An Open and Shut Case Cast

12th Grader: Sam Weiss is a Senior 4th year student of PCA theatre. He has been in many shows with PCA from online shows in his freshman year like Help Desk where he was a “helpful” clown, to in-person shows like last year’s Little Shop of Horrors where he was Seymour Krelborn. Sam Weiss is sad that this is his last production with Mrs. Fletcher as the director, but he is ready to “do” what he has to “do” in PCA Theatre’s production of An Open And Shut Case.

9th Grader: Jayda Bridgett is a 9th grader at Richland Northeast High School. This is her theater performance that isn’t a musical, so this is definitely something she’s not used to. Nonetheless, she was able to get the hang of everything that’s been thrown at her, and she’s been a great asset to the cast. Her previous and very first performance was in her 8th grade year, when she played Gabriella Montez in “High School Musical Jr” at Longleaf Middle School. She’s loved theater since then, and she looks forward to upcoming productions in the future.
