“There are somethings that you just can’t do in front of other people. You can’t look at magazines with boobs in them; you can’t eat condoms on your mom’s nightstand; and you most certainly can’t stick your finger into the Duncan-Hines vanilla frosting tub. And so I waited.”

Rebecca Orchant is the Co-Owner of Pop+Dutch, a sandwich shop and curiosities market in Provincetown, MA, where she has lived year-round with her husband Sean since 2014. Formerly a Food Editor at The Huffington Post, Orchant also performs burlesque as The Duchess of Sandwich, is currently the Vice Chair of the Board of the Provincetown Commons, and contributes to The Provincetown Independent. She was born and raised in Albuquerque, NM, and received a BFA in Dramatic Writing from The University of New Mexico, where she received a regional award, and was a national finalist for the John Cauble Award for Outstanding Short Play from The Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival. She is probably thinking about cheese right now.

Billy Hough, born in Bakersfield, CA, is an actor, writer, and musician. He is best known for his show "Scream Along with Billy" which he performs with his partner, bassist Susan Goldberg. Hilton Als in "The New Yorker" (Aug 8, 2008) called the show "poignant and beautiful" and Hough "mesmerizing." The show was hatched at Enzo in Provincetown, MA, in 2006, and has since become as staple of the New York City underground music scene.
