SENIOR BIOS

Sophia Keeling *

Joining drama club as a freshman transformed my high school experience. I fell in love with acting, singing, dancing, and backstage work, and doing that, I broke out of my shell. I have met so many of my closest friends in this club. Drama club is a place to perform and be yourself. You get to be with people you may or may not like for hours a week, but you share such an extraordinary love of theatre. I plan to major in physical or occupational therapy in college in Wisconsin. Don't worry; I'm minoring in dance to keep performing. I love you all, peace out.

Rachel Erich *

I joined Drama Club my freshman year on the tech team. I only joined drama because I had made a promise to someone who happened to run the tech team at Central. I tried out acting in the Variety Show and "Above Average Man" my Junior year and absolutely loved it. I have met some of my best friends in these productions and I am forever grateful. I have been in Drama Club all four years, and my advice to new members is to not be afraid of trying new things because you never know what you'll be good at.

Sylvia Nielsen *

My name is Sylvia Nielsen. This is my fourth year in Drama club. I have been in the crew for all the musicals and plays, except the Wizard of Oz in which I am in the cast. I have also performed in the 2024 Variety show. I plan on going to an UW school to major in Special Education and maybe minor in Spanish. Drama Club is very important to me because I have made so many new friends throughout the years and putting on a show with the people you love is such a wonderful experience. I love the feeling of completing an amazing show after putting in so much hard work.

Kostandino Sdralis*

Hi, I go by Dean for short. I have been in Drama Club since my Freshman year. I was in costumes for my first show, which was so much fun. Then Mr. Clark made sure I auditioned for the next production, and the rest is history. Looking back my favorite thing about Drama Club is the people I've met. Some of my closest friends are or were in this club and maybe it's because we were forced to stay for 3 hours after school around the same people. I have found my passion and plan on pursuing acting further wherever it may be.

Cameron Beauford

My name is Cameron Beauford and I have done drama club for one year. I was in the spring play, above average man. I chose to do it because I thought it'd be cool to try it out and it was fun.

Kenneth Broadway

I'm Kenneth Broadway, I've been in and out of drama since freshman year but I really wanted to commit my senior year. I had a small cameo role in Suite Surrender and am now Uncle Henry/The Gatekeeper in the Wizard of Oz. After highschool, I plan on going to college and majoring in history. I want to get my Phd in History and become a post-secondary history professor in Europe.

Roux Davis

I joined Drama Club my freshman year. It was the best decision I've made in highschool. One of my favorite moments was choreographing and leading the conga line in "Suite Surrender." I've found such a great community here and I'm so grateful for those who brought me out of my shell. To new members, do things scared. Once you stop getting in your own way, the world is yours.

Jasper Diaz

My name is Jasper Diaz and this is my first year in drama. I'm so glad to be on set team this year because it's been a great way to meet people and help out with such a great production. After highschool I will be going to art school hopefully in Seattle and beginning my career as a full time artist.

Jade Eisen

I joined drama my freshmen year and I have loved every moment of it. I went from being scared of the dark to embracing it and guiding others through it all the way to the light at the end of the show when we run down in front of the stage hearing the cheering from the crowd recognizing the work everyone backstage does. Drama is a ragtag family that is an honor to be apart of not a privilege. A hard worker belongs in Drama Club, and a coward makes fun of it, so I encourage you to join and stay the whole time and brush off anyone who tells you otherwise. There is nothing like being on that stage.

Mackenzie Dye

I love Drama Club!

Addison Martinez

I love Drama Club

Bailey Brandies

Drama has been an amazing experience thus far. I've grown as a person. I have met some amazing people who I have made great memories with. A special thanks to scenic design and Birdie for granting me the opportunity to be a part of something great! This was Bailey.

Izabella Hannaman

My name is Izabella Hannaman and I have been in drama club for all 4 years, I have done all the shows, besides the variety shows, I usually am cast for musicals and then crew for plays. After high school, I hope to attend the University of Tennessee Knoxville, majoring in early education, minoring in American sign language. I chose to do drama club because I have always loved to perform, I have been doing musical theatre since 2013. Drama club has been a family to me, anyone and everyone involved is always there for you, whether it is the season or not.

Ash Kraus

I'm Ash and I've been in drama club since freshman year. Most who convinced me to join have left or graduated, but I found drama absolutely amazing for me. I tried set construction but discovered that tech was a better fit and that's what I did ever since the second semester of freshman year. I will be taking the skills I learned with me after I graduate. I'm expecting to go to Green Bay to study languages, particularly french, and commit to theater production. 

Kathleena Lopez

Skibidi Toliet Rizz.

Alex Lukasiewicz

Drama has been so much fun, thanks to Dean for getting me into this. I will miss you all! (Especially Marta)

Bryahna Merrill

I joined Drama Club my freshman year, and it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. I've been a part of cast and crew. After high school, I will be attending a UW school and majoring in Early Childhood Education. Going into high school I knew I wanted to join Drama Club, during my first show, Little Mermaid, I remember questioning if it was the right club for me. Quitting would have been the worst thing I could have done. Through drama I have met my favorite people, my second family, and have made amazing memories.

Abbie Pelphrey

My name is Abbie Pelphrey. I have been in drama club all four years that I have been in high school. My very first show was The Little Mermaid. I fell in love with theatre from the moment I joined. After high school I plan on being and EMT/firefighter. Drama has given me another family. I am so greatful for everything that Mr. Klimzak and drama club has done for me.

Ash Pelphrey

Hi, my name is Ash. I have been doing drama all 4 years of high school. I started on the paint team my freshman year for The Little Mermaid and Elf was my first production on the cast. I am very grateful for everything Drama and Mr.Klimzak have done for me. Everyone in drama is like my second family. I am so happy that I joined and recommend joining to anyone considering it.

Heaven Salts

My name's Heaven Salts. I've been in drama and Hair & Makeup all 4 years. I've participated in every muscial, variety show, and play of my 4 years! I joined drama because I love the creative aspect and it gives me something to do 2x a week. After highschool I'm going to get a Tattoo Apprenticeship! I won't have the time (or money) to do more shows after graduation so the 2025 play will be my last show. 

Hannah Sternburg

I dreamed of joining drama club for years before high school. Originally I wanted to become an actor but as I grew up, I realized it was not for me. My freshman year I joined paint crew and found my place in behind the scenes of the productions. I have participated in each musical and play since then. Drama club has been the best part of all my years in highschool and I will miss it so much. Even if I join drama in college, it won't be the same as drama club at Westosha, and I will never forget the amazing memories, accomplishments, and friends I have made in my time here.

Jack Verhaalen

My name is Jack Verhaalen. I did drama club for 2 years and it was a sublime experience. I participated in the variety show and above average man. I am going to be an architectural engineer after high School. I chose to do drama club because it seemed like a cool thing to try out and get out of my comfort zone. I met lots of new people and had an overall good experience.

Marta Kuczynska

I may not attend Westosha Central anymore, but I am truly honored to still be included. I had no prior experience with drama, working with Mr. Klimzak and this incredible group of people, even for just one year, was an unforgettable experience and surely gave me high expectations for the future! I made lifelong friends, learned so much, laughed, and even cried along the way. If I had the chance to do it all over again, I wouldn't hesitate! I want to wish everyone the best of luck in the upcoming productions—I know you'll do amazing.
