Previous show credits include: Marta in And a Child Shall Lead, Lady Larken in Once Upon a Mattress, Martha in The Miracle Worker, Violet in You're a Good Man Charlie Brown, Glinda in Wicked, and Scar in The Lion King. Daniella would like to thank the EXTREMELY talented cast and crew for putting together such a hilarious show. Break a leg everyone!!!!

Gal ya Cohen (Tech) is very excited to be part of her first SAR HS production! Galya enjoys playing softball, acting, and singing in her free time. She would like to thank Elisheva and Ms. Heller for all they did for the show and hope all the actors break a leg! Enjoy!

Roni Cohen (Ernie Cusack) is so excited to be performing in his first high school play! This past summer he starred in Camp Yavneh?s groundbreaking original production, ?Moana?s Bat Mitzvah? as Moana?s grandfather, Cruella Deville, and an eel. He also played the entirety of Melus in a recent historical production. He hopes you enjoy the show!

Nava Feder (Officer Pudney) is so happy to be back in another show with the SAR Drama Society! Previous show credits include: Laurie in Oklahoma! and The Minstrel in Once Upon a Mattress at SAR. Nava has always loved musical theater, and is so happy to be a part of this production. She wants to thank her family for being so supportive and her fellow cast members for making this experience so much fun. Nava hopes Rumors makes you laugh!

She would like to thank the cast and crew for their hard work. Enjoy the show!

Who's Who Micki Kl einman is a senior and is so happy to be a part of her first straight play! Previous musicals include: Wicked Jr. pilot production, A Chorus Line, Thoroughly Modern Millie, Once Upon a Mattress and You?re a Good Man Charlie Brown. Thank you to the cast, crew, and directors for investing so much time, energy and love into the production. Enjoy the show :) Ben Koren (Stage Manager) is really excited to be a stage manager again this year after being one last year (this time actually being useful!), and is looking forward to (hopefully) hearing all the laughter from the audience while sitting backstage praying the com doesn?t die mid-show. Thank you to the cast and crew for giving it your all on this show, and we hope you enjoy!

Nina Kornf el d (Tech) is a sophomore at SAR High School and is very excited to be part of the school play this year. She is excited to help make the play happen. Nina hopes you have fun watching the play and wants to thank everyone else who worked hard for the show to happen.

Yael Michael i (Design) is a freshman. She had a great time working on the design team for Rumors. Enjoy the show!

Anna Nuchims (Cassie Cooper) is so excited to be a part of SAR?s production of Rumors! Anna believes that this play takes type-casting to a whole new level. Enjoy the show! Don?t cheat on your wives.

Who's Who El l a Osen (Chris) has somehow made it to junior year and is very excited to be taking part in the SAR Drama Society?s production of Rumors by Neil Simon. This will be Ella?s fifth show with SAR, and she is surprised she stuck around this long. Outside of the Drama Society, Ella has continued to appear in iconic cinema roles. Most recently Ella appeared as Captain America in End Game for about 0.05 seconds. Make sure to pause the movie at 1:36:04 to see her. This and Rumors are just two of her many acting achievements that will be listed at a later time. She hopes you enjoy the show.

Shef a St ein-Tal esnick (Set) enjoyed working on the set for Rumors! and had a great time painting. Please enjoy the show!

Hannah Wint er (Claire) is so excited to be a part of Rumors! After her last role, the young and brooding Erika Koesek (a girl living in the Terezin ghetto-camp), Hannah is thrilled to be a part of the vivacious world of Rumors! She?d like to thank the cast for making her laugh (even when she?s trying to concentrate), Ms. Breitman for her genius sets and costumes, Ms. Heller and Ezra Hermann for bringing this work to life, Elisheva Hermann (for being the best Cassie understudy), and Ben Koren (who has a ton of homework to do, but is here anyway). Hannah hopes you enjoy the show.
