The last four years have been a blur. Every moment I will cherish forever. I plan on continuing my passion, musical theater, and use my talents for the world to see.
Kyndall Hendricks
Kyndall steps onto the stage ready to take her final bow...closing a chapter that has been filled with nothing but new friendships, laughter, passion, and unforgettable moments. After years of being in theater, Kyndall's heart is full as she prepares for her last performance as Mary Sunshine in the show "Chicago." As she takes her final bow, she hopes to put a smile on people's faces and express and portray the magic of the stage, and the stories she's told. She is forever grateful for the moments that shaped her as a performer and All That Jazz. She's sad to leave but can't wait for the future ahead of her.
Cory Hodgers
As my time in high school comes to an end, I reflect on everything I've done with my time here. Some highlights include winning two playoff games with my football team, performing at the chorus cluster concert three years in a row, and becoming an Honor Graduate. After high school I plan to attend Kennesaw State University, to pursue my major of Media and Entertainment studies, and minor in music.
Josh Bowen
These past four years have flown by. I’m extremely grateful for each teacher and castmate I’ve had for they have all taught me lessons that I will hold close to my heart in all my future endeavors. Speaking of futures, mine consists of nothing set in stone. I have luckily been accepted to my top choices for college which include Oklahoma City University and University of Arizona. As far as performing arts goes, I will either continue using my talents in college or go straight to professional work. I have the opportunity to be in a dance film this summer and lots of professional auditions are lined up for me. None of these opportunities could be possible without each of my coaches and teachers in these past four years; Thanks to Ms. Ondre, Carly Wood, Alicia Chitwood and every single teacher I have been able to experience here at Peachtree Ridge. I have gained unforgettable knowledge and experience for all aspects of my life. I can’t put into words how thankful I am.
Caralena Ondre
This is my first musical and I am so excited for it to be "Chicago." I have been in the Ridge Performing Arts department for 4 years in both theater and dance. Now I am going to be in college for dance, and am hopeful to add some theater in the mix. I have danced for 15 years and am extremely glad for "Chicago" to be my last Ridge theater performance.
Ana Porras Paiva
In my 4 years in the Ridge Dance Department, I have grown as a dancer and individual. I have learned so much from my favorite teachers and mentors. I could not have accomplished and experienced all I have without these wonderful teachers and peers. My first and last dance team season ended with my amazing team winning a state championship, which I could not be more proud and grateful fo9r. Thank you for these beautiful friendships, experiences, and memories.
