Meet the Cast
Julianna Goldsmith (Eurydice)
Julianna is thrilled to be returning to the stage as Eurydice! She's grateful to be part of the SRS community and to have previously performed with Cease & Desist in their one-act play festivals. Other theatre credits include Ashlee in Dance Nation, Jan in WYRD, and Octavius Caesar in Antony & Cleopatra, all at Atlantic Stage 2 in NYC. On screen, she can be seen in the indie horror film The Ritual, streaming on Amazon and Apple TV. Endless gratitude to her parents, family, and friends for their unwavering love and support, from her first time stepping onto a black box stage at ten years old to every stage since. Love you all! @juliannagoldsmith
Isabel Marcus (Eurydice)
Isabel is so grateful to be working with Cease and Desist again, after she shared last years’ Bellwether with many fellow Eurydice cast mates and crew members.
Originally from Texas, Isabel has been acting since she was 12 and is coming up on a decade in LA. Some of her favorite roles have been as a Recurring Guest Star on NBC’s This Is Us and ABC’s Fresh off the Boat and as the Assistant Director for the Silverlake Children’s Theater Group. In July, she had the honor of Assistant Stage Managing a production of Proof by David Auburn right next door at the El Portal Theater, starring Ed Begley Jr. and his daughter Hayden, directed by Stuart Rogers, and Stage Managed by Megan Raitano.
She has been a student at Stuart Rogers Studios for 8 years, where she has found some of her best friends and collaborators. She would like to thank all of her Los Angeles community and found family, which she is continually awestruck to be a part of.
Alexander Chung (Orpheus)
And so you make the farm, and so you disappear into your days, your days. Into the ground. Before you start each day, the place is as it is, and at the days end, it is as it is, a little changed by work, but still itself, having included you and everything you’ve done. And it is who you are, and you are what it is. You will work many days no one will ever see; their record is the place. This way you come to know that something moves in time that time does not contain. For by this timely work you keep yourself alive as you came into time, and as you’ll leave: God’s dust, God’s breath, a little Light.
-Wendell Berry (The Farm)

Celest D'Amore (Little Stone)
Celest is born and raised in Glendora. She graduated from UC Berkeley where she was a tour guide, on the board of a successful startup company, and an entertainment reporter for CalTV. She has been studying at Stuart Rogers’ Studios since 2024. This is the third Cease and Desist production that she has been apart of. She is currently producing and starring in the short film: Too Good. On the weekends you can find her snowboarding (and getting injured), head banging at raves (PLUR), and giving her friends legal advice for non-legal matters (always get a prenup, ladies).
