Love and Information Cast

Aaliyah is a creative who brings her unique life experiences to her art. Until moving to Seattle for high school, Aaliyah had the unique experience of living exclusively on islands - Sri Lanka, Singapore, Xiamen (China), and Whidbey Island, WA. She has defied convention in her schooling, spending her early years almost entirely outdoors, commuting by ferry to middle school, and sampling four different approaches to high school before ditching high school altogether in favor of Seattle Central College. Aaliyah is beyond grateful for the opportunity to work with the wonderful cast and crew of Love and Information. In particular, she wants to thank the Tuesday/Thursday group (a.k.a. the Wrang-Banglers) for being so supportive and welcoming, and Shelly and Abbey for being the best directors ever. She hopes you enjoy the show!

Adrian is grateful to work under the direction of Shelley Douma and alongside a dedicated cast and crew who contribute immensely to this creative experience.

His name is Francis Xavier St. Cyr, but you and everyone else can call him Francisco. Francis started acting in the late years of high school. He started with a few classes that involved technical work and acting work. Soon he got a role in the spring play of 2022 and fall play of November 2022. The first play Francis played in was called Pippin for the spring play. He would be a background character who not only danced but sang most of the songs with the chorus throughout the play. Soon after, Francis would go on to become a secondary character in the play Imaginary Invalid. Which involved a French patient being diagnosed by multiple doctors only to know he is very well, but his brother was not so well. Francis would play as the evil doctor who tricked the lead character the most, the doctor's name was Purgon. Francis soon started taking acting classes in college to pursue his dream of acting, voice acting, and story building.

Paul began his acting career doing Shakespeare (rather badly) in elementary school. While not performing in many plays, he has kept up and refined his skills by quoting films, developing witty comebacks, and voice-acting for the amusement of his friends. Finally returning to the stage after about 5 years away, Paul hopes to show you that he has not atrophied over time. He would like to thank his parents for both their support and love of repeating things from TV, his friends for their critiques and community, and anyone who he lost along the way. Well, what can we say about Paul? He is strong, he is loud, he is tall He messes with words Cause he likes to be heard And he never did play basketball.
