Kaitlin Burton is a senior here at CHS. She has been a part of many different groups and activities over the past 4 years, including dance, cheerleading, and National Honor Society, but Clinton High School Theatre has been her favorite. It gave her the opportunity to use a French accent as Yvette in Clue, to be a fast dancing bully as a member of Savannah's posse in Freaky Friday, to dance like Jennifer Beals in Flashdance in an act in Ey-15, and to play the classic, annoying little sister in You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown. All her best memories of high school involve theatre, and one of her proudest accomplishments has been being President of Troupe #3151. Kaitlin is planning to enroll in the actuarial program at ISU next year and minor in theatre.

Fuka Fujishima has traveled from Japan to join theater for her year in Clinton. She previously worked with her Labo group in theater productions. She has worked in costumes, props, and tech in drama club in Japan. She is also a member of FFA and enjoyed playing powder puff football for the winning seniors. She plans on returning to Japan to finish school and then go to university to become a vet at a zoo.

Dennis Lux has been in theater since his sophomore year, first partaking in the 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. He very much enjoyed doing that show and played almost every minor role including Dan Dad, Leaf’s Dad, and Jesus, which was last minute, but a last minute decision that Dennis was very thankful for. Dennis does miss most of the people that he met in theater and will probably miss the people in theater now after he graduates. Dennis is currently serving as a co-treasurer in Thespian Troupe #3151 and was inducted as a Thespian his Sophomore year. After school Dennis plans on becoming a navy man and taking advantage of the system to pay for his college career in Naval architecture and maybe hopefully starting a family in the future. Dennis is very good at making jokes that never land except for on himself because he laughs at almost all of his own jokes, and he thinks sometimes that his hair makes him look like a human mushroom. Once Dennis retires he plans on becoming the coolest grandpa in the world and owning a quaint little cabin to turn to dust in.

Luis E. Mendoza Jr has been a part of every show even if not acting. He works his hardest on crew, his favorite being house crew. His favorite show was EY-15 because that would have been his first time ever on stage. EY-15 would go on to be canceled due to Covid-19. He was inducted into Thespian Troupe #3151 his sophomore year. Since then he has held two officer positions: Co-Treasurer and current Vice-President. He plans on going to U of I to study chemistry. He would like to thank his best friends and Lisa for making the last few years a memorable experience.

Throughout high school, Jocelyn got to be onstage in every theatre show except CLUE, Spelling Bee, and Charlie Brown, but she still had a lot of fun backstage. Her first role was being a part of Savannah’s posse in Freaky Friday which has got to be in her top three favorite musicals the high school has done. Her second role was in EY-15 which was sadly cancelled, but she wishes everyone could’ve seen how amazing it was. Later there was What I Want to Say But Never Will which was streamed online! Now, Jocelyn is so excited to perform EY-15! Oops I mean 16! Jocelyn is going to attend Heartland Community College to minor in Performing Arts such as dance, singing, and theatre and hopefully major in real estate then transfer to either U of I or UW Madison in Wisconsin. “I’m so grateful for everyone who has helped me on this long journey. I can’t thank everyone enough. A big thank you to Lisa as well for helping me find a huge passion for theatre. I’ll see you all soon:)”

Kairi has been a part of every show during their years in high school. She's played many roles, but her all time favorites have to be Mrs. Peacock in Clue, Logainne Schwartzandgrubeneirre in The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, Alan in What I Want to Say but Never Will, and Snoopy in You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown. Kairi was also a part of Freaky Friday, EY-15, We Can All Relate, and now EY-16. Kairi was inducted into Thespian Troupe #3151 her sophomore year, and she currently is the Artistic Director for the troupe. She was also given the opportunity to direct two, ten minute plays in the last show, We Can All Relate. Kairi’s had a pretty insane time in theatre, like when she broke Jonah Stauffer’s knee the day before the first showing of Spelling Bee, or when EY-15 got canceled the day before her first showing. Even though her theatre experience has been a crazy one, Kairi's had some of the best times of their lives here. Her favorite theatre moment was by far performing Spelling Bee at the Illinois High School Theatre Festival. Kairi has many people she needs to thank for her incredible times in theatre. Kairi would like to thank everyone who has come to watch her perform and supported her theatre journey. She would also like to personally thank Lisa and Lizzie for always being there to help when she truly needed it and being there for her every step of the way. She definitely wouldn’t be here without their support. Kairi is not 100% what she want to do with the future, but as of now she wants to go to Richland Community College for two years and then transfer to Western Illinois University to pursue Child Psychology. Once again Kairi wants to thank all of you for supporting her throughout her theatre journey; she will never be able to put into words how much she appreciates it.

Isaiah White has been part of theater for all four years of his highschool career. His favorite show was Clue, coincidentally the show he starred in. Isaiah has played several roles such as the butler Wadsworth, Pig Pen, and a homicidal child named Davey. Isaiah became a Thespian of Troupe #3151 his freshmen year. He plans to go to college but is currently undecided on where to go, thanks to Lisa taking up so much of his freetime. Isaiah wishes he could spend all of his time watching Batman TV shows and drinking Root Beer.
