ETHS Drama Club

Crew Who's Who

Franchesca Badrina

Student Director

Franchesca "Frankie" Badrina (Assistant Director) is a Sophmore in the Information Technology program at Eastern Technical High School. Always having a soft spot for musicals, Frankie is overjoyed to be working alongside such a talented cast and crew! She's very grateful for this opportunity and excited for all the future shows to come
Jude Nedruda

Stage Manager

Jude The Dude is a senior in the Allied Health Program at Eastern. Not for one second last year did he see himself in the position of Production Manager for the play but he also says there is nothing else he would rather do. The passion and drive he has seen from those around him on stage crew is something he is proud to be a part of. Working alongside Mr. Schimmel and the underclassman who put their energy into the play day-in and day-out is something he will remember for the rest of his life as he says it was one of the best parts of his senior year.
Rebecca Thompson

Props Master

Becca Thompson is a junior in IMP, and while this is their second year as part of stage crew and set design, it’s their first year as Props Master. Becca has been very excited to use their passion for art to create backgrounds, props, paintings, and animations for this year’s show. They would like to thank the entirety of set design and stage crew, as well as the occasional cast member, for working so hard behind-the-scenes this year! It’s been a great year, and they’re looking forward to next year even more!
Shannon German

Project Manager

Shannon German is a sophomore in the construction program. This is her second year being the project manager of the play. She has worked constantly on the structural props for the set putting in class time, Mav time, after school hours, and Saturdays. She’d like to give thanks to the Seniors, Juniors, and Sophomores in construction that have assisted with bringing this set to life. Drama club has been like a home to her over time and she hopes that you enjoy the hard-work, time, and dedication that all of drama club has put toward making this show its best!
