The Rocky Horror Show Cast

Taelor Adams is excited to be apart of Renegade Theater’s Production of The Rocky Horror Show! This will be her first production with Renegade and it has been a pleasure to work with all these lovely and talented people! Some of her other roles she’s done were Heather Chandler in Heathers the Musical, Ensemble in Grease, and Ensemble in Little Shop of Horrors! She hopes you give into the absolute pleasure of this show and enjoy!

Meli is simply stoked to be a part of her first Renegade production! You may have seen her shimmy in Cabrillo’s recent Fall and Spring Dance Concerts. Though she’s new to the theater world, she has quickly fallen in love with performing and is having a grand ol’ time. While she’s spent years cheering on her closest friends from the audience, this is her first time onstage since playing the White Rabbit in her sixth-grade production of Alice in Wonderland. She hopes you have a wicked good time interacting with our talented cast!

Kaylee is so jazzed to be doing her 5th show with Renegade! She’s been doing theater for 10 years now and absolutely loves the Santa Cruz Theater community. Her past credits include Evil Tina in She Kills Monsters (Renegade Theater Co.), Thea in Spring Awakening (All About Theatre), and Logainne in The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee (Milpitas Community Theater).

After a several years hiatus, Karen is returning to the stage for her first ever production with Renegade Theater Company. Karen spent the first part of her performance career living in San Francisco where she studied ballet and performed with Dancers’ Stage Company. Karen went on to study various styles of modern dance, belly dance, and ballroom, which she performed with California Contemporary Dancers, Horacio Cifuentes, and Dance Through Time. A highlight of her career was being selected to perform the world premiere of Les Noces, by choreographer Ralph Lemon, at the Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival. Karen’s interests expanded to include singing and acting which she studied at A.C.T’s Summer Training Congress, and later landed her a role in San Francisco City College’s production of Chorus Line. Karen’s disciplined dance training lent itself to her work as an art model, which she did while a student in the Arts for Social Change program at New College of California. Karen eventually shifted her focus to the study of psychology, and she now is a licensed psychotherapist with a private practice. Karen is thrilled to perform as Usherette in The Rocky Horror Show!

Greyson is stoked to be in his first Renegade production as Rocky! He’s loved getting to put this incredible show together with such talented people. Some of his favorite past shows include The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee (Panch), The Importance of Being Earnest (Algernon), and Peter Pan and Wendy (John); all through the Aptos High Drama Department. Grey is currently studying film at Cabrillo and looks forward to transferring next year. He’d like to shout out the entire cast and crew for being so supportive and making his first show post-high school such a positive experience.

Scottie is excited to be a part of his third production with Renegade Theater! Previous shows at Renegade include: Cabaret (Cliff us) and Heathers (Kurt’s dad and Veronica’s dad). Scottie is a theater teacher and director in Santa Cruz, with experience in behavior management and therapeutic crisis intervention. Scottie would like to thank his family, friends and his wife Kira for their support!

Eleven Turoff (she/her) is a recent Theater Arts graduate from UC Santa Cruz. She is quite excited to be playing Dr.Scott in Renegade Theatre’s production of the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Her recent acting credits at UCSC include the SpongeBob Musical (Patchy the Pirate/Old Man Jenkins), The Inspector General (Superintendent), Comedy of Errors (Courtesan), and She Kills Monsters (Farrah). This is Eleven’s second show with Renegade theater, following The Wolves last summer (#14).
