Back in the late 1970's, the influence of Planet of the Apes, Rick Baker's King Kong, and Star Wars inspired many of the members of this group to start experimenting with acting, make-up, props, and costumes. The discovery of science fiction conventions in the LA and San Francisco areas lead us to assemble the Merry Monkeytime Players several times per year for weekends of fun and debauchery. Reuniting for John Chambers' 75th birthday party in '97 brought back all the fun, childhood memories, and inspiration that led us all in creative career directions. The Players of APEMANIA come from all walks of life. Some of us are actors, some are artists, all of us love Planet of the Apes. Here's a look at who we are with and without make-up. Click on the characters for each performer's own unique story

a Step by Step guide to creating your own Life Mask! Welcome! I've created this site because I've discovered that so many people, like me, are absolutely fascinated with masks. This site is a kind of "e-guide" that will lead your easily and successfully through both the technical steps (it's easy-really I promise!) as well as some of the more profound therapeutic applications and soulful self-discovery that can be realized by making your own (or another's) Life-Mask. For starters you might want to take a look at About Masks and a few Examples of Self-Masks? or, if you're ready to dive in and get started, you can just jump right in to Making a Face Mask and let your Self-Mask begin!

I am a sculptor. My passion is sculpture. I love this earthy, hands on, get it all over you, touchy, feely art form of sculpture. There's excitement with every pour and firing. The delight when wonderful things happen more than compensates for the disappointments of losses and the failures. Where do I get my sculpture ideas? Sometimes I know just what I want to make. Often times I just start, using any tool I can get my hands on and if the material suggests an idea, I go for it. I believe this is why I feel such excitement and adventure in what I am doing.
