CAST

This show marks Wulfman's first major acting role in a production since she started high school. Through her lower classman and junior year Wulfman shifted her focus to the directing, stage managing and tech aspects of shows but was ready to get back in front of an audience. She's incredibly grateful to Chrissy Contino, the Shary Family and the Hansen Family for everything and hopes you enjoy the show!

Maggie is a senior at SLOHS and is one of the co-presidents of our Drama Club. She has been in local shows such as The Little Mermaid (Ariel), Mary Poppins (Mrs. Brill) and Into The Woods (Ensemble). She recently was in SLOHS’s productions of Mamma Mia! as Donna and in The Addams Family as Alice, as well as CYT’s Wizard of Oz as Glinda! She hopes you enjoy the show and savor these moments of togetherness...

Kaylie Hall is a senior at SLOHS and has been an active member of SLOHS Drama for the past few years. She’s played roles such as Brooke in the 2018 production of Be More Chill, and Ali in the 2019 Mamma Mia! She loves dancing, writing, and her three cats, and has made the most of this quarantine, especially since she’s an introvert. She is very grateful for the opportunity to be able to be a part of a show for her senior year, in-person or not.

Jayda is more than happy to be continuing theatre her senior year at SLO High, previous roles being Christine in Be More Chill and Wednesday in The Addams Family. She enjoys the color green, grilled cheese, and going on adventures with friends. She truly hopes you enjoy The Party Hop <3

Allison is thrilled to be a part of drama during her senior year, even if it is online. She would like to thank her parents for staying quiet during rehearsal hours.

Stepro has been waiting for this opportunity for years. Having experience in Shakespearean and casual acting in a private school not too far away, he is ready to show his skills to you tonight in The Party Hop. In this play, Stepro, portraying Nathan tonight, says that "Nathan is a condescending middle-aged man who won't shut up about his guy-friend not being to the party. I love it." Stepro is ready to take on his first ZOOM play tonight and has to thank his parents for supporting him and his own equipment for tonight's play.

He would like to thank his family and friends, especially Annabelle Oglesby and Camryn Trowbridge-Wise, for their EXTREME belief in him, and Netti Wulfman for helping him practice lines.
