TYA’S RISING STARS YOUTH THEATER COMPANY
SHOCK OF HIS LIFE CAST
Who’s Who?
Helen Bell as Mrs. Maxwell
I have been in two previous TYA shows: The Wizard of Oz and The Jungle Book. I am 13 years old, and I am super-excited for this show! This is my first speaking role and I can’t wait. I have one dog and I play the flute. I am an 8th grader at Oostburg Middle School. I love being a clown with my family, singing, and acting; I hope you enjoy the show!
Kade Byrand as Hercules
I’m 10 years old. I have two dogs, two guinea pigs, a few fish and a cat. I love science, geography and the arts, but I’m a terrible speller. I played the sarcastic lamb in Charlotte’s Web for TYA in October 2008 and am assistant set designer and lighting assistant in this play, along with acting in it. I am in 5th grade at the Elementary School for the Arts and Academics at Grant School.
Lily Friedrich as Michelle Maxwell
This is my second play this year. Earlier in summer, I had a ball playing Pinocchio in the TYA production of Hey Ho Pinocchio. I really enjoy acting and hope to continue to be involved in community theater for a long time to come.
Anna Menzer as Jennifer Maxwell
I’m in 8th grade at Horace Mann. I like singing, dancing and acting. I’ve been in five different plays with the Sheboygan Theatre Company. I play the clarinet and I love animals.
Jesse Rogers as Mr. Maxwell
I am 13 years old and in the 7th grade at Oostburg Middle School. I enjoy acting, writing, reading, and music. I have a bunny and a dog. This is my third year of being involved in TYA. I was in High School Musical, Aristocats, Charlotte’s Web and The Jungle Book. I hope to be a writer or an actor. I saw two shows on Broadway this summer!
Quinn Zufelt as Wilbur Maxwell
Quinn is 10 years old and attends Lake Country Academy in Sheboygan. He enjoys reading and acting. He was a munchkin in TYA's The Wizard of Oz and a monkey in The Jungle Book. He is very excited to have the chance to play Wilbur, his biggest role SO FAR!!!!
