Ms. Jessica McCarty
Technical Director
Jessica McCarty is thrilled to be a part of Poly High School's production team for Once Upon A Mattress. She has worked with RUSD for the past six years serving as an on-call theatre technician assisting various organizations throughout the district as a technical director and lighting designer. Some notable groups she has worked with have been: Inland Regional Youth Theatre, Riverside Children's Theatre, Corona Dance Academy, and Ramona Dance. When Jessica is not working with RUSD, she is teaching her own theatre program at San Jacinto High School who is also currently in rehearsals for their upcoming show! Jessica would like to thank Mr. MarkerMorse for providing this opportunity, and the technicians and actors for their skills of adapting to an outside space and creating an amazing show!

Elizabeth Calderon
Director
Elizabeth Calderon, also known as Betty, is a senior here at Poly and the One Act student director for Once Upon a Mattress! She has been a part of theatre since freshman year and has been in notable roles and positions such as Betty Paris from The Crucible, Portia from Shakesplosion, student directing for Shakesplosion, and directing alongside Mr. MarkerMorse for Clue. She would like to thank Quinn for being an incredible co-director, Mr. MarkerMorse for allowing her to direct again, Twila for her immense work for the show, and Aaliyah for keeping her centered and communicating any technical aspects. She is excited to honor her first show and produce her own one-act festival early next year around March alongside other student directors and writers. She is also incredibly proud of every cast member for putting their heart and soul into this show and wants them to know their work paid off, especially the ensemble.
