A recent transplant to Los Angeles via New York and Chicago, Peppur has seen success as an
actor, writer, dancer and singer. During her five years in New York, Peppur appeared on
stage, film and television. As a writer, she’s especially proud of the staged-readings of her
piece I SEE and one-act play, Flapjacks & Orange Juice; and of Drea’s Denial a short film
which she wrote, acted in and co-produced. Peppur’s non-fiction essay, Three-Way appears in
Ava Chin’s SPLIT: Stories from a Generation Raised on Divorce. Two songs, which Peppur
penned and performed, were included on the score of Cold Feet an independent film that
screened at New York’s Urbanworld Film Festival, among others. While in Chicago, Ms.
Chambers performed for thousands as a World Champion Chicago Bulls dancer and sites this
experience as a turning point in making a bee-line ascent toward her dreams. This Kenosha,
Wisconsin native continues to reach for the stars and will, as she often says, “See you at the
top!

Born and raised in northern Indiana, Crescent took an extended route to pursuing an acting
career. She caught the acting bug while pursuing her B.A. in Afro-American Studies and
Government at Harvard University; however, it was not until she finished law school at the
University of Pennsylvania and a short stint in a corporate law firm in New York that she
moved to Los Angeles to pursue acting full time. The idea of playing a lawyer on TV seemed
far more appealing than the real thing. She has provided memorable performances in The
Colored Museum, The Trial of One Short Sighted Black Woman vs Mammy Louise and
Safreeta Mae, and the musical, L’il Abner. She has starred in numerous independent films
and had a scene stealing cameo in the critically acclaimed feature film Heights. Her motto:
“Life is short, follow your passion and have no regrets.”
