Who's Who

She would like to thank “all her teachers and family, especially her dad, who is the best backstage dad ever!”

Julia, a rising 9th grader, has been an avid musical theatre student taking dance and voice instruction since she was 5 years old. She recently celebrated 150 performances, appearing in our spring production of Annie JR and School of Rock (Shonelle) at the Sandler Center.

Connor Auby

as Northbrook

Connor has been a part of Centerstage since 2014, where he began taking voice lessons with Rita Leonardi and was first introduced to musical theatre in the 2016 production of Tarzan. This sparked his passion for the theatrical arts. He went on to earn lead roles in 6 more musicals at Centerstage and 5 shows at York High School. Today, Connor is a rising sophomore at CNU majoring in Neuroscience with a minor in Leadership. Connor has dreams of going to medical school, so he focuses his efforts on maintaining high grades, volunteering in hospice, researching in a lab and shadowing physicians, while continuing to develop his voice and acting with Mark Bzdick.

Admiral Boom/Bank Chairman

Aedyn, a rising freshman at Tabb High, began theatre at Centerstage 7 years ago. Past shows include OZ! (Wizard), Willy Wonka (Mr. Salt), and most recently Annie JR (Bert Healy).
