For more than a decade, POP PSYCHOLOGY creator Tony Rogers has been hawking the wares of his local pop group, The Good. In addition to playing hundreds of shows from Los Angeles to New York and more than a few Peorias in between, The Good have released five critically acclaimed CD's, have been featured on several gee-whiz national TV shows (including MTV's "Road Rules,"), and have performed in a number of mister-fancy-pants musical festivals, including the South by Southwest Music Conference in Austin, Texas. Richard Milne from Chicago's WXRT hailed The Good's latest full-length release, "Breaking Up and Down," as "masterful… I mean absolutely" and those four words have been incorporated into every band bio since. Tony's songwriting credits also include music to accompany humorist Amy Krouse Rosenthal's book "Encyclopedia of an Ordinary Life"; music for the Hollywood stage play "Reality & Other Nightmares"; children's songs featured on the Grammy nomination finalist Children's Heart Foundation "Music for the Heart" compilation; original music for the film "Welcome to the Neighborhood"; and an embarassingly lucrative Budweister radio commercial song entitled, appropriately, "If I Didn't Have to Work." He is happily married and the father of three unfairly stunning children. Tony is by no stretch of the imagination a licensed therapist, but neither was Dolly Parton in that movie "Straight Talk." Michael Starcevich: The man who puts the "SH!" in "show" POP PSYCHOLOGY director Michael D. Starcevich, a graduate of Second City and Improv Olympic, and a mainstay at WNEP Theater, has been writing, directing, and performing improv theater and film for the past ten years. Michael's directing credits include "Beer Batter Haddock" and the critically acclaimed "55 Minutes of Malice." He appeared in the long-running "Postmortem," and starred in "Phobia," which earned frighteningly positive reviews. His claymation "Who Shot J.F.Klay?" made it to the final round of the Telluride Film Festival. Michael also brought Dolly Parton lunch every day on the set of that movie "Straight Talk."
