Drake Chavez

as Moritz

Drake is honored to be apart of such an amazing show. This is his 8th show with CAT and it has been such a wonderful experience. You may know Drake from some of his favorite roles including She Loves Me (Arpad Laszlo) , Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (Benjamin), and Beauty and the Beast (LeFou). Thank you to the audience for supporting this phenomenal show!
Kelsey Puryear

as Wendla

Kelsey is excited to return to the stage after getting her English degree at Cal State Fullerton! Previous High Desert credits include Elle Woods in Legally Blonde and ensemble roles in Gypsy, Catch Me if You Can, and Les Miserables. She wants to thank her family for always supporting her and ensuring music was in her life and the CAT family and Amy Ross for creating positive theatre experiences.
Karen Ayres

as Adult Women

Karen is proud and humbled to be cast in this production. It is thought provoking, emotional and is bound to make a few people uncomfortable. It clearly depicts the age old story of teenagers learning about themselves and how adults, thinking they know whats best, can cause the most damage by "protecting" their children too much.
Lance Odom

as Adult Men

This is Lance's 3rd Show With CAT , previous roles include Sipos in She Loves me and Plant Puppeteer in Little Shop of Horrors. He hopes you truly enjoy this show and that it takes you on the same Emotional Rollercoaster that it took him on. Making this show was a once and a lifetime opportunity that I'll never forget. He wants to dedicate his performance to his wife Meghan.
