Irving Youth Theatre

Crew Who's Who

Isabella Martinez

Stage Manager

Isabella (Counselor) is ecstatic about working with the cast, crew and directors of Lion King. This is her third show with IYT, and she could not be happier to help bring fun into the theatres of Irving! She'd love to thank Mr. Hill, Dr. Hill, and her family for the opportunity to help tell this great story.
Matthew Wofford

Lighting Design

Matthew is thrilled to return to his hometown for his IYT debut! Now based in Chicago, he brings over 15 years of experience designing lighting for theater, corporate events, dance, and opera. His work has taken him across the US, with recent international credits in Prague, Dubai, and Italy. He holds a BFA from Texas Christian University and an MFA from Indiana University. Special thanks to Mike Hill, who first opened the door to the world behind the curtain just a few blocks away from this theatre.
Oscar Morales

Sound Design

Oscar is a graduate of IISD Singley Academy and recently married. He currently serves as the Director of Technology Architecture for SRS Real Estate Partners. Outside of his professional work, Oscar brings his technical expertise and creative talent to the Irving Youth Theatre as their official Sound Designer. For the past five productions, he has played a key role in helping every performer sound their best on stage, and he’s always up for the challenge to continuously support and dedicate his time to the IYT.
Sanvi Sri Gorla

Sound Tech

Sanvi just completed 9th grade at Uplift North Hills Preparatory. Her favorite IYT production is Little Mermaid Jr. where she was Scuttle. In her free time she likes singing, acting, drawing, and likes to hang out with friends. She would like to thank her friends and family for their endless support. If Sanvi could be any African animal it would be a bat-eared fox because they are so cute and interesting!
