Meet The Cast

  • Evian (Fran Fine)

    Evian is a Bay Area drag diva making a her debut as an actress on the Oasis stage. Evian’s proud to have work as a designer on nearly every Oasis Cabaret Production since reopening in 2021 and she thought it was about time she weaponizes that BFA in stage in the lights. You can catch Evians work as a performer and installation artist at Princess SF every Saturday or through her involvement in many community events such as Oaklash, and ButchQueen (2020 Winner). I hope you enjoy the show and feel the love that the entire cast has for this divalicious show.

  • Vanilla Meringue (Sylvia)

    Vanilla Meringue (she/her) is a multifaceted artist who sees drag as a discipline that encompasses creative expression, connection, activism and self-actualization. She is a veteran of drag-centered theatrical productions and loves the process of creating characters like Harry Poofter in Harry Poofter, Judy Bernly in 9 to 5, Miranda in Sex & The City and Satine in Moulin Rouge. She is thrilled to add the tacky and ridiculous Sylvia Fine to that roster. 

  • Loma Prietta (Yetta)

    Loma Prietta (she/her), the self-proclaimed "biggest disaster in San Francisco," is a beloved SF comedy queen who has brought laughter to nearly every bar in the city. Known as the queen of camp, cosplay, and clownery, she delivers everything from high-production numbers at Oasis to absurd antics at Monster Show, always pushing the boundaries of drag—and very often, taste. As a seasoned wig stylist, and the wigmaster for The Nanny, Loma has created signature hair for many of San Francisco’s drag stars, including many of the performers in this show! Her roots in theater began as a teeanger at the now-defunct legendary Hypnodrome, which sparked her start into drag and love of camp and all things weird and kooky. Though no stranger to Oasis, this production marks her first acting role on the Oasis stage. Expect nothing less than pure sillyness!

  • Marine Lay'Her (Nanny Mueller)

    Marine Lay’her got her first pay check as an actor in 1980. Onstage at OASIS, Marine has performed in BALONEY and played Mr. Roper in THREE’S COMPANY. She is super excited to be working in this production.

  • Sky Russell (Swing)

Originally from Townsend, Montana, stage acting was his childhood dream (though that little Mormon boy couldn't imagine it would turn out quite like this!). He holds a Bachelor's degree in Music Education from the University of Montana, Missoula, where he participated in community theater at MCT. After moving to the Bay Area in 2010, he performed with the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus for 9 years under the direction of Dr. Timothy Seelig. He is active in the men's BSDM community as a devious switch, teaching at Boots and Bulls#t, a bi-monthly bootblacking skill share at Transform1060. Humble gratitude to the following instructors and directors: Zelda Diehl, Miss Lisa Sharp, Jim Caron, Dr. David Cody, Dr. Seelig, Jocquese Whitfield, and Michael Phillis. Sky dedicates his performances to his new-born niece, Evie Long Legs, and to the memory of his deceased father, Delbert.
