HELP! I’m trapped inside this Playbill! An addiction to gambling left me with crushing debt, eight broken ribs, and questionable confidence in a North American witch who would eventually curse me to remain inanimate words in Mark Rourke’s Sense & Sensibility cast bio. BUT NEVERTHELESS! If you do not spin around twice, say beetlejuice three times, put twenty dollars in this playbill, and hand it to Ms. Eben, I will be trapped foreverrrrrr!!!!!! But do so at your earliest convenience and please enjoy the show.

Gavin Wren(12) - Gavin is a senior at SLOHS and Sense and Sensibility is his first show as an actor. Actually, he previously acted in SLOHS shows such as CLUE!, Wizard of Oz, Radium Girls, and Mamma Mia!, where he acted like he knew how to operate sound and lights. You thought he knew what he was doing? Well then you may be even more impressed by this performance. Gavin would like to thank his family for their constant support of his odd schedule and ongoing shenanigans. He will greatly miss this theater company and everyone involved in it that made this experience so wonderful. He hopes you enjoy his first and last acting performance at SLOHS!

Biography coming soon

Thank you so much for attending this production of Sense and Sensibility. With so short a rehearsal period (31 days!), I have been incredibly grateful for the phenomenal cast and crew that put this show together. Their tireless work and enthusiasm have been a beautiful inspiration to me. I could not have asked for a better group.

I would additionally like to extend the ultimate thanks to Ms. Eben for allowing me this opportunity. Her patient support and guidance have made my directorial debut a wonderful experience. Thank you to Lindsay Smith for inspiring me to take this on. Thank you to Mr. Robbins for his generosity and flexibility. Thank you to my wonderful parents for building sets, gathering furniture, and being a constant source of encouragement, and thank you to my sister; you are the Marianne to my Elinor, and I could not have done this without your support.

It says a lot about a piece of literature when one can still feel comfort and connection across centuries of separation. Centering on the relationship between Marianne and Elinor, this performance tells a story of love, heartbreak, misunderstandings, and the ever-strong bond between sisters. It is with the utmost excitement that I present it to you.

All my love and thanks,

Charley Beck

This is Sincoff’s first ever directing endeavor! She is so excited to have gotten this opportunity. Being behind the scenes, instead of onstage, has been a very enlightening and educational experience, and she is so happy to have been able to work with someone as amazing as Charley Beck. It has been quite an stressful, but amazing and fun journey and she is so excited for everyone to the show! Enjoy!
