Janae Hoggins was bitten by the acting bug at age five and hasn't ever recovered. Especially in the past year, she's had 'ALL THE FUN' doing as much film and theater as she could possibly manage.  Her most recent roles were in Midsummer Night's Dream and Honeymoon at Graveside Manor. She's incredibly grateful to all of the wonderful friends she's made along the way. She is so lucky to have the most amazing and supportive people all around her in her life, she couldn't have done it without them. She is especially thankful for her family who have loved her even when she was CRAZY!!! You're all the bestest!!!

Alexa Nguyen--Alexa's love for theater started in the 3rd grade when she got to see her big sister perform in  Beauty and the Beast. Her favorite full circle moment came 9 years later when Alexa got to perform in the exact same theater as the Wicked Witch of the West in The Wizard of Oz. She has studied and worked as an on-screen actor for 8 years and she's currently in film school studying screenwriting and directing to make an impact on media representation for marginalized groups. She's beyond excited to return to the stage as Helena!
