Maggie Munoz (Lotty Understudy)is a lifelong fan of theatre returning to the stage for the first time since high school. She loves all things musical and acting related, but especially appreciates the community theatre builds. She is grateful to perform in her first APOD production, and hopes to continue performing on stage in the upcoming years. In her free time Maggie is often spotted with a book in her hands, at the Kenworthy watching movies, or with her cat Kiki.
Allie Erber (Rose Arnott)joined APOD this year as Golde in Fiddler on the Roof and is back for more! She was in several British stage plays before having children and is excited to be up there with an English accent again (as long as no real British people are in the audience to notice the many imperfections). Her daily life is spent making a home with her husband Jonathan and her four young daughters, as well as teaching elementary music to homeschool students. She hopes you enjoy the wit, charm, and depth of Enchanted April.
John DenHerder (Mellersh Wilton)has developed an appreciation for live theater, watching both of his children in several middle and high school productions. Inspired by their courage and enthusiasm for acting, John has recently become involved with community theater. This is his first production with APOD and he has had a blast working with and learning from the small village it takes to put it together! John is a veterinarian at WSU, and when not tending to animals there, he enjoys time with family and friends and exploring the Palouse with his enchanting wife.
