Blythe Lockwood as Alice Murphy
This will be my last production at Arvada West High School. Although I am crestfallen to leave, I have made irreplaceable memories and friends. Through my time here, I have learned and grown so much as a person and an actress. Words cannot describe how much I will miss this environment. I cannot wait to pursue my passion for theatre next year! Thank you to this company for being all it is and more. I would also like to thank my parents and family for being a constant support in this life: you all mean the world to me!
Joe McMaster as Billy Cane
This is my second show at Arvada West, and I'm thrilled for you to see our production of Bright Star! I'd like to thank the theatre company for being a family and pushing me towards this show.
Luke Landskov as Daddy Cane
This is my third and final show at Arvada West, and I have been involved since freshman year. I've loved spending time with all the newbies to theatre (Looking at you, Pieter!) and enjoyed the atmosphere! I'd like to thank God for bringing me to AWest and theatre, Jacoby for inspiring me to be in Newsies, mom and dad for bearing with me for always singing around the house, Carter for every second of sarcasm we share, and both Welshes for making me a better person. #tangoteamforever
Gabby Hanson as Mama Murphy
This is my 7th and final show with the Arvada West Theatre Company. The company and its members have shaped me into who I am today. Truly, I am grateful to call this place my home for one last year. I have met my greatest friends these past years, and I hope every lesson of devotion and love stays with me forever. Thank you to Ms. Welsh for molding me into a functioning person of society, and Dr. Welsh for the epic games of rock paper scissors. Thank you to everyone who has supported me and the company!
Erick Cochenour as Max
Bright Star is my second show here at A-West. I am very excited about our performance. My favorite part of productions like this one is getting to be with friends and creating a true experience out of the time we spend here. Thank you, Ms. Welsh!
Julia Batts as Florence
I have been in the theatre company for 4 years and it is my favorite place on earth. This is my 6th show at Arvada West. We worked really hard on this show and had so much fun putting it together. I am so excited for y'all to see it. Hope you enjoy :)
Tori Foss as Edna
This is my 4th show at Arvada West. Theatre has been such a huge part of my life for the past 2 years, and I am so grateful to have made so many friends and memories. If I had not joined costume crew on a whim last year, I am entirely sure that I would be a completely different person. I have had so much fun working on Bright Star, and I hope this musical showcases all the hard work and dedication that our community puts into the theatre company.
Chris Ho as Daryl Ames
This is my 5th show at Arvada West. I have been in the company for 3 years and it's been the best 3 years of my life. Everyone in the company has been such a blessing and has made me realize the value of life. Thank you Ms. Welsh and everyone in this company! Enjoy the show!
Brooke Bown as Lucy Grant
I have no words. These past 4 years have been the best of my life. From my first show, to my last, I have made such amazing friends and had such incredible experiences. I've made not only friends, but family. People who I hope to have for the rest of my life. It's truly the end of an era, and I have so many people to thank. First, Ms. Welsh for creating such an amazing, inclusive space. Second, Dr. Welsh, for believing in me when I didn't. And to my friends for making these 4 years so amazing. Thank you!
Grace Wallace as Margo Crawford
This is my first and only show at Arvada West! I have loved the process of putting on a musical, and I've loved the people even more. I would like to thank my sister Nora for guilt-tripping me into auditioning, and I would also like to thank all my castmates and our directors for having so much faith in me! You guys are wonderful :) Enjoy the show!!
