Who's Who

Aidan Short*

as Theseus, Duke of Athens

Aidan Short (Junior) has been acting for over 11 years. Some of his favorite roles are Dracula (AHS), Henry V (Montford Moppets) and Pup in Different Strokes’ Monsters of the American Cinema. When not onstage, Aidan enjoys collecting rubber ducks and swinging cool looking sticks around in a festive manner.
Leah Dickinson*

as Hippotyta, Queen of the Amazons

Leah (Senior) is playing Hippolyta while co-directing costumes with Ari. Recently, you may have seen her directing her original play "Get Away Car." She is an avid musician and writer. She would like to thank Circe for being her muse, and she reminds you to take moment of silence for the immeasurable talent of Willow Garrison.
Oliver Morris*

as Lysander

Oliver Morris (Senior) is back again, whether you wanted him to be or not, playing Lysander. You've seen him before when he was the frantic Bouc in Murder on the Orient Express and the frantic Detective Abernathy in The Unexpected Death of Arthur Bennet. Oliver has been doing theatre since 2nd grade, so long you would think he would be better at it by now. His favorite hobbies include playing Floor is Lava with his best friend Troy. He would like to thank his Spanish teacher Senor Chang for believing in him.
Jake McCowan*

as Demetrius

Jake McCowan (Junior) is honored to be playing Demetrius. You may have previously seen them as an ensemble member in our Chicago or as Colonel Arbuthnot in Murder on the Orient Express. Their hobbies include listening to musicals, watching movies, and designing unnecessary business cards for whatever character Sam Cintron happens to be playing. Jake would like to thank the cast and crew for making the show come together as well as it did, Ms. Hilliard for putting up with their (and everyone else's) nonsense, and their father for assisting them in building an extremely frustrating and bothersome platform.
