Chris Dostilio: Senior
As a senior here at Mashpee and first time member of the Blue Falcon Theater Company, I’m beyond excited to help bring Puffs to stage. In my time at Mashpee, I’ve focused a lot of my time to the football team, being a senior captain and 2-way varsity starter. Next year, I hope to study Computer Science in college. Though I haven’t fully decided where yet, it’s most likely that I will attend the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, playing football there as well. Beyond that, I’m also an aspiring author and I am hoping to have my first book published for my senior project. Â
William Henley:Senior
William is a seasoned veteran of the Blue Falcon Theater Company. He has performed in all manner of productions from musicals like "The Little Mermaid" to contemporary dramas such as "Discovering Amelia". This is not his only participation in the Mashpee arts program, as he routinely performs with the High School Band and Chorus groups, and appears on the Mashpee Minute weekly web show hosted by the Mashpee A.V. Club. He graduates later this year, and plans to attend American University in Washington D.C. in September for international and political studies. Most importantly, William hopes you enjoy Puffs, his final show at MMHS. Zach Smith Forever!
David Kelley: Senior
A young man sits in the basement writing this bio, and while the eighteenth year of his life was approaching fast, it was just today he wrote this bio. His name is DAVID BROOKS KELLEY. A big time introvert and an enjoyer of many things, including WEBCOMICS such as; HOMESTUCK (Who would've guess from this bio?), VAST ERROR, and TWOKINDS. Another thing enjoyed would be VIDEOGAMES such as MINECRAFT and TERRARIA. He also engages in several hobbies including; WRITING STORIES, POETRY, BOOKBINDING, PROGRAMMING, and TEXT-BASED GAME DESIGN. A big fan of GRAMMAR and SPELLING, he prefers to use BRITISH ENGLIGH and is a massive fan of PHONETICS. He enjoys all around CREATION, though knows that EVERYTHING ENDS, and ALL WILL BE LOST TO TIME. HE is I, and I am HE. I waste my time and wish I don't, I create worlds I know I'll lose, I lose myself in worlds that aren't my own, and I'm afraid of the end but know it comes.
Hannah Phu: Senior
I'm a senior this year and have been in the plays and musicals at the Blue Falcon Theater Company since my freshmen year. My first year I played Georgiana in Pride & Prejudice, Courtney Knicks in Discovering Amelia, Titania/Bottom/Flute in Shakespeare's Bachelorette. This year I am playing Leanne in Puffs and I am enjoying being the cheerleader in everyone's life!
Juliana Reynolds: Senior
Jules made her first appearance on the stage in Blue Falcon Theatre Club's "Pride and Prejudice" her freshman year as Lydia Bennet. From there, she continued her theatre experience the following year as Amelia Earhart in "Discovering Amelia" and Kate and Ophelia in "A Night With Shakespeare". She is grateful to both Mrs. Reynolds and the administration for doing everything in their power to make sure that a show could be performed last year as well as this year. Jules would like to extend her gratitude to the rest of the cast and those she has performed with the past four years; without them, she would not look forward to the stress of tech week!Â
Jenna Thompson: Senior
This is Jenna's first time doing theater. She just wanted to try something new before leaving MMHS. She has had a great time and made so many memories!!
Serena Tripp: Senior
Theatre has been a big piece of my life since joining in seventh grade. I have loved preforming in the several plays we have put on, from Pride and Prejudice to Little Women to, now, Puffs! The stage has been my home since I was young, since starting dance at the age of 3, and theatre has continued my passion for performance. With competitive dancing and theatre, my confidence has grown greatly, and I'm proud of my growth in this area. Alongside theatre, I participate in many other programs in the school, such as HOSA, NHS, and NAHS. With clubs like HOSA - future health professionals, I was able to learn about health sciences, and possible career interests for my future. All through high school expanded my interests and tried a wide variety of activities - by far theatre was one of my favorite. My passion for preforming arts has been such an intergral part of my life, and I'm excited to continue in the future. Thank you to the BFTC and the wonderful experience I have had, and thank you to Mrs. Reynolds especially for the fun I have had. Â
Eve Mayen
This is Eve's 8th show with the BFTC, she is excited to be doing yet another show with the company as it is on one of her favorite subjects, Harry Potter. In her free time she enjoys playing the French Horn, reading, skiing racing, singing, horseback riding, spending time with friends and family, trying to figure out 9th grade, and playing with her dog, Myrtle. She would like to thank the cast for all the great memories including Will's tallies and the messing up of line reactions. Eve would also like to thank Mrs. Reynolds for all the work she has put in for dealing with everyone, as it is not an easy task! Lastly she would like to thank all her friends and family for their support. She hopes you enjoy as you are transferred into the magic of this show. And remember Draco Dormiens Nunquam Titillandus!

I’m recent to acting so I’m learning the basics of expressing myself in theater but I’m willing to try my best. I have done ballet and dance for 5 years of my life, just like others who have done theater.Â
Piper Milde
Piper Milde is a sophomore this year, and she goes to this school. This is her first official play, as her only other performances have both been musicals.

Jonah Erdman: Senior
My name is Jonah Erdman, a senior at MMHS. I have been involved in the Blue Falcon Theatre Company since 7th grade and have been on the tech crew since then. My first job in the booth was as a spotlight operator, I then worked my way up to lighting board operator and have now come as far as being the technical director. I am president of the MHS Audio/Visual club, responsible for setting up, operating, and maintaining the equipment for all auditorium events. I have become so fond of this industry and field, that I plan to attend a four year university studying Technical Design & Production with a focus in Lighting Design Technology. The BFTC has been an amazing starting point and I hope to be back soon to assist with future productions. I have spent the past month putting this show together with over 100 sound effect cues and a wonderful use of our recently installed lighting system. This is by far one of the most technically involved shows I have done here at MMHS and we are featuring a few of our newly trained technicians operating the equipment. I hope you enjoy!!
Hunter Tobey: Senior
Hunter is a senior as MHS, and is the Vice President of the Audio Visual Department. He has assisted in the production of multiple events. He loves working with the school, and enjoys experimenting to find new ways of utilizing school technology to improve daily operations. Hunter most recently assisted with an AV training that taught the next generation of MHS AV students all of the roles the AV students will serve as they take over as the future MHS AV team. Hunter previously served as the only Massachusetts representative on the FEMA National Youth Preparedness Council, and frequently met with FEMA representatives in DC to further the efforts of emergency preparedness on a federal scale. He received national attention for his creation and facilitation of a Tornado Preparedness Webinar, that brought together Federal, Tribal, State, Local, and non-profit organizations to discuss tornado responses on Cape Cod. The webinar was attended by over 80 people. Hunter currently works as an assistant Radio & Communications Technician for the Barnstable County Sheriff's Office. Hunter was recently admitted into Massachusetts Maritime Academy as an Emergency Management major, in pursuit of a career with the Massachusetts State Police.Â

I am running the sound board for a lot of the shows, but I want to get better at using the lights and other things around the school. I play school sports such as tennis and soccer. When I am home I enjoy playing games and video games with my friend and family. I play soccer in my backyard, and jump on my trampoline with my family and friends. I'm exited to be part of this and want to do more in my MMHS career.Â
