Who's Who

Addison Araiza

as JoJo

Addi (7th grade) has never been in a play before, so Newsies Jr. is her first one. Although she isn't a theater kid, singing is actually her hobby outside of school, and she has sung the national anthem at a Purcellville Cannons baseball game. She loves animals and wants to give a shoutout to her family for encouraging her to do theater. She loves them so much!
Hailey Barton

as Seitz

Hailey is in 7th grade, and this is her 7th play and 4th musical. She's been doing theater since 5th grade, her first production being A Christmas Story with Goose Creek Players. She's really excited to be on the stage once again. She would like to thank her mom and dad for believing in her from being nervous at tryouts all the way to every show.
Erin Beason-Dollar

Dance Crew

Erin is in 7th grade, and this is her first play. She has been dancing for seven years and dreams of being a professional dancer someday. She thanks her family for their support through it all. In addition to dancing she also enjoys art, and she wants to be a painter and an interior designer. Her goal is to attend George Mason University. “Seize the day!"
Emma-Kate Beekman

as Albert

Emma-Kate is a 7th grader and very excited to be a part of Newsies Jr. at Harmony this year. This is her third musical theater performance. She enjoys singing, playing outside, and playing sports, especially softball and basketball. Her future goal is to play sports in college. She is very enthusiastic and fun to be around.
Ana Brown
