Who's Who

Anna Mei Baker
as Viola
Anna is thrilled to be making her onstage debut with University Theatre! A sophomore double-majoring in Theatre and Evolutionary Biology, she worked behind the scenes on THE COMPLETE WORKS OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE (ABRIDGED) (REVISED) and STUPID F*CKING BIRD, and worked as dramaturg for IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE. She last appeared onstage last summer at the Bartell in RETURNING HOME directed by Darby Fitzsimons. She is endlessly grateful to David for this opportunity, to the cast and crew for all being absolutely phenomenal, and of course to her family for all their love and support--with an extra shout-out to her twin brother, who has never gotten separated from her in a shipwreck.

Addison Basurto
as Sebastian
A graduating senior, TWELFTH NIGHT is Addison’s first ever theatre production. As a youth, his time was consumed with athletics and tomfoolery. On campus, Addison served as on-air personality DJ Addy Adds and Assistant Technical Director at WSUM 91.7. He has DJ’ed for local rappers in addition to providing music for various soirees, both for friends and student organizations alike. Although a Wisconsin native, he graduated from high school in Guam after his mother accepted an offer to teach middle school Spanish at the Naval base the summer before his senior year. Addison enjoys exercising, reading, traveling and music. He has 2 brothers and a wonderful sister who do their best to keep him in check. He graciously invites all attendees to read into the practical usage of Stoic philosophy. Finally, he would like to extend his gratitude to immediate and extended family for their unconditional and constant support.
