The Virtual Family Cast

Brianna L (Mom)
Brianna is super psyched to be participating in “The Virtual Family!” When Brianna isn’t practicing, you can find her singing, reading, hanging out with friends and family, or talking about Broadway musicals. Her favorites include: "Mean Grirls," "Legally Blonde," and "Hamilton." She hopes you enjoy the show!
Ava W (AALIX)
I've always loved musicals and plays and I always loved to try and be in one. In 4th grade we put on a “Wild and Wacky Winter” the songs were really good and that was my first chance to actually perform. Last year I played Chester in “A Murder Most Fowl” and I loved the character, and it was really fun. This is my second play at HBMS and I loved making this performance. AALIX is a really good character and is really fun to play, I think people will like it.
Matthew D (Dad)
Matthew DiPalma is an 8th grader at HBMS and is very excited to be in his first virtual production. He has been in around 20 live productions before that. His hobbies are jamming out to musical songs and reviewing movies. He plays the Dad in this production of "The Virtual Family" and hopes you enjoy the show.
Emma P (Grandma)
Emma has been in numerous plays and musicals before. She loves art and acrylic painting. She also loves doing diamond art. Her favorite musical is “Hamilton”.
Fionntán M (Son)
Fionntán (Finn) is an eighth grader at Hollis Brookline Middle School. "The Virtual Family" is his third theater performance, and he is thrilled to be doing shows again. His past two shows were the musical, Disney’s "The Little Mermaid Jr." and the play, "Murder Most Fowl". In his free time, he enjoys art, playing trumpet and piano, and playing board games with his family. Some of his favorite musicals include "Waitress", "She Loves Me", and "Bonnie & Clyde".
Shelby K (Daughter)
Shelby is so excited to be a part of the play. She has done a couple of plays when she was younger but then took a break when she moved to New Hampshire from Texas. Shelby has loved this experience to be in a real online production play. She likes to play volleyball, and dance. Shelby would like to thank all of her family and friends for giving her the courage to perform!
Audrey O (Cat/Kitten)
Audrey is so excited to be a part of "The Virtual Family" and has had a lot of fun with the performance! This is her first play at HBMS and she will be playing both Kitten and Cat. She thinks it’s cool that the performance is going to be off of Zoom and can’t wait to see how it turns out! In her free time she loves to draw, and be on the phone with her friends. She has had a great time being a part of this show and would like to thank everyone who is a part of it with her!
Anya Z (FAB)
This is Anya’s first production with HBMS. Anya has been dancing since she was four and has been competing since she was six. Some of Anya’s favorite musicals are “Mean Girls”, “Heathers”, and “Hamilton”. Anya is thrilled to be a part of The Virtual Family!
Angela E (Bob-B)
Hello P.E.O.P.L.E.S! (if you’re not a person or human hello to you too, this is a judgement free zone so be who you want to be!) This is Angela’s second play at HBMS. She is a competitive swimmer for YMCA Nashua Storm. Angela also enjoys bringing attention to social problems in society and baking as her coping mechanism. She has been in other shows, such as "The Wizard of OZ" and "Madagascar: The Musical"; yep that's a thing. Her highlights include: getting murdered with a rubber chicken, tearing off the scarecrow's arm and swinging it around, hitting Finn (Son) on the head with a soda bottle, and being a mean lunch lady who threatened people with a rolling pin. Angela is so excited to play a robot vacuum with personality because that's not creepy at all. Since this is a show, I would like everyone to silence their cell phones and bring a few snacks, just don’t get that many crumbs on the floor. I don’t want to pick that up. Chile Anyways, Enjoy the show!

Hello, my name is Elsie. I am a 7th grader. My favorite things to do are listen to music and train my pet parrotlet, Quito. I LOVE puns and all jokes. I am the toothbrush in this play and I love that I get to say a pun joke as the toothbrush! I hope you enjoy watching.
