Monrovia High School

Cast and Creatives Who's Who

Samantha Spilker

as Rona Lisa Perretti/Olive's Mom

I am honored to be a part of this cast. I have been doing musical theatre for the past eight years and during that duration I have done thirteen shows and taken a multitude of dance classes. I am very pleased to be able to perform in front of you all tonight. I would like to thank everyone in the Spelling Bee cast and crew for their amazing work in this production. Also my Mom and Dad for putting me in a musical theatre class many years ago; without that I would not be where I am today. Musical Theatre in my opinion is one of the best parts about this life and I can't wait to be apart of more shows in the future. Thank you again for coming and I hope you enjoy the show.
Stefin Bank

as Chip Tolentino/Dan Dad/Jesus

Stefin is a proud member of the Theater Conservatory here at Monrovia High School. He is very happy to be in many productions at MHS and outside with Centre Stage. He has been featured in roles such as Prince Eric, Plankton, Rudolpho and many other amazing roles. He wishes his fellow cast mates to break a leg and have a great show!
Bex Andelin

as Vice Principal Panch

Bex is a senior here at MHS and is excited to give one final performance as Vice Principal Panch, having previously acted in roles such as Paul in Moon Over Buffalo and Mr. Duvall in Mean Girls. Bex has (almost) thoroughly enjoyed the experience of high school theater, thanks family and friends for their (nearly) eternal support, and hopes everyone enjoys this (mostly) chipper and lively show!
