Meet the Spotlight Team!
Abby Mitchell

Dev Gangaputra

What’s up guys! I’m Dev and if I’m not constantly rehearsing, I’m either hanging out with my friends, my family, or my cats. You can also find me playing Mario Kart or reading a book.

Hi! I’m Eren. I love to read books, play video games, listen to music, and bake! When I’m not doing theater, I’m either procrastinating on my homework, hanging out with friends, or failing my math tests.
Ella Ngo-Miller
Chief Technical Officer
Hey! I’m Ella. If I’m not doing theatre, you’ll find me reading or writing or raving about my latest interest. Interests include everything from Brooklyn 99 to my two Yorkshire terriers to the Philadelphia Eagles, and so much in between.
