Born and raised in Orange County, Linzey has been highly involved with musical theatre and singing since the age of 7. It all started when her parents took her to see her first musical; a production of “Cats” at the Schubert Theatre in Los Angeles for her 5th birthday. She reenacted the entire show, all roles, and all songs at home from that day on. Her stage debut was The Gospel According to Scrooge at Capo Beach Calvary for three Christmas seasons. Linzey attended high school at Capistrano Valley Christian School where she performed in concert choir for four years and other small ensembles. She also participated in ACSI Musicale for four years at Lakeview Avenue Church in Pasadena with a combined choir of over 1,000 students. High school credits include Brigadoon, Fiddler On The Roof, and Working. She had also done makeup for and assisted with Catch 22, Guys and Dolls, Bye Bye Birdie, The Sound of Music, Rags, Cinderella, and Godspell. She was a member of the Saddleback Master Chorale under the direction of Al Brightbill for 3 years and is very proud to say she performed the Verdi Requiem at Mission Basillica Church in San Juan Capistrano by heart. She was introduced to the Showboaters by a member of the choir who was musically directing Annie at the time. Since then Linzey has performed in Annie, Guys and Dolls, Brigadoon, Dinner, Discussion, ...and Death!, and most recently The Music Man as “Ethel Toffelmier” with the Showboaters. Christmas of '03 she was in The Nazarene with Seaside Community Church and spring of '03 she performed in Godspell at the Camino Real Playhouse. She is a member of the caroling group, "The Mistletunes" with Jason in the Christmas season. On a side note, Linzey is an artist, enjoys making jewelry, web design (including this site), and is in a state of complete bliss when eating sushi.
Jason was born in 1982 in La Mirada California. He started playing piano at the age of 5 and began singing at the age of 6. When he was 8 years old he heard his first musical, "The Phantom of the Opera" and he knew that was what he wanted to do the rest of his life. When he was 9 years old he joined "The All American Boys Chorus" where he enjoyed touring around the United States and Canada. He spent 6 years as one of the lead soloists singing such songs as "Lida Rose" (The Music Man), "Pie Jesu" (Requiem), "Laudate Dominum" (Mozart), "Bring Him Home" (Les Miserables), "O Holy Night", and many others. He attended the Southern Orange County School of the Arts where he starred as "Tony" in West Side Story and "Daddy Warbucks" in Annie. He then went to Fullerton College where he performed in such groups as Jazz ensemble and Bravo, a singing and dancing group. He was also seen in roles as A Beejee (Fame), Diesel (West Side Story) and Bazzard (The Mystery of Edwind Drood) which he was nominated for an ACTF (American College Theatre Foundation). After college he performed as Tony once again in West Side Story at the Huntington Beach Playhouse. It was called "the number one show in Southern California" by the Register. After that he took a year off and during his hiatus he began playing at Scarantino's, an Italian restaurant. In June of 2004, he played the role of Jesus in Godspell. He has trained with Richard Dastrup, John Huntington, Al Brightbill, and Juanita Brightbill. Jason has written his own musical, "Jade: The Rise and Fall", and is currently writing his next show, "Sweet Love".

Diane Marshall was born and raised in Buena Park, CA and has always considered music an integral part of her life. She began performing at a very young age and has studied flute, piano, and voice. She is very excited to be a part of 7/D/W, not only for the super- cool arrangements, but also because she has a ton of fun with her very talented group members! Favorite roles for Diane include Lucy in “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown”, Katherine in “Pippin”, Mary in “Jesus Christ Superstar”, and Mrs. Walker in the rock-opera “Tommy”. She attended University of California Irvine where she received her Bachelor’s degree in Drama in 1992. Diane currently lives in Laguna Niguel with her husband, Phil, and her two children, Morgan and Maren.
Tom has been singing in school choirs since the 5th grade (the earliest grade he could join), but singing has been a passion since his earlier years where he would belt his parent's Roaring 20's music or recite the entire "Up With People" tape. When he saw Howard Keel sing for the first time he knew it was Kismet. Years of choirs followed, as well as sporadic voice lessons and eventually community theater until he took a 7 year hiatus from performing to start a family. Last summer saw him ease his way back into singing with a performance or two at his church and a small role in Gallimaufry's premier production of "42nd Street" in Laguna Beach. Then an audition call for a bass on the networking site "Myspace.com" led him here to this fantastic group of performers for a new project. His goal; to make the world take basses seriously again (no, not the fish; the singer). He dedicates all of his performances to his best Production: Two daughters and a son who remind him that magic is real, and an incredible wife who reminds him that only a fool is content with an olive when he could have the tree.
