Mitch (she/her) is so thrilled to be a part of another Renegade Theatre Production. She had so much fun as Rosie (u/s) and Ensemble in Cabaret just last year. She is also a film director and photographer based in the Bay Area who found the joys of theatre in 2023. Since then you’ve seen her in a few Cabrillo College productions such as SpongeBob the Musical as Electric Skate #2 and Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time as Siobhan. She is super grateful for spectacular space Renegade Theatre has established for new and seasoned actors and sharing the great joy and opportunities it brings to the Santa Cruz community.

Maeva Hughes (they/them) is beyond stoked to be in this production of Reefer Madness! This is their second time preforming in a Renegade production, the first was in She Kills Monsters as Vera Martin. They only recently started acting again after 7 years, it’s been such a joy to be on stage again! From being behind the scene doing random volunteer tech work to being on stage Maeva loves everything about theatre. They cannot wait for you to see this ridiculous, silly, absolutely wild show!

Angela Rangel is a current Theater Arts MA with a focus on directing at UC Santa Cruz. This is her second production with Renegade. Angela is excited to be working with a team of talented performers and dedicated creative team. Some of Angela's recent works include Our Dear Dead Drug Lord, She Kills Monsters, and Night of the Vampire Queen!

Sammy is beyond stoked for their first Renegade Theater show and grateful to be apart of the ensemble in Reefer Madness! As a local multi media artist, they’ve felt great joy exploring musical theater. Especially with such a welcoming, talented, vivacious group of folks!

Sage is excited to be transitioning from his first adult play, She Kills Monsters, straight into his first adult musical, Reefer Madness. Sage is the youngest in the cast (18 years old and still attends Soquel High-school) so there are some things in this musical that he isn't quite adult enough to be a part of. Despite the age gap between him and much of the cast, Sage has managed to find a wonderful community in Reefer Madness!
