This year, Wyeth Haddock is playing Roger in Bad Auditions Caught on Camera. He has had a lot of fun playing with his character, especially considering that it has all been virtual. While this has all been a bit challenging and confusing on zoom, he has found that it’s nothing he can’t handle. Wyeth has participated in theatre since elementary school, most recently portraying Lord Pinkleton in Cinderella, Eddie in the Yellow Boat, Daddy Warbucks in Annie, and Julien Poydras in Lafayette No. 1. In his free time, Wyeth likes to run and bike, do schoolwork, and eat soup. He would like to thank the producers and directors who have made this challenging show possible. Wyeth would also like to thank you for tuning in to the show!

Alaina is extremely excited to be playing the role of the frazzled mother Gina Marie in this year’s virtual production of Bad Auditions On Camera. A virtual show is very different from what the drama club is used to doing, but Alaina loves the challenge and is glad that she and the rest of the dramatic arts ensemble can still perform. She has been in many past productions, portraying an ape in Tarzan, a townsperson in Cinderella, and Mrs. Pugh, Oliver Warbucks’ chef in Annie. She also participated in elementary drama. Alaina’s hobbies outside of drama include dance, singing in chorus, playing her flute in band, spending time outside, and reading for hours on end. She would like to thank her family, friends, and directors for always supporting her and pushing her to be the best actress she can be. She is looking forward to this year’s production, and hopes you enjoy the show!

The most challenging part has been working over Zoom, everything from lighting to poor connections to projecting the character through a screen. The most enjoyable part has been working with the rest of the cast and crew, even though we can’t be in person, it’s been great to be able to have something for drama this year. Land (aka Skippy) has previously participated in the production of Annie in 2019, playing the role of Drake, the butler. He enjoys snowboarding, acting, playing music, singing and spending time with friends, family and cats. He would like to thank everyone who helped make this show possible.

Maddie Slocombe is playing the character Mya Scott. What she really enjoyed about doing this show was that she got to write her own script because there weren’t enough initial characters but it was fun because she got to be creative. Shows that she's been involved in in the past are Shrek, Mary Poppins, Tarzan, Cinderella, Anne, and The Yellow Boat. Some things that she likes are snowboarding, anime, music, spending time with her dog, taekwondo, and videogames. To her dog: Hi Sophie! Thank you for being my best friend! This year was interesting because typically for one acts like these she would be the lights person but she gets to be an actor this year which is really fun.
