Craig Taggart made his Los Angeles stage debut in Del Shores' Southern Baptist Sissies in 2002, yet that was not his first 'divine' inspiration. Ever since he was a young (boogie woogie bugle) boy, Bette Midler's career has had a profound effect on him. A longtime fan of the variety format of entertainment, Rise 'n Shine is the perfect culmination of Taggart's talents. Known to local audiences for his roles in "Pageant, Cruisin', The Women of Woody, Sordid Lives: The Series, and The Homecoming Queen's Got a Musical," Taggart has been making people laugh and entertaining them through song. He has most-recently been collaborating with his colleague, co-host, and best friend, Chris Pudlo, on bringing "Rise 'n Shine with Bette & Juliette" to the stage as a follow-up to their highly successful previous partnership in "Hollywood-uh, Could-uh, Should-uh!" Immensely grateful for the love and support bestowed on him by this incredibly talented ensemble, his family, and his community at The Richard Lawson Studios, Craig is also immeasurably indebted to the wind beneath his wings, who some 30+ years ago quite prophetically said: "I am the divine Miss M: Everything you fear your little girls...and your little boys... might grow up to be."

Chris Pudlo hails from the 'burbs of Detroit, Michigan. He moved to Los Angeles as a young pup in 2001 to pursue his eccentric acting career. He started off playing "Frankenfurter" in The Rocky Horror Picture Show at The Nuart Theater's midnight screenings. In 2006 he appeared in Southern Baptist Sissies understudying "Andrew" as well as playing a Tina Turner back-up dancer. He also played "Noleta" in Sordid Lives: It's a Drag. Both of these shows then went on a national tour in the summer/fall of 2006. Chris made his television debut in Sordid Lives: The Series (2007) as a schizophrenic mental patient. After a successful "Knots Landing" Tribute video on Youtube, Chris (and his best friend, Craig Taggart) wrote their own show, "Hollywood-Uh, Could-Uh, Should-Uh!" which has successfully been running since 2010. Chris has been in a variety of films and stage productions since 2012. Stage credits include: "The Homecoming Queen's Got a Musical, The Chuck Rivers Show, Streep Tease, WOW: The Women of Woody Allen, Cruisin' and Here's to Love. Film credits include: "The Trouble with Barry, The Far Flung Star, Occupying Ed and Hell Town. Chris also has a cameo in the documentary "Best Worst Movie." Chris has studied at The Upright Citizens Brigade, The Groundlings School of Improv, and is currently enrolled at Anthony Meindl's Acting Studio. Chris is beyond ecstatic to be a creator, producer and performer in Rise 'n Shine with Bette & Juliette alongside his uber-talented partner in crime, Craig Taggart. Chris finally gets to step into the heels of his crazy muse: Juliette Lewis. Chris would like to thank his family and friends for their endless support.
