Bios

Anthony Buckley (Sound Designer) is ecstatic to be in his 8th show at Gonzaga. Now in his role of sound gremlin, Anthony promises to deliver the best audio this side of Alexandria, and anything that goes wrong is not his fault.

Caroline Buckley (Punk Girl/Policewoman) would like to say that she did not just get cast because her dad is the producer. She is her own person. It’s been super fun doing this with everyone and she can’t wait for the musical in the spring. She would like to thank everyone here and her family.

Henry Calpin (Props Manager) is back for his second show, both as Props Manager. He is excited to be back for the show and with the GDA.

Luke Cousins (Man with Socks/Drunk Two/Ed U/S) is making his debut performance. Luke is a sophomore that played rugby, ran track, and he is currently a member of student government. Luke thanks his mom, family, and Timothée Chalamet – for inspiring him to act.

Chris Cullen (Mr. Thompson/London Policeman) is very excited to be in this show. He is happy to not be a drunk…oh. Well, either way he wants to thank his parents and his friends and his amazing directors!

Parker Deerin (Station Policeman/Uncle Terry) is hyped to be in their third GDA production! Their previous roles include crewing for Almost, Maine and Charlie of AP Ghosthunting and Parapsychology as part of the Festival of One Act Plays. They’d like to thank their friends and teachers.

Gabriel Dorsey (Roger (Mr. Shears)/Mr. Wise) has been in GDA productions since The Laramie Project. He cannot wait for the cast and crew’s work these past few months to be put on display. Gabriel would like to thank the cast, crew, Ms. Griffith, Mr. Buckley, Mr. Bevilacqua, Ms. Menconi, and Mr. Curtin.

Megan Duncan (Judy), a freshman at Georgetown Visitation, is thrilled to be performing in her first show with the GDA! She enjoys playing piano, lacrosse, traveling and all things related to architecture and design. She would like to thank her family and friends, with special shoutouts to Caroline, for encouraging her to audition, and Brigid, for driving her from Visi to Gonzaga! She is grateful to the entire cast and crew for this memorable experience.

Quinn Gibson (Stage Manager) is honored to be working on their first GDA production as stage manager!

Phoebe Hall (Mrs. Gascoyne/Lady in Street) is very excited to be part of her second show with the GDA!

Luke Heetderks (Rev. Peters/Information) is excited to be back with the GDA after two years. He’s happy to play a named role after playing a barfly in his last two productions. He is very busy with college auditions, so talk to him in December.

Mike Hernandez (Man Behind Counter) is ecstatic to be in his first theater production. He had always wanted to participate in theater since he was in middle school; this play will be a big deal for him! He would like to thank his dad and his brothers for motivating him!

Daniel Huisentruit (Student Technical Director) made a couple of boxes and sat in the wings. A truly grueling few months it has been.

Patrick Jacobs (Lighting Designer) is excited to be working on his seventh show with the GDA. He is excited to be running lights this year and wants to thank his family for their constant support over the years.

Patrick Kopplin (Sound Engineer) is the assistant sound manager and is ready to give you the best show he can, with his experience of three shows, including the Bicentennial.

Brigid Limarzi (Mrs. Shears/Woman on Train/Judy U/S), a senior at Georgetown Visitation, is thrilled to be joining the GDA for her first production! She’d like to thank her family for being supportive, her friends for being enthusiastic, and her cousin for convincing her to spontaneously drive to Gonzaga and audition.

Lorenzo Limarzi (Ed) thinks this has been a good production process. He is very grateful to all of the adults who made it possible, teachers, moderators and parents alike. He would also like to thank the actors, especially the freshmen. He is so happy that they’re part of GDA history now.

Caleb Linn (Number 40/Shopkeeper/Christopher U/S) thanks everyone for another scintillating GDA production! As the sole junior in the cast, he has done his utmost to be the best junior. He hopes that the show is just as scintillating as the friends has made along the way!

Aidan McGee (Scene Shop Foreman) is the coolest. He can’t wait to be the shop foreman and instruct Brendan Seay! Lots of people ask him what brought him to the stage crew, and it would definitely have to be getting to build stuff.

Hugh McMahon (Paint Chief) is back on tech crew for his fourth GDA show. He’s enjoyed working as paint chief, and hopes you enjoy the show!

This is Kyle Merkle’s (Run Crew) first show with the GDA, but he hopes for many more to come. He would like to especially thank the people in stage crew for making it a very enjoyable experience for him.

Megan, Congratulations on your first show with the GDA. We are so proud of you!

Break a Leg, Judy!

Love,

Mom, Dad, Addie, and Finn����

Joseph Portolese (Run Crew) is excited to be in his first production at Gonzaga, and is looking forward to the next three years of shows.

Myron Rogers (Run Crew) is exhilarated to be a part of Tech Crew in his first GDA show. It has been a wonderful experience and he hopes you enjoy the show!

Starting his fourth year in the GDA, Mathieu Saliba (Christopher) is thrilled to be playing Christopher Boone in The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. A huge thank you to Ms. Griffith for adjusting the schedule for both weeks he was out sick, and to his two carpools, Matthew Shumaker and Caleb Linn.

Kate Schaefer (Siobhan), a sophomore at Stone Ridge, is so excited to perform in her first ever GDA show! She’d like to thank the cast, crew, Ms. Griffith, and her family for all their support.

Ella Schmigdall (Mrs. Alexander/Posh Woman/Siobhan US) is a sophomore in her second GDA show. She had a tremendous amount of fun performing in Into the Woods as a freshman and is so excited to perform in this play! She loves to play the piano and spend lots of time with friends.

Brendan Seay (Head Electrician) is the third Seay here. He is at the beck and call of the master shop foreman, Aidan McGee. He thinks that Stage Crew is the best but isn’t really mentally present during it. He thinks it’s fun but that’s just what he’s told.

Matthew Shumaker (Policeman/Drunk One) is excited to be the only character in the play that’s allowed to swear (don’t fact check that). He also wants you to listen to The SHUCAST. Hasta la vista, baby. C’est la vie. That’s how the cookie crumbles. Catch you later.

Johan Torres (Station Guard/ATM) is making his GDA debut. He is a fourteenyear-old freshman from Virginia. Johan came to Gonzaga from Nativity Catholic school where he appeared in various plays such as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (Grandpa Joe) and Julius Caesar (Titinius). He is grateful to his parents, sister and family for their love and support.

This is August van Geertruyden’s (Lights Crew) third show and first on Tech Crew. Enjoy the boxes.

Johnathan Watson, (Run Crew) a sophomore, enjoyed helping out around the stage for the first time, this fall, and he hopes everyone enjoys the show. Thanks for coming!

Nick Winters (Run Crew) would like to thank his entire family and especially his older brother, Drew.

Milton Yates (Duty Sergeant) “It’s nice to be important. But it’s more important to be nice.”
