Ollie Dimas (FRED GRIMM)Hi! I'm Olivia but you can call me Ollie, I'm 15 and am a freshman. I live with my mom and I love her. She's the reason I am who I am today and why I even auditioned for Fred to begin with. Ever since I was young 5 to 6 my mom would let me watch the walking dead with her in the living room. Not only that but it seems so goofy.

Violet Coronado (QUEEN OF SUNFLOWER COVE)I am 15 years old, and I am a freshman, my few accomplishments are getting good grades and I am starring in my very first play. I want to shout out to my mom. I became interested in the play because it seemed fun and most of my friends were joining the play and I thought it would be fun. I chose to audition for the queen of Sunflower Cove because I thought she had a decent amount of lines for my first-ever play. My goal for this play is to not mess up and to make the crowd laugh.
Natalia Salcido Rodriguez (HYSTERICAL BUNNY PAGE)Hello! My name is Natalia Salcido and I am 18 years old. I am currently a senior in high school. I love animals and one of my great passions is horseback riding; I really enjoy the feeling of the air and the peace it gives me when doing so. My long-term goal is to become a great film actress. So in 2023, I had the opportunity to participate for the first time in the play “The Choice”, playing the character of Linda Ogletree. It was an exciting experience, although I won’t lie, I was also very nervous. This year I wanted to try again to practice, learn and continue developing as an actress. In addition, I would like to entertain the audience and make them laugh with my performances.
Yair Olivares (PRINCE HOPPYEARS)I am 17 years old, and I am also a senior. I decided to audition for Prince Hoppyears and I went with him because he had good amount of lines. The reason I auditioned for the play is because I wanted to get out of my comfort zone. My goal is to not mess up my lines.
Catherine Alday (PRINCESS PURRFECT PAWS)Hi!
I'm 15 years old and a freshman in Los Banos high school. I'm a straight A student with a GPA of 4.0. I previously had 2 years of drama experience at Creekside junior high and I'm interested to do this play because of the interesting plot and differing scenes of dreams! My goal for this play is that we are able to have as many audiences as we can to watch our performances!
Wolfgang Steen (DR. GLOOMY GUS)Hello, I am Wolfgang, I am fifteen, bored, and have far too much free time. I became interested in the play after my (wonderful) teacher Ms. Zorra (forcibly) made me join the play. I do this for the love of the game, I am not scared of stage fright, in fact, stage fright is scared of me. I chose to play Dr. Gloomy Gus because he is the best character in the play, and I love him.
Paige Deeming (DR. GLADYS MAGUIRE)My name is Paige Deeming and I am 16 years old. I’ve been in theater since I was little. I am the current social media manager for both choir and drama club. I became the stage manager for this play because I have soccer and choir around this time, which led to me being unable to be an actor for this play. Even then this cast seems to be fun and I think we'll have a great play!
Luciana Gonzalez (BRICK)My name is Luciana Gonzalez. I’m 15 and a freshman. My goal for this play is to make the audience laugh and have a good time (and of course loves the show)! I auditioned for the character Brick because I thought he was funny and it would be a good time playing him. I’ve been in 2 plays, and 3 musicals before this, and I wanna give a little shoutout to my family and my friends who came to see this play.
Keira Hensley (JANE)I’m Keira Hensley, 17 years old, 12th grader, and I’m playing Jane. I auditioned after Zorra (forcibly) made me join. I have no acting experience and auditioned for Jane at the (demand) of a friend (Rosabella).
Christina Grier (ZACK)My name is Christina or Julieanna Grier. I’m also known as Jules or Carl (Milo calls me that). I am a junior. I live in a house of 7. That includes me, my 2 brothers, my parents, and my 2 pets. Some of my accomplishments that I’ve made or are close to making is becoming a voice actor, doing commissions, and becoming an animator. This is my first time doing drama but I’m looking forward to it and probably will participate in it again! I became interested in the play because of my friends suggesting I do something with my life and I thought it’d be fun. I auditioned for the zombie because it’s my first time and I stutter a lot so I thought It’d be the best role for me. Personality wise, I am very hyper, talkative, shy when I don’t know people, loud, and somewhat awkward. I am very artistic and creative in my own ways. Things I like are Resident Evil, Markiplier, Kubzscouts, my baby Vinny (my cat), Fortnite, Sea bunny’s, Cookie run kingdom, Alice in borderland, Pumpkin Night, anything horror related, anything music genre (not including country), figurine collecting and anything soft (like plushies).
Mea Reyes (ZELDA)I am 16 years old. I moved here from Michigan during the summer. I have a pet dog. Ms. Zorra made me audition.
Emiliano Rodriguez (ZEBEDIAH)My name Is Emiliano Rodriguez, I'm 17 years old and in the 11th grade. I'm Into History and WWE. My favorite color Blue, my favorite food Pepperoncini Pizza, The first time I was interested In drama was In 2023. But didn't audition because I was not ready for it yet, until august of 2024 I audition for the first time. The play was called "Happy Birthday Dear Grandpa" I was Police Officer #2. And I'm happy I did a play and that's a little bit about me.
Leonidas Melgar (ZOMBIE)I’m 16 and I’m in 11th grade. New to the drama experience other than playing rpg games and yelling at my team for asking for heals when they are miles away from me and being dumb. Was not originally interested in the play at all until in the middle of a dnd session, I was DMing both my choir teacher and my old English teacher tag teamed me and made me join. Free will was out the window. IN FACT it was quite literally like an hour before auditions so I was pulled in at the last second. When they asked me what character I wanted to audition for, I didn't even know what I was going for!! Not even knowing what the story was about! And now I’m Dr. Gladys and when looking at it I was like, “oh cool it’s a serious doctor that heals zombies” then I look through the script and see my character and Dr gloomy are sweethearts AKA my friend! I hate this but that doesn’t mean I won’t try my best since I never lose. Also because I'm highly competitive.
Cris St. Onge (ZOMBIE)Hello! My name is Samantha. But my preferred name is Cris but you could call me either one. I'm 16, soon to be 17 on April 2, I'm a junior, and I'm with my mom and my two sisters. This is my first time ever being on stage because I'm very nervous on stage and I tend to stutter. So my role is a non-verbal role, I'm one of the zombies. I wanted to do this play because I wanted to experience drama for the very first time and I hope this will be a good experience. I hope i will do good for this place and if I ever get nervous or anxious, at least I tried. Thank you :)
