Asher Stern is a burgeoning song-and-dance man with throwback style. Asher has found success on the stage and film, highlighted by his turn in Greta Gerwig’s Little Women playing Demi the son of Emma Watson’s Meg. He’s also lent his voice to Transformers Rescue Bots and gave life to the character of Echolocation for the Boston Museum of Science’s Nature’s Superheroes exhibit and ad campaign.
Simonne Stern turned an on-a-whim audition into a role as LULU in The Boston Opera House’s Broadway Touring run of Waitress. Officially, and undeniably, bitten by the acting bug, she has since gone on to perform in a variety of commercials and stage productions, including Mamma Mia at North Shore Music Theater. She’ll be appearing as Colin Farrell’s daughter and performing alongside John Malkovich, in the upcoming Tate Taylor film, Eve, with film stars Jessica Chastain.
