Previous theatre experience includes performing in "Newsies" and helping with several children’s theatre camps, including "The Interrupting Chicken" and "Stone Soup." Sarah enjoys being involved both on and off the stage and loves working with others to bring productions to life. Outside of theatre, she enjoys exploring a variety of crafts and creative projects, rarely sticking to just one for long. Known for her willingness to jump in and help wherever needed, Sarah is grateful for the opportunities theatre provides to learn, create, and connect with others. She hopes you enjoy the show!

Steele is traveling with his ballroom group so he wasn't able to join the cast this year, but he helped learn and polish the choreography before he left. Thanks, Steele!
