Who's Who

Kaleigh Buda

as Pugsley Addams

Sophomore Kaleigh Buda is holly jolly to play Pugsley in LWW’s production of The Addams Family. This is her second musical at West, her first being Shrek The Musical in which she played Pinocchio. She wants to give a shout-out to her best friend Nunya Beeswax, and remind her how loved she is. (P.S. Kaleigh and Alexis W. wrote Evan B.’s bio.) “… A basket of hugs!”
Tristin Hilton-Carlson

as Lurch

Tristin Hilton-Carlson is a senior here at West and is so excited to be playing Lurch that he is speechless. (Literally.) He enjoys prairie dancing and pouring potions. Some of his past hobbies include archery, diving, and circus work. “Wow! There’s a real bass part in here!”
Nick Marchigiani

as Mal Beineke

4th-year Nick Marchigiani is ecstatic about playing Mal for TAF! Since 8th grade Nick has played in shows like IWT (Aaron Kendall) SWVS (Rowdy) and others! Nick loves to spend time playing his instruments and recording music. He is going to ISU for Audio Production. “I want you to matter to you, forget those backstabbers.”
Stella Coughlin

as Alice Beineke

Senior Stella Coughlin is delighted to play Alice. Previous roles include Jane Bennett (P&P), Yvette (Clue), Pig #1 (Shrek), and directing “The Elmae.” Last summer she attended the NHSI Cherubs program at Northwestern where she explored many aspects of theatre. She is grateful for her supportive family and friends. “Theatre is a lot of fun; a place that welcomes everyone."
Nolan Adam

as Lucas Beineke

Nolan is thrilled to be playing (basically) himself in TAF! When he isn’t performing, he is often seen at Paisano’s, a club meeting, or out on the town with friends. As his high school experience comes to a close, he’d like to thank everyone that has made his last four years better than he could’ve ever imagined. “Enjoy the show on this completely ‘normal’ night!”
