible while carrying her curatorial voice across the room, the booklet, and the public site.

Sabrina Fiander

Sabrina Fiander moves through The Asian Monologues as producer, contributor, and performer, helping shape both the logistics and the tone of the evening.

The printed bio describes Sabrina as a Cornish graduate in Theater and Original Works who built a career across Pacific Northwest stages and Los Angeles television before returning to Bainbridge Island. That mix of performance intelligence and production care is part of what keeps the room intimate and steady.

Misty Munro

Misty Munro brings heart, humor, organization, and backstage steadiness to the evening.

The printed bio introduces Misty as a teacher in Mukilteo, a Bainbridge Island resident, and a passionate performer who shares musical theatre with her children while continuing to study voice and performance with Stephanie Reese. As stage manager, she helps create a thoughtful, welcoming space for the stories and performers to shine.

Yuki Moxon

Yuki Moxon carries a deeply intergenerational story of identity, family, and belonging into the room while also helping produce the event.

The printed bio names Yuki as a Yonsei, or fourth-generation Japanese American, born in Los Angeles, raised in Seattle, and shaped by four years spent living in Japan. Her life between cultures and generations gives her work in The Asian Monologues a clear emotional center rooted in family identity and belonging.

Musical director and pianist

Katrina Noble

Katrina Noble builds the musical spine of the evening as both musical director and pianist.

The printed bio traces Katrina’s musical life from beginning piano at age three to accompanying choirs, soloists, operas, and musicals across the community. Now based in Silverdale, she describes it as an honor to help create the soundtrack for these stories.

Cole Rees

Cole Rees supports the technical delivery of the evening at BIMA.

The program credits list sound and tech as part of the creative backbone of the event, helping the stories land clearly without pulling attention away from the people carrying them.

Brand and visual design

Beau Ross

Beau Ross shaped the public-facing visual language carrying The Asian Monologues across the web, the printed program, and the wider audience journey.

The printed bio frames Beau’s work at the intersection of strategy, story, technology, and culture. The digital program now keeps that brand and visual design credit visible alongside the rest of the official creative team instead of leaving it implicit.
