Aly Ignacio - Millie Dillmount
Hi my name is Aly Ignacio. I enjoy theatre and playing volleyball. Ever since I was little I always enjoyed performing/theatre. I found the interest in musical theatre when I was about 10. Since then theatre has been a thing that became one of my hobbies. I'm so thankful to be able to play this part with such a great class.

Riley Fasano - Mrs. Meers
My experience in theatre consists of the Cowardly Lion in The Wizard of Oz, Queen of Hearts in Alice in Wonderland, Serena Katz in Fame Jr, Jenny Mills in The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, and Peddler Polly in Peddler Polly and the Story Stealer, just to name a few. I’m a straight-A student who likes to draw, read and do whatever. I’m a huge fan of bad puns and dad jokes. Fun fact: I’m a certified scuba diver, so that’s cool. I’ve been into theatre and dramatics for a really long time and it’s been a amazing journey that I hope to continue in high school.

Andrew Powell - Trevor Graydon the Third
I’m Andrew Powell and this is my twelfth show I’ve done, my third here at Durant. I’ve been doing musicals for seven years. I always seem to have grey parts here at Durant. In seventh grade I was BB Wolf, which required me to be painted grey to look like a wolf, and this year in eighth I was the Tin Man in The Wizard of Oz. And now I’m Trevor GRAYdon, which also has gray in it.

Jennifer Tran - Miss Dorothy
Hello my name is Jennifer Tran and in the the musical, Thoroughly Modern Millie, I am playing as Miss Dorothy. I have played as the Wicked Witch of the West in the play The Wizard of Oz, so transitioning into a character named Dorothy is quite strange, yet I am ready to fulfill this role. Being on stage has made me more confident and given me the new experience of a world of imagination and creativity in theatre. To be able to act and sing in front of people shows myself what I am capable of, because if I went back to who I was before theatre I wouldn’t have imagined I would be doing this right now.

Melanie Nassar-Guifarro - Bun Foo
Hi, I'm Melanie Nassar. I play Bun Foo in Thoroughly Modern Millie. I have also played a monkey, a tree, and a flower in The Wizard of Oz. In seventh grade I was one of the seven dwarfs and a judge in Law and Order: Fairy Tale Unit, and I was also in the school chorus group. Outside of school, I have been playing piano for 5 years. From being a person with not many lines to many lines in Chinese it's been pretty hard to adjust. Learning the Chinese is pretty tough at first but with practice it's gotten easier to learn. It's also been a fun experience because I get to sing as well.

Dahna Buheis - Miss Flannery
Hi, my name is Dahna! I’m just your average girl that loves to meet new people. I’ve been singing since I was a young girl and I’ve had a passion for acting for an even longer time. In my free time I love to edit, practice photography and, of course, sing. I have absolutely no dancing experience, so it was a lot of fun to learn it for this musical. I’ve loved theatrical arts for such a long time, and this musical made me love it even more.

Trinity Stricker - Rita |
Ashly Arias-Lopez - Ruth |

Olivia Auletta - Gloria |
I’m Olivia and I play Gloria in Thoroughly Modern Millie. I was in 101 Dalmatians, Willy Wonka and Dear Edwina back in elementary school and The Wizard of Oz earlier this year. I have done cheerleading since I was 6, but have still always been quiet at school for the most part. I love this drama class because everyone is friends and there’s no judgement, and I don’t have to be as shy as usual. I think it’s a great and fun experience to be a part of the musical this year.
