When not learning more about music and theatre history in class, she is writing stories, playing ukulele, and watching good movies with my family.

Roseanna sends love to her friends at CWorks for encouraging her artistic ambitions outside of school, her teachers for guiding her through her growth in the arts, and her parents for being excellent chauffeurs for her and her sister. “Nothing pleases me more than to go into and come out with a piece of music.” –Paul McCartney

Christopher Hudert

Christopher is the second-youngest student of the Musical Theatre III class and is looking forward to being the second-youngest student of Musical Theatre IV. He enjoys doing several things which he’s never done yet (Positivity!) and watching others do those things. He also sometimes reads, and as far as interesting facts go, it’s all downhill from there: He played Amahl in the fiftieth anniversary of his city's Rec and Parks Department's annual production of Amahl and the Night Visitors when he was nine years old. He is complacent with this relative anonymity as it allows his assiduous plots to proceed without further incident. Has his turgid diction sufficiently enervated you yet? You needn't wonder where your femur has gone to in the morning.

Alexandria Fuselier

Alex is ecstatic to be a part of this never before seen CFA production as Oak Green High School’s gym teacher, Miss Jackson. Alex first debuted in Henrico High-school’s production of Pippin and has recently finished another Henrico High School Drama Club production, Addams Family.
