This is Olivia's tenth show at Ponderosa but her first time assistant directing! She's been a part of the cast and stage management team and is grateful for this new experience. She joined theatre in middle school due to her best friend who convinced her to sign up. Fast forward to now, she's happy she made that decision that forever has and will impact her life. She would like to thank Mrs. Diaz and Mrs. Sam for their dedication and passion for theatre and their students. Fun fact: in her fourth-grade spelling bee she misspelled "shark" as "schark" so she didn't have to be up on the stage any longer. At the next year's bee, she stayed home because she was magically "sick" the same day. Not as sick as she is now, she's much cooler and has gained the confidence to go up on a stage. "She remembered who she was and the game changed." -Lalah Delia

This year, she is excited to participate in the production and to bring her choreography skills to 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. She thanks her dog, Lilah, for supporting her in her days away, and she can't wait for the audience to laugh, cry, and spell with the cast!
