Meet Our Officers

Hi! I'm Ella Adams, your Troupe President for the 24-25 year! Since coming to DSA my freshman year, I've been a part of 11 productions, working both as an actor and technician. While I have multiple aspects of experience in shows that I love (lighting, marketing, acting), my biggest passion is Stage Management. I fell in love with the community and passion within the Troupe, and I'm excited to help foster that connection to further strengthen ourselves as a company and as individuals. I believe that everyone brings something unique and important to the troupe, and my biggest goal as an officer this year is to make every single one of you feel known and valued. I'm super excited to work with our amazing officer board and make this the best year of DSA Theatre yet!

Hi! I'm Darwin Hilliard, I'm a senior and your Vice President fot the 24-25 school year! As Vice President I keep track of all the thespian points for all of our members, and act the right hand to out wonderful president, Ella. I've been in theatre at DSA since my freshman year. Over the past three years I've had the pleasure of acting in six productions, being on the sound crew for three, sound designer for one, and directed a one act play. Theatre is my passion and something that I fell in love with at a young age and hope to pursue for the rest of my life. I can't wait to see what this year has in store for us, and I'm so excited to be your Vice President this year!

Hello! My name is Shannon Anderson I am a senior and I am your Troupe Secretary for the 24-25 school year! I keep track of handbooks and other communications. I have been a Scenic Head twice and acted in five shows! I was also a stage manager for a one act. I love theatre because the community that it brings always warms my heart. During my freshman year I took so much inspiration from the juniors and senior actors, so I wanted to work really hard and keep the community strong. Some of my goals for this year are to make everyone feel welcome, I know when I first joined this theatre I felt a little overwhelmed so I want to make sure that everyone feels comfortable. There's always a place for you! I’m so excited to work with everyone this year!

Hello! I am the Triple T, Trevor the Treasurer. I am a senior in the Technical Theater pathway. As the 2024-2025 Treasurer, I aim to introduce new forms of revenue, such as special troupe mugs and fundraisers. I have nearly four years of experience in theater production, beginning in 9th grade, where I participated in all three main shows each year. In 10th grade, I took on the role of Department Head, and since then, I’ve been heavily involved in the Set department, mostly as the head. Like my fellow officers, I’m passionate about continuing my theater career in college and beyond. My dream is to branch out into all areas of entertainment as an environmental/set designer and eventually as an art or creative director.

Hey y'all, I'm Naomi Schwankl-Jobe and I am your Troupe Historian! I am a senior this year and I have been a member of the troupe since my freshman year and I specialize in costume design! I am strictly a backstage kind of gal but costumes has always been something that I've really enjoyed, and that is what originally got me involve in the troupe. I have worked on 10 shows both with costumes and marketing, and I am currently the Head Designer for our fall musical, Little Shop of Horrors. I am so excited to be working with the officer board this year, and I think this year is going to be really fun!

I've acted in eight productions and worked as a technician in three, including being a stage manager this past season. This year I am looking forward to growing my passion for theatre and getting more underclassmen involved and watching them fall in love with this program like I have. As Jr Rep it is my job to communicate to Troupe members on our Instagram and get them excited to work on productions and events. I can't wait for all the amazing experiences DSA Theatre will bring me this year and I look forward to working with this incredible group of officers and Troupe!
