Anna Giovingo

as Jerusha Abbott

Anna Giovingo was born and raised in the Mississippi Delta and was bit by the acting bug when she played a napkin in her local community theatre's production of Beauty and the Beast. She holds a BFA in Musical Theatre from the University of Alabama at Birmingham. She moved to Georgia along with her boyfriend and costar, Gavin, after graduation in December 2022. The two reside in Trilith and are thrilled to bring live theatre to the community. 

Anna's previous credits include Belle in Beauty and the Beast (Washington School), Nancy in Oliver! (Delta Center Stage), Hope Harcourt in Anything Goes (Delta Center Stage) and Grandma Addams in the Addams Family (Northeast Alabama Community College). 

Anna is also a photographer here in Georgia. www.annagiophoto.com 

Special thanks to Gavin for being a rock during this process, her family for always supporting her dreams, and Trilith for being the most amazing creative community. Find her on Instagram @annagiovingo 

Gavin Cleckler

as Jervis Pendleton

Gavin Cleckler was born and raised in Fort Payne, AL, where his theater journey began at Black Berry Little Theatre. His love for theatre grew when he began participating in musicals at Northeast Alabama Community College. After spending a year at Auburn University for STEM, he realized a creative career was his ultimate purpose and source of joy. He went on to achieve a BA in Theatre from UAB. Afterwards, he moved to Georgia with his partner and costar, Anna, and settled down in Trilith.

Over the years, Gavin has held several roles, including Edmund in Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe (BlackBerry Little Theatre), Dewey Maples in The Diviners, Mack in Peter & the Starcatcher,, and Monsieur D’Arque in Beauty & the Beast (NACC).

Special thanks to Anna, my best friend in the whole world, thanks to Faith Gilbert for the crucial role she’s played in making this possible, and to the Trilith community in helping us make this little project a reality.
