Andy Auker (Prime Minister) - is a sophomore psychology major who hopes to minor in criminology after this year. Outside of theatre, Andy enjoys listening to music, hanging out with friends, and playing with his cats. Andy is also a diehard fan of both the Los Angeles Rams and the Los Angeles Clippers. He was previously seen onstage as Pinocchio in “Shrek: the Musical.” He also claims to have beaten Steph Curry 1on-1; however, he asserts that “the cameras weren’t rolling, so you’ll have to take my word on it”.
Rebecca Book (Alexandra) - is a sophomore communication studies major. Her past credits on the MAC stage include: soldier, Dulocian, and Peter Piper in “Shrek: the Musical.” She is very thankful for the opportunity to be back on stage acting again and hopes you enjoy the show! Lucy Craig (Catherine) - is a senior at the Mount. Aside from theatre, she is also a member of Campus Ministry’s Praise and Worship team. She was a member of the cast of “Funny Money” though we were unfortunately unable to produce it; however, she was grateful for the opportunity! She is very excited to be performing in this play, one that she had read last semester and immediately fell in love with! Aleah Grove (Violet) - is a sophomore psychology major with a concentration in counseling. Aside from theatre, she is also a member of Vox Nova and Campus Ministry, and singing/acting has always been a huge part of her life. Her past credits on the MAC stage include “Shrek: the Musical,” where she performed as the Fairy Godmother, one of the Three Blind Mice, and puppeteered as a Bluebird. She would like to thank her friends, family, and Nathan for their continued support in her college drama career! Thomas McElhinny (Narrator) - is a first-year history major. He is a Mercy Presidential Scholar and works at the Library part-time. While this is the first show he is performing for the Mount, Thomas is no stranger to the stage. He has portrayed characters like Billy Bones in “Treasure Island,” Mordred in “Arthur and Merlin,” Eugene in “Grease,” Cat in the Hat in “Seussical,” and many others. Thomas feels immensely privileged to be narrating these plays and would like to thank everyone for watching and tuning in for the show.
