TSL is more than just Linda Mussmann and Claudia Bruce. From their earliest days in New York City, through their move to Hudson, they have relied on a rotating cast of actors, musicians, stagehands, and artists. Here we have highlighted some frequent collaborators, and listed their appearances in TSL productions over the years. If you have ever browsed through the Mussmann/Bruce Archive, you may have recognize a few of these faces.
