Cast Bios

Anushka Savale

as Alceste

Anushka Savale is currently a senior at Monta Vista High School. This is her third main stage production, well technically it’s a Zoom production. She will be playing the man who hates humanity, Alceste, aka the misanthrope. In her free time, Anushka sits on her porch to simulate the feeling of going somewhere during the quarantine and she drowns herself with whatever trash is currently available on Netflix. She hopes you can get away from the monotony of the pandemic by enjoying MVHS Theatre’s production of The Misanthrope.
Shruti Sharma

as Philinte

Shruti Sharma is a junior at Monta Vista. This is her third mainstage production, the other two being Mamma Mia! and The Marriage. When she isn't acting, she likes to play soccer and has been playing for the Monta Vista team for the past two years. Other than that, she enjoys playing Minecraft with her friends and scrolling on TikTok for hours on end. She hopes you are staying safe and healthy, and that you enjoy the show!
Olive Tang

as Oronte

Olive Tang is a senior that is very excited to be performing in Monta Vista’s first-ever zoom play! She also has extra character space and needs to fill up the text box so it doesn’t stand out too much or look too sparse. Thanks.
Elene Pilpani

as Célimène

Elene Pilpani is a senior and is so excited to be performing in this year's online production of The Misanthrope. In her free time, she tries to get Olive to say "I love you" back to her. She has been unsuccessful so far, but she has not lost hope. Elene also suggests joining Speech, but it isn't a suggestion, if you are reading this, you HAVE to.
