Dyna Cella - She’s as classy as she is conservative. An obsessive wordsmith, she prefers books and newspapers to that strange “series of tubes” that is the internet. Her very high personal standards make her a thoughtful and clever therapist, yet tend to hide her extremely loving and loyal emotional side from those nearest and dearest, especially with her wife, Kit.

Cindy Janson - Kit’s sister. She’s usually high, either stoned or drunk. Can’t seem to keep an apartment or a job. Doesn’t seem to think that “crashing” at her sister’s place for months on end might be inappropriate. Thinks flirting with everyone and anyone is great way to have fun. Delights with people’s misconceptions of both her sexuality and her motives. However, despite all these shenanigans, if one listens closely, there are words of wisdom and experience to be garnered from her deceptively insightful mind.

The documentary film dude shooting every minute he can of Dyna, Kit and Cindy’s private life. He’s not the brightest bulb in the bunch, and he can be pretty touchy and sensitive, but he can also be the greatest of friends. And, despite his professional presence here, he can’t help become intertwined in the personal side of things. Especially with regards to Cindy, as he can’t quite figure out if he wants to sleep with her, or “be” her.
JOHN W. MCLAUGHLIN (Guy) earned an Advanced Associates Degree from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York City where he was also a member of the prestigious Academy Company. In 1996, he made his Off-Broadway debut in the US premier of English playwright Dusty Hughes’ campus drama “Bad Language” in the role of Alistair.

He then returned to stage to originate the role of Damien/Dorothy in the hit musical The Golden Gays for which he was nominated for Best Featured Performer by Don Grigware of BroadwayWorld.com. Most recently, John completed filming the feature film “Meth Head”, which is a story based on his own personal journey through an addiction to crystal meth. Meth Head will begin its festival tour this year, with John playing the supporting role of Bobby Blue. The great Michael Kearns once referred to John as “The love child of Rock Hudson and Charles Nelson Reilly”.
Dyna and Kit’s patient and empathetic therapist. Her many years with this frustratingly smart couple have led her to cover a bit of her soft, compassionate side and focus more on straightforward, no nonsense, and wonderfully humorous tactics. She has indeed become a master at navigating her professional life, however, her personal life is a bit of a disaster finding herself single again after a long-time, seemingly reliable relationship.
