Joli Springborn
as Ursula
Joli, a Senior, has been in every school play since 5th grade, with her most notable role being Ursula in her 6th-grade production of The Little Mermaid (which sounds really familiar...). Despite her dream to be a geochemist, Joli has been surrounded by the arts since she was a child and still finds very few things better than acting, singing, and playing her cello. She wants to thank her best friend Emily, who has shared this journey with her since Elementary school, and her parents, who have encouraged her to be whoever she wanted to be, even an evil octopus.
