She started to perform outside of her family in second grade and hasn’t stopped! Brinley performed with MDT Companies at Utah COPA in American Fork for seven years and has had opportunities to be cast in roles in Alice in Wonderland, Legally Blonde, James, and the Giant Peach and is looking forward to developing her talents at Skyridge. Brinley would like to thank you and her family, especially her parents, who have always supported her through everything.

She is so excited to start her skyridge theatre career.

Abilene
Lucius & Margory
Lina has had so much fun with the Skyridge theater department, and can’t wait to continue over the years. She has played Nala in the Lion King, and Deloris Van Cartier in Sister Act. This is her third time participating in a play/musical and is really glad she is a part of this amazing play.

She wishes that she could be in this play forever, but is super excited for the musicals and plays coming up!
Bull
Malakai is someone who’s always up for an adventure, whether it’s running, acting, or hitting the trails on a 4-wheeler. He really likes science, especially physics, and burnt marshmallows never disappoint! Thanks to his ADHD, Malakai’s mind can wander off on some quite interesting tangents, but that’s just part of what makes him who he is. He’s the kind of guy who might fall down randomly, wear tape on his nose to an audition, or decide that today is the day to climb a tree that’s 150 feet tall with no climbing gear whatsoever – because why not? Life’s more fun with a little spontaneity!
Bull
Max enjoys theater and has been in over twelve shows. Some of his favorites have been Newsies (playing Jack Kelly), Rock of Ages (playing Stacey Jaxx), and Alice in Wonderland (playing Cheshire Cat). When he’s not rehearsing or performing he enjoys playing video games and reading. He like to give a special thanks to his parents for supporting him through his theater career and is excited to see where it goes after this show!

Lawrence
Lawrence
Zach is a tired and exhausted sophomore with a love for sleep. Every day, he eats, sleeps, wakes up, and repeats. He has never picked up a fishing rod in his life, and is in no way qualified for any role in Theatre. On another note, he played “Sydney Bennett” in Viewpoint middle schools’ 2023 show; “Murder on the 518”. While being utterly unqualified for either of these roles he has thoroughly enjoyed both and he is in no way being coerced to write this!
Lawrence
Zach is really excited to finally be joining the Skyridge Theatre community. Zach has starred as R.F Simpson in Singing in the Rain Jr, as Bobby Child in Crazy For You Jr, and as Sponge in James and the Giant Peach Jr. He also played guitar in the pit for Frozen at Skyridge last fall. He loves playing the role of Lawrence and has had so much fun learning and growing with his friends in this charming play.
