BETH ALLEMAN (Townsperson) is a blast on the stage! Beauty and the Beast marks her sixteenth show. Her past roles include Jasmine in Aladdin, the Gingerbread Man in Shrek, and Ado Annie in Oklahoma.
CHELSEA ALLEY (Choreographer) believes in dance and the performing arts, particularly in the way they integrate the whole human (body, mind, and soul) and their ability cultivate empathy, expression, and unity in the human experience. Ms. Alley earned a K-12 Dance Education degree from BYU, and has devoted herself to nurturing the Dance Department here at Orem High for the past 7 years. She is profoundly honored to be a part of this amazing community. Thank you all for your support, and remember: Dance is True!
KRISTEN ALLEY (Music Director, Hair & Makeup Design) has immensely enjoyed getting to work with the awesome OHS students. As a graduate of UVU in Commercial Music, most of her spare time is spent on stage or in theaters. She was last seen at CenterPoint Legacy Theatre in Jekyll & Hyde, and 42nd Street. She has studied and performed on various stages in Utah, New York, and Italy. Kristen truly believes there is nothing better than live performance and is excited for you to see the show!
JONATHAN ASHTON (Pit Orchestra, Violin Soloist) is the Sterling Scholar at Orem High school in Instrumental Music and has played the violin for 14 years.

She’s performed in 4 shows at OHS and her favorite role she’s played is Twoey in Little Shop of Horrors her Junior year. She has grown so much with each show and the experiences that have come with them and is excited to continue acting as much as she can outside of high school. She has some silly obsessions like the children’s TV show Bluey, Harry Potter, Doctor Who, and she loves art, music, the outdoors, and has constant baby fever. She’ll miss Orem High so much and is looking forward to returning to watch her younger friends and peers perform over the next few years!
JUNE BLACK (Pit Orchestra) "I’m that one tuba player"

MILES FLORY (Townsperson) is experiencing musical theater for the first time with this exuberant production! Last year he was a stage technician for Lakeridge’s Mr. Oquendo and found joy in supporting this art.

Her favorite roles in Orem High productions include Ronnette [Little Shop Of Horrors] and Morticia [The Addams Family]. Alyssa lives, laughs, and loves theater - especially the opportunity it gives her to immerse herself in the art and share it with the world. Aside from theater, Alyssa enjoys doing nails, blasting music on car rides, and eating cheesecake with strawberries. She sends a huge thank you to fellow cast mates, directors, and family. She has loved bringing Mrs. Potts to life in this magical show. Enjoy!
ABI GOODEY (Babette) has done four musicals at Orem High including this one, and she is so thrilled to be spending her last musical here playing one of her dream roles! Abi has grown so much as a person and a performer through this program, while managing to maintain a 4.0 and get a full ride scholarship to U of U. She’d like to thank everyone who has put any amount of work into this production for making her last high school musical experience the best it could possibly have been!
AUBREY HAACKE (Set Construction & Spot Operator) would like to say thank you to everyone who helped her learn new skills. Thank you so much for Mason being a good teacher and Ryan being entertaining. Love, Aubrey ❤️
COLE HERRICK (Beast) loves participating in Orem High School drama because it creates a space where all of us have to learn to be vulnerable together, and when that happens we can tell a great story. But it’s kind of scary.
STELLA HERRICK (Silly Girl)
IRIS HOLLINGSHAUS (Assistant Technical Director & Stagehand) would just like to say (in a Scottish accent) "I freaking love mallard ducks!"
JAE JAROSCH (Chip Yellow Cast) has been into theater since he was in the 3rd grade at Aspen Elementary. During his time at Canyon View Junior High, Jae performed in six different musicals. Outside of school theater programs, Jae has been involved with SCERA where he participated twice in “Lights, Camera, Acting!

ESTHER SOONWONKIM JUDD (Pit Conductor) has been teaching Orchestra for 8 years, the last 5 at Orem High School, and the last 3 at Mountain View High School as well. She firmly believes that music brings people together—and often tells that to her students from rival schools. She fell in love with pit orchestra as a highschooler back in the Dark Ages in New Jersey, where she played violin for The Music Man, Fiddler on the Roof, Oklahoma!, and The Pajama Game. At BYU, she played violin in the pit for orchestra for La Boheme and viola for The Barber of Seville. Last year she had the incredible privilege of conducting the pit orchestra for Mountain View High School‘s production of Beauty and the Beast and is excited to be back in the “quiet village'' where every day in the pit is like the one before…but better! Esther firmly believes that teaching Orchestra is the best job in the world, because she gets to work with the best kids in the school. If you hear someone ugly crying under the music floating up from the pit, that’s Esther bursting with pride for the work, improvement, dedication, and investment her musicians have demonstrated throughout this “adventure in the great wide somewhere” supporting OHS’s stellar theater program!
LILY KELSON (Belle Yellow Cast) Beauty and the Beast is the 25th show Lily has been in and the 1st time she has played a dream role! She could not be more grateful! She hopes you love this show as much as she does and that you get WEAK IN THE KNEES WHEN YOU HEAR OUR ORCHESTRA! In previous productions, she has played everything from a yellow brick to an orphan to a mermaid. Some of her favorite shows she’s done are Addams Family, Les Miserable, The Little Mermaid Jr. and Crazy for You playing Morticia, Ensemble, Ariel and a folly girl respectively. Taking her final bow at Orem High will be tough, but she could not have imagined a better experience.
HAYLEIGH KNIGHT (Dance Corps) is a cool cat who enjoys roller skating, long walks in the park and lots of other physical activities that you do outside. Hayleigh loves spending time with family and friends and is so excited to do this play

Abigail recently developed a deep love for the technical side of theater, and plans to remain in the community for the rest of her life. “I want to thank my amazing mother for being patient with me through this process. I also want to thank my wonderful teachers for giving me the knowledge to take on this job, and my friends and castmates who have become a second family. I love you all more than you will ever know! Enjoy this tale as old as time!”
JASON OWENS (Gaston Blue Cast) is a senior this year and this is his third show at Orem High. He hadn’t joined the drama department until last year and now never wants to leave. He loves singing, acting, and most of all the people he's met along the way.

CHRISTIAN PRUGUE (Cogsworth Blue Cast) is a senior and this is his first show at Orem High! Signing up to audition at the last minute led to an experience that introduced him to new friends and taught me valuable life skills! "This show was an incredible opportunity and I’m glad I got to take part of a such an amazing Orem High production before I graduate."
HAYDEN RESENDIZ (Dance Corps) is a senior at Orem High School this year. He started musicals in 4th grade and has been doing it ever since.

Outside of musicals, He loves Harry Potter, Bluey, walking, racquetball, and eating too much bread. He is also low-key a nerd (but in the best way). Hayden is so grateful for meeting so many great people and performing amazing productions at Orem High!
SCOTT SACKETT (Director) tends to think that every show will be a complete disaster, and then is completely amazed at what these incredible students are able to produce through the hours of hard work that they put into these productions. He has been working at Orem High School for the past eight years; and his while his love for OHS runs deep, his love for the Orem High drama program might run even deeper. Scott grew up here in Orem where he was influenced fundamentally by Syd Riggs, Pam Peterson, and Jerry Ellison, The legacy of Orem High's drama program is not something he takes lightly and he is so proud of his students here who continue to show-up, put in the work, and create beauty like you will see today. He is a graduate of Orem High ('04), Brigham Young University ('12), and Southern Oregon University (‘22). He has thoroughly loved his work with the Orem High Drama Program and feels blessed every single day.
