Kurt Bollinger Position: Shift Manager Birthdate: October 26, 1986 First Appearance: Multiplex #1 SHOW HISTORY HIDE HISTORY Kurt has worked at the Multiplex 10 since he was 16. He can swing a mean broomstick, and he has a bit of a competetive streak. One of Kurt's chief interests is special effects — particularly practical and make-up effects for horror movies. Kurt does the make-up and splatter for the gang's practical jokes. Although he has a juvenile sense of humor which rubs off on those around him, Kurt takes his job seriously and was often seen filling in for the largely absent management, when he was a shift supervisor. He is Melissa’s boyfriend and perhaps the only person who likes Jason because of, not in spite of, his often difficult personality. After Jason quit in the fall of 2007, Kurt was sad, but he got by with a little help from his friends. Six months later, one of the assistant manager positions opened up, and both Neil and Kurt were bumped up, with Kurt taking Neil's old shift manager slot and Jason being rehired to fill Kurt's shift supervisor position.

Jason Atwood Position: Shift Supervisor Birthdate: November 7, 1986 First Appearance: Multiplex #3 SHOW HISTORY HIDE HISTORY Perpetually crabby Jason is half Filipino, half white, but proudly indentifies as Filipino when convenient, such as when he's cracking racist jokes — ironically, he claims, because of his mixed race and leftist politics. In Summer 2006, Jason started dating fellow Multiplex 10 employee, Devina Trivedi. When Devi returned to school in the fall, they continued seeing each other long distance. Devi returned to the Multiplex 10 again, in the summer of 2007, but Devi and Jason had a rocky transition back to a same-city couple and soon broke up. Shortly after, Jason confessed to Becky that he was in love with her and had been for some time. But when Becky didn't leave her boyfriend Jay, he quit. He worked several jobs, including a sub-par pizza joint called Pizzeria Paradiso after leaving the Multiplex, but seemed to get fired from each in quick succession. After a few weeks, he started hanging around the theater again to see free movies, but avoided running into Becky until Melissa confronted him about it. Once Jason had started talking to Becky again, his resistance to coming back to the Multiplex 10 disappeared, and he asked for his old job back, but a shuffle-up in the Multiplex 10 management ended up with Jason taking over Kurt's shift supervisor position instead, with Kurt getting promoted to shift manager. Recently, Jason and Angie have started dating, despite a rocky beginning… She even appears to have somewhat of a calming effect on him. The Lives of Others has recently replaced Fritz Lang's M on Jason's top five favorite films list. READ Jason'S BIO PAGE

Becky Bookman Position: Staff (projectionist, usher, concessionist, cashier) Birthdate: March 13, 1987 First Appearance: Multiplex #5 SHOW HISTORY HIDE HISTORY Becky primarily works as a projectionist, because of her rapport with the projectors, but is sometimes seen in other positions. She plans to be a grade school science teacher after she finishes college. Despite her scientific inclinations, Becky has a bit of a romantic streak, and especially loves Jane Austen. Becky long harbored a crush for Jason before he started dating Devi in 2006. The following winter, she began seeing Jay from Flickhead Video, the video store two storefronts over in the strip mall the Multiplex 10 is in, but he broke up with her because he felt she was still in love with Jason. Soon after Devi and Jason broke up, he attempted to kiss Becky — on the anniversary of his first kiss with Devi, in the same location — infuriating Becky, who immediately went to Flickhead Video and asked Jay to give her another chance. Things seem to be progressing well, as they are now officially boyfriend/girlfriend. READ Becky'S BIO PAGE

Melissa Recar Position: Staff (usher, concessionist, cashier) Birthdate: January 28, 1987 First Appearance: Multiplex #19 SHOW HISTORY HIDE HISTORY Melissa is Kurt's girlfriend (and as his girlfriend, she puts up with a lot). She is considerably smarter than Jason and has a younger sister. On the radio, Melissa uses the callsign “Racer Aslyum,” a modified version of her name spelled backwards. Generally patient with the boys, despite their (lack of) maturity, she occasionally has to dole out some tough love. But after Kurt finally succeeded in scaring Melissa with one of his pranks (for the first time in over three years), she finally broke down and embarked on a campaign to get him back… READ Melissa'S BIO PAGE

Franklin Onassis Position: Staff (projectionist, usher, concessionist, cashier) Birthdate: December 9, 1988 First Appearance: Multiplex #21 SHOW HISTORY HIDE HISTORY Franklin is a Computer Science major, with a Computer Information Science minor. He is also somewhat of a video game junkie. On the radio, he uses the callsign “Black Panther.” Franklin was very excited to be trained as a projectionist, in the advent of a digital projection system being installed at the Multiplex 10.

Angie Kurokami Position: Staff (usher, concessionist, cashier) Birthdate: December 6, 1989 First Appearance: Multiplex #40 SHOW HISTORY HIDE HISTORY Sometimes called “Angry” behind her back, Angie gets flustered easily under pressure, but is generally soft-spoken and keeps to herself. Since her introduction, she and Kurt seem to have bonded somewhat, perhaps due to a mutual love of zombie and horror movies. After her ex-boyfriend Midnight broke up with Angie because, as a Christian, she chose not to have sex with him, Angie began hanging out with the rest of the staff more, particularly Sunny, a fellow Christian. Recently, Jason and Angie have started dating, despite a rocky beginning…  In addition to horror flicks, Angie also loves comics. While it was running, her favorite strip was Ali Graham’s HOUSD. Angie wears purple contact lenses. (Her eyes are naturally brown.) READ Angie'S BIO PAGE

Sunshine (“Sunny”) Lane Position: Staff (usher, concessionist, cashier) Birthdate: February 8, 1988 First Appearance: Multiplex #5 SHOW HISTORY HIDE HISTORY Sunny met and started dating Brian around the same time he began working at the Multiplex. Brian and Sunny were discovered to have had sex in the theater, which made the headline of the inaugural edition of Gretchen’s Multiplex Examiner. When she learned that he not only had been faking his entire personality, stealing from the theater, and cheating on her with Gretchen, Sunny flipped out and hit each of them. Gretchen declined to press charges, while Brian wasn't given the option to, in light of his own arrest proceedings. READ Sunny'S BIO PAGE
