Meprises Cast

John Paul is a senior at The Heights and has attended since third grade. He is excited to be going CUA next fall, majoring in the wonderfully practical field of philosophy. His interests are many and varied, but he is most fond of adrenaline-inducing sports such as cliff jumping, trampolining, snowboarding, and growing his hair out as long as he can without Mr. Royals calling him out. He also enjoys eating food, rock climbing, and playing wordle. At this point he has been entirely consumed by the malady commonly known as senioritis, thought to be transmitted by the deadly dihydrogen monoxide.

This will be Salvatore’s fourth Heights production, and he is more excited to perform than ever! He has previously acted as Juror 9 in “Twelve Angry Men”, Berowne in “Love’s Labours Lost”, and the Grandmaster in “Something Extraordinary”. I’m his spare time, he enjoys hanging out with his friends and rueing the day.

Logan Austin is a senior currently in his senior year. In his free time: badminton, and also space. The number is 4, and he’s okay with that, including Graham and Love’s Labors Lost. Tambourines are the alarm bells of heaven.

Max is a senior and preparing for the University of Dallas. He was Knowledge in last Spring's production and Watson in Graham, our Fall production. He enjoys playing rugby for the first time and is somehow all caught up in War and Peace.

In his free time Daniel enjoys creative writing, sketching, and reading.

David does things sometimes. He finds this almost as fascinating as his appearances as a policeman in Love's Labors Lost and Sir Alistair Frogwallis in Something Extraordinary. News of his Tony Award nomination is forthcoming. Look for him near the lunchroom at lunchtime.

Erick is currently in his freshman year. A lifer, it is his first time to perform in a play. When not in the Library, under the watchful eye of the Admiral, Erick may be found on the piano at the music palace, the weight room, or running track for J-Money.
