Ashlyn Okada

Hi! I'm in the 10th grade and this is my first year on Peninsula’s Crew. I have previous crew experience from my time at PVIS in middle school, and I've also participated in musicals in the past. Being on crew has quickly become a highlight of this year for me, allowing me to pursue my favorite activities such as building, painting, and decorating. Witnessing the set transform from nothing into a complete production is truly incredible. Beyond stage crew, I have a passion for robotics, drumming, and baking. I'm immensely grateful to my parents for not only chauffeuring me to all the crew calls but also for supporting my pursuit of engineering. I can't wait for you all to see the show, and I hope you enjoy it!
