WHO ARE THE SHE-RIFFS?
The She-Riffs of “That’s What She RIFFED” are our female cast members that take audiences
into the strange world of bad cinema whether it be animation, horror, sci-fi, fantasy, or noir films!
None of the She-Riffs have rehearsed anything before hand and most of the films screened are
ones they’ve never seen so if you’ve seen the film before, you already know more than they do!
The following is a list of our current She-Riffs:
WHITNEY BLACK –
Whitney Black graduated from Gainesville State College with an A.A. in Theatre. She was bitten by the acting bug at a young age, and she is continuing to follow her passion by being involved in community theatre, short films, and background work.
Her most recent roles include: Elvira in the stage production of Blithe Spirit, Ami in A Romantic Interlude (a Broken Lighthouse Pictures production), and background work in the feature film R19 and TV series Halt and Catch Fire.
She is continuing her training and enjoys working with people who love the craft as much as she does!

LELAND KARAS –
Léland Downs Karas is thrilled to be a part of "That's What She RIFFED"! When not enjoying really good bad movies, you can maybe spot her somewhere in the blurry background in recent TV shows or in other really good bad movies. Between set takes, she's an x-ray tech working in orthopedics saving lives by day and an aerialist enthusiast by some nights of the week. She obtained her college degree in theatre a long time ago and shortly after, obtained another degree in radiography so she can pay the bills. For more personal information, write to her mother. She loves snail mail.

SARAH CLARK –
Sarah Clark is just tickled pink to be a part of “That’s What She RIFFED”. She was born and raised in the Crown Jewel of Middle Georgia. That city? Its name is Macon. She currently lives in Athens with her husband, her dog, and several domesticated and semi-feral cats. Her brother in law (who works in movies) calls her a “pop culture aficionado with a razor-sharp wit.” Her accomplishments include a 2nd place finish in Parks and Rec trivia at a local bar by way of rock, paper, scissors and title of “Coolest Teacher” given by a group of kids on the playground. When not teaching, you might find her devouring a sad amount of reruns on Netflix, buying a buggy's worth of wine at Trader Joe's, and cringing over that thing she said that one time.
