This show has been an emotional rollercoaster, and their support has been invaluable in helping her get this far. Mia would also like to thank Mr. Bavone, who has consistently been there for her, regardless of the situation. He is someone she deeply trusts, and she is grateful for the opportunity to work with him during her final year of high school.

William Torres
William is excited to be part of Augusta and Noble! William’s journey in theater began when a poster for Don Quixote caught his eye. His love for bilingual shows inspired him to play Perez (the Priest) in Don Quixote (performed in Spanish). Now in his third year on stage, William has also portrayed one of the Lost Boys in Peter/Wendy. When he’s not acting, William enjoys singing, drawing, playing guitar, and staying active with soccer, basketball, and badminton. He extends heartfelt thanks to his friends (on and offstage), Mr. Bavone, Ms. Sadowski, Mr. Drobny, and the amazing tech crew for bringing this production to life and fostering a love for theater.

Jessika Alvarez
ez joined Teatro Leyden out of sheer curiosity, wanting to try something new after school—and it turns out, she loves it! This is her first experience in theater, and she’s grateful for the fun and friendships it has brought her. When she’s not on stage, Jez enjoys playing video games, drawing, and creating edits of her favorite characters. She’d like to thank her dad for his incredible support, always picking her up at 9 PM even with his busy schedule caring for her baby sisters and working early the next day. Jez also extends her thanks to the teachers for giving her this opportunity and helping her discover a new passion. Oh, and she’d like to add—she likes potatoes!

Emma De Leon
Emma first got involved in theater by auditioning for The Game of Tiaras, where she played a French soldier and discovered how much fun being part of a production could be! Since then, she’s been hooked on performing. Outside of theater, Emma enjoys crocheting, listening to music, baking, binge-watching TV shows and movies, and has recently developed an interest in learning to play the drums and electric guitar. Her favorite moment during Augusta and Noble was the hilarious chaos that ensued when CBS News came in to interview two actors during rehearsal—definitely a memorable highlight! Emma would like to thank her older sister for her unwavering support, funny accents, and helpful tips that made memorizing lines much easier. Her sister’s encouragement kept Emma motivated, even on the tough days.

She has been in 3 Leyden productions, and is looking forward to her fourth. Brooke has previously performed in Newsies Jr. and Game of Tiaras. When she isn't onstage, Brooke enjoys being in Girl Scouts, reading, and bracelet making. She loved being able to find and distribute the props for this production. Brooke would like to thank the whole Leyden Theater Company for all their hard work and dedication, and her parents for supporting her love of theater. She hopes you enjoy our production of Augusta & Noble!
