    as Tom

    Ms. Laura Gawron is in eighth grade and has been at HAST for two years. She plays Tom Mizer. Laura has previously played Actor 2 in “Vintage Hitchcock,” and participated in our student run showcase “Jump!”  She is incredibly excited to be in this fantastic show with this wonderful cast and crew. She would like to thank her family for pushing her past their skepticism, her friends listening to them rant about this spectacular show, Samarah for running lines with her, Ms. Hartz and Gabe for convincing her to join choir (thus giving her the courage to audition), this year’s seniors for teaching her so much, and most of all, the entire fine arts department for being the kindest and most wonderful people she has ever met.
