MINOR HOLIDAYS Cast

Has been a dedicated student of Tony Savant's since November of 2017, and is overjoyed to be returning to the stage in another night of excellent theater. In his many years of study at the school, he has been fortunate enough to be involved in a great number of productions including "Welcome Home Soldier" and "All In A Day's Work", written and directed by Tony Savant as well as Lanford Wilson's "The Gingham Dog," also directed by Savant. Debuted a collection of his very own original works in a night of theater which he wrote, directed and acted in titled "Tales From Purgatory: Volume I." Is grateful beyond words to be sharing the stage with this ensemble of incredibly talented actors and simply can't express how happy he is to continue exploring the art of acting alongside some of his most devoted colleagues. He would also like to express his gratitude to the artists without whom this night would not be possible, Tony and Scott, whose unwavering commitment to the craft continues to inspire us all.

"Minor Holidays" marks Ms. Prado’s third stage production at Playhouse West-Philadelphia, where she has been a student for the past three years. She is delighted to be playing Amy Randall. Her previous stage work includes "Tape" and "Tales From Purgatory, Volume 1", a series of original one-acts. Has also helped write and produce films, most recently, the feature, "Between Peaks", and has a few more short films and plays coming up she is excited to be a part of at the PW-P Theater.

Makes his first stage appearance at Playhouse West-Philadelphia. Has been training at the school for over a year now and is very excited to get up on stage with his roommates and fellow classmates. Recently been chasing a filmmaking career, having created the feature film "Between Peaks", and shorts "Hold Onto Joy" and "A Call Away". Would like to thank Ed Aristone, who once said to him “Be careful, I think the acting bug has bitten you”. Fortunately he was right.

Is excited to be making her stage debut, alongside her fellow cast mates, in "Minor Holidays". Has been a student at Playhouse West-Philadelphia for two years. Participated in multiple Playhouse West "Scene Days". Has worked on multiple short films as both cast and crew, including: "From Now", "A Quart of Salt", "Luna", and more. Would like to thank her Playhouse West family for “keeping her sharp”. A ‘family’ she would have never met had it not been for the constant support of her actual family. This performance is dedicated to her late grandmother, Yvonne Carpenter, the most creative - and dramatic - woman she has ever known.
