Amrit Wanasundera (Editor)
Amrit came into PAVE not knowing he would make it in. With no prior acting experience and the only references being some very poor accents and imitations, Amrit really took this opportunity to grow not only as an actor, but as a person. Even though his senior year wasn’t what he anticipated, the fact that we got to put on an end of the year show made this year all the more exciting. A big thanks goes out to all of his PAVE teachers for building him into the specimen he is today.
Sofia Perez (Costume)
Has enjoyed all her years in PAVE!
