She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Biology and Religious Studies from Connecticut College and a Master of Education in Secondary Education from Providence College. Thanks to everyone who has been involved with the show, both on and off the stage!

Alexa Lerner, a senior, is excited to be part of her 14th Oakcrest theatre production. She performed onstage in "The Velveteen Rabbit," but found her love for theatre backstage. Alexa’s roles have encompassed all aspects of production, including set painting, choreography, directing, and stage management. She is often the person providing snacks to the cast during rehearsal. In her limited free time, Alexa enjoys spending it with her family and watching superhero movies.

Teresa Reilly is a sophomore and has helped out with the middle school and high school productions at Oakcrest for the past three years. Last year she participated in the ensemble of James and the Giant Peach. In addition to theatre, Teresa enjoys playing soccer, going on hikes, traveling, and spending time with friends and family. Teresa is excited to see the final production of Antigone because the cast and crew have been working extremely hard for the past few months.
