Brady McAtee is a ventriloquist and musician in Bellingham Washington who specializes in nostalgic performance. Brady handcrafts his puppets in his workshop and enjoys performing frequently around the Whatcom County area. His style is directly inspired by the vaudevillian ventriloquists who pioneered the artform near the turn of the 20th century.
Allijah Motika is a singer/songwriter from Asheville, North Carolina. His songs tell stories of the simple things in life and the uncertainty of the unknown, delivered with playful melodies and thoughtful lyrics. Since arriving in Bellingham in 2019 he has been slowly gathering stories to tell. “Every story is a song that’s just waiting for someone to find it…and start to sing.”
Evan creates, preforms, records and produces music…a verifiable Bon Vivant! He will be playing his own music at the March 14th show and accompanying the letters. You can learn more about Evan on his website https://evaningalls.com

Kimberly is lending us her voice to read the “lobby letter” – a communal letter typed on a vintage typewriter by audience members passing through the New Prospect Theatre. Doesn’t that sound grand!
Andrew, a co-producer on the KMRE radio versions of To Whom It May Concern, has decided to step in front of the microphone and share a few letters from the gilded years of advertising.
Nico will read a letter Thursday February 15th 7pm at the New Prospect Theatre.
Always in awe of the ocean, dramatic movements of clouds and the inescapable humbling power of nature, her work is a meditation into the unpredictability and transience of the human experience. Her studio practice includes painting, print arts, poetry, prose & book arts, music & video production. In addition to new conceptual visual & music projects in the works, she has a forthcoming book of prose and illustration titled, Drawing Clouds, coming out in 2024 from Bored Wolves Publishing.
Originally from a coastal town in central California, she left her home state in 1992 to live in the Pacific Northwest. She briefly moved to Lexington, Kentucky in 2021 and then made her return to Bellingham, Washington in June 2023.
Since receiving her Bachelor’s degree in Interdisciplinary Visual Art from the University of Washington at the turn-of-the-century, she has been developing, showing and refining her multidisciplinary practice. When not deep into a creative project, she spends time lost in thought on nature walks with her dog, meets-up for coffee with her college-aged kid, play’s D&D and takes improv classes with her partner of many years.
Andy Bunn joins the letter show Feb 15th. Andy is a songwriter living in Bellingham WA who writes character-focused songs.
Some of the stories in the songs stick mostly to the facts and some are tall tales. The characters in the stories feel real to him and that’s enough.
In addition to solo stuff, he plays bluegrass in the High Mountain String Band.
