    is very happy to be a part of this production! She is a junior day student and this is her sixth production at Salem Academy.  Her favorite previous roles include Teddie in The Ghost Train (Salem Academy), Julian Goodman in Communicating Doors (Salem Academy), and Squirmy the Musical Tapeworm in Employees Must Wash Hands...
