My name is Evelyn Washburn and I am going into my junior year of high school. I’ve been a part of Creative Drama/Prop and Scenery since I was ten years old, and this is my third year as faculty for all three of our drama programs. Currently, I attend Middleton High School and work for the Performing Arts Center as a student technician, and the student head of lights for MHS Theatre. I’ve been so incredibly fortunate to see how this program has progressed and all that it’s done for our young actors. We’ve got an amazing group of kids this year… We can’t wait to show you what they’re made of. :)

Howdy! I'm Evelyn Anderson. I am stage managing the Creative Drama program and helping to lead Drama in the Park. This is my ninth year being a part of the Creative Drama program, and my fourth year working with Middleton Parks & Rec's theatre programs. This past year I was a senior at Middleton High School, where I was a Theatre Officer. Next year I will be a freshman at Brown University, where I will be studying engineering and participating in Brown's theatre program, Ensemble! My all-time favorite part of this process is seeing the kids make connections with each other through theatre and watching them grow as actors and people. Everyone, please come watch the show! :)

Hello! My name is Gabby Hellmer! I have worked the creative drama program for 3 years now. In total, I have been doing the props & scenery class, as well as the creative drama class, for a total of 6 years. I have also been involved with Stage Crew and Stage Managing with Middleton High School theater for over 3 years. I am a student at Middleton High School and will be a Senior this coming year. I am excited to be a part of the program for this year and see how all the kids can step into their individual characters and have fun doing so.
