Director

Jillian Trader

Hi Everyone! I am a theatre person at heart. The theatre bug bit me when I was 7 years old when I had my first solo in school. I have worked in different theatre venues as an assistant box office manager, head of the front house, properties master, and so on. I am married and have a 4 1/2 year old daughter. I have BA in English Theatre Arts with a minor in Vocal Music and my Masters in Secondary English Education. I have been teaching theatre since I started teaching in 2011. This is my 2nd year as director for Pirandello, and I am super excited. This is what I have always wanted to do. My goal is to expand the program so that the community gets excited & packs our auditorium to see a Pirandello Show.

Music Director

Aldo Aranzulla

Hello! I love music and theatre so so much, it's always been my dream to direct shows! I've been a performer all my life, ever since the first musical I was in, "Once On This Island Jr." I have a Bachelor in both Voice Performance and Music Education, and have performed in professional theatre and choirs for many years. I've been a teacher/director for theatre for 4 years, and this is my 2nd year as a full on co-director and music director through Pirandello Players! I want to share to the community how amazing and dedicated our students are; I can't wait for our theatre program to grow and to put on lots of great shows for everyone to see. I'm SO excited!
