Kellen has always had passion for singing and has never been shy to expressing himself. So with pressure from his friends and family, Kellen has entered his first show. Kellen has played football his entire life and that has taught him so many lessons that he will carry with him such as how to work as a team, you're only as strong as your weakest link, and many more. Kellen is immensely excited for Grease and can’t wait to perform.

Cecilia is a freshman who has been involved in musical theater for nearly ten years and who is heavily involved in music. At the current moment, she plays seven instruments, and she plans to participate in the Berks Jr. County Festival this spring. Although this is Cece’s first time participating in a TVHS production, she has adjusted to the new environment fairly easily thanks to her previous experience and the continued support of her brother, Patrick Skoniczin, who plays Roger this musical season. Mrs. Weaver, has assured Cece of her value on numerous occasions and has made sure that she knows that she earned this experience for herself. Because of this, Cecilia would like to thank Mrs. Weaver for being her support and inspiration. She believes that her skills wouldn’t be anywhere near where they are today if it wasn’t for the unique love that Mrs. Weaver has for every member of this production: cast, crew, or pit; lead or ensemble. They all matter the same in her eyes, and it has truly lifted Cecilia to reach for the stars.
