Ally O’Connor (Savannah)I am so excited to be back at Dramafun this summer! When I was younger, I spent many summers performing with a local theater in Plymouth in productions such as Beauty and the Beast, Charlotte's Web, and The Pilgrim's Journey. Those experiences helped me discover my love for performing and inspired me to continue building my confidence on stage.
Last summer, I performed in Willy Wonka through my town's theater program, and I recently wrapped up the role of Alex the Lion in Madagascar. Each performance has helped me grow as both an actor and a performer.
One of my favorite parts of Dramafun is learning new acting techniques, collaborating with other talented performers, and taking part in exciting productions. Last year, I had the opportunity to perform in 13: The Musical Jr. and Frozen Jr., where I learned so much and made wonderful memories.
This summer, I am thrilled to be part of the productions of Madagascar and Freaky Friday. As my confidence continues to grow, I hope to audition for even bigger roles in the future and continue enjoying theater for many years to come.
