 Crew Who's Who 

  • Moshe Henderson

    Creative Director

    Moshe attended Raisbeck Aviation High while earning his art credits at local youth theatre The Hi-Liners. There he performed in his first musical Fiddler on the Roof as Fyedka and would continue on to bigger roles such as Jud Fry in Oklahoma!, Macavity in Cats, Albert Peterson in Bye Bye Birdie, Luis/Lazar in Runaways, and Julian Marsh in 42nd Street. At Village Theatre, Moshe was cast as Ankur Bhatnagar in the staged premiere of Rocket Science and was directed by critically-acclaimed director Steve Tomkins. Moshe then went on to play the role of Peter Van Daan in Renton Civic Theatre’s The Diary of Anne Frank. Moshe's career as a director began with the four-person musical Ordinary Days, which he also starred in as Warren. The show was produced by his theatre group Basement Theatrics (www.BasementTheatrics.com) and in partnership with Renton Civic. In addition to directing, Moshe designs sets with CAD and has property managed several shows. www.MosheHenderson.com

  • Taylor Ruyffeleare

    Choreographer

    Taylor is happy to make her return to the MRHS stage as a celebration of five years out of high school! After graduating as a Ram with the class of 2010, she went on to receive a Bachelor of Music Education from Pacific Lutheran University. Following this production, she will be taking her show on the road to teach general and choral music to elementary aged students in Arizona. Taylor has been an avid and lifelong participant in the Burien arts scene, both performing and working with Choral Sounds Northwest, the NWAA Youth Choral Education Program, The Hi-Liners, and Burien Dance Theatre. She was last seen onstage as Lorraine Fleming in The Hi-Liners production of 42nd Street. Her jobs with these organizations span from dance instructor to administrative manager, and stage manager to set designer. Footloose is Taylor’s first full-length choreographic endeavor, and she could not be more proud of the hard work, sense of community, and talent displayed on this stage tonight. Go Rams!
