(In Alphabetical Order)

Natalie Nuss (Ensemble) is excited to be a part of this play. This is her first time participating in the OLMA/Prep theater program and can’t wait to see how it turns out.

Anthony Santora (Ensemble) is ecstatic for his debut performance with St. Augustine Prep/ OLMA’s theater program. While this is his first time performing in any play or show, he has seen his share of the spotlight. Outside of the show, he holds a vast amount of positions in different St. Augustine Prep extracurriculars including Vice President of the morning news program and head of a fundraiser for the Hermit Ambassadors, and he holds an immense amount of academic achievements. He would love to thank his parents, God, his castmates, Mrs. Zielinski, Mr. Stenswold, and Ms. Casey for helping make the play a once in a lifetime experience.

Michael Sherron (Sky) is so excited to be performing for his first St. Augustine Prep musical. Michael is a freshman and cannot wait to start his theater endeavors. While not on stage, you can find Michael performing in the school’s acapella group (The TestosterTones), as well as the co-ed choir (St. Cecilia), and Pep Band. Outside of the Prep, Michael has portrayed King Triton (TLM Jr.). Special thanks to the Artistic Team: Mr. Stenswold, Mrs. Zielinski, and Ms. Casey, as well as his friends and family. Last but not least, Michael would like to shout out his cast mates for all their hard work and dedication. They sure didn’t go wasting their emotion!

Delaney Shur (Rosie) is honored to be performing in her final Our Lady of Mercy Academy musical! Outside of OLMA, she has previously portrayed Jojo (Suessical), Jack (Into The Woods), Peggy (Godspell), and Miss Delilah Strict (Zombie Prom), among several other roles. She has also had the pleasure of co-founding the Saint Cecilia Co-Ed Chorus. Delaney plans to major in Entertainment Marketing to further assist in the creation process of more shows like this, with minors in Theatre and Film Studies. She would like to thank her family and friends for their unending support, as well as the cast for being the best theater family she could ask for! Thank you for the music!

John Terista (Sam) is so excited to be onstage for St. Augustine one last time in his high school career. John is a senior and has been participating in the school’s performing arts programs since the day he stepped foot on campus his freshman year. When John is not onstage, you can find him on the school’s varsity swim team, or performing with the school’s acapella group (The TestosterTones). His past credits for St. Augustine include Godspell (Jesus) in 2021 and The Addams Family (Lucas Beineke) in 2019. John was last seen onstage in Triple Threat Workshop’s Into The Woods (Steward) and OCTC’s SpongeBob (Plankton). He is so excited to help share this story and bring it to life. John is very thankful for everything the school has provided him throughout his four years and plans on Majoring in Finance Marketing in college. He would like to thank Mr. Stenswold, Mrs. Zielinski, Ms. Casey, his friends, family, and, especially, his cast mates for all the love and support!

Adriana Verrico (Lisa) is very enthusiastic to be performing as Lisa in the OLMA and Prep musical as a sophomore! Outside of OLMA, she has acted as Evie (Descendants), Josie (Elf Jr.), Fiona (Shrek Jr.), and several ensemble roles in community and school productions. When Adriana is not onstage, she can be found on OLMA’s cheer team as a Varsity flyer. Adriana would like to share a special thanks to Mr. Stenswold, Mrs. Zielinski, Ms. Casey, and her cast mates for their energy, hard work, enthusiasm, and dedication. She would also like to thank her family and friends for always supporting her and her passions!
