GRADUATING SENIORS
Samantha Brower-Drama was my main focus during high school, and I
loved it. Time flew by and I can't believe I'm a senior in my last musical it's
a bitter sweet goodbye, because there will be the absence of performing, but
I'm still looking forward to the experiences ahead of me. . I’m gonna miss
acting but I Love You.

School Drama Guild
On Their Successful
Performance of
GREASE
Daniel Burke Perez- What can I say about Nipmuc Drama? It’s been an
amazing four years. Without this drama program I wouldn’t have had the
chance to be a part of some great shows, or the chance to meet some of my
closest friends. Most importantly, without this drama program I would never
have learned how to rock a pair of heels and chanel blue #4.
Jesse Charpentier - Though my time with Drama has been short, I'm
endlessly thankful being given the chance to both explore a new passion,
grow close to an amazing group of friends.
Molly Craft- I have been doing drama with the Mendon Upton district since
the fifth grade. I've loved being a part of these productions and I hope to
continue theater in college. I love everyone here and I can't wait to come
back next year to see everyone and catch up. I just want to thank Mr. Lapete
for everything he's done for our program. You've really turned it around!
And a quick shout out to Mrs. Raymond who inspired my love for theater. I
hope you enjoy the show!
Matthew DeVane- This is my fourth year with the Nipmuc Drama Guild
and my second as Backstage Manager, and there is no other group to which I
would rather dedicate my time. I must admit that my job is not always easy,
what with the ruling my minions with an iron fist and all. Nonetheless, here
I remain, because the results are always worth staying for. This worthy
group of thespians always produces a magnificent show, and I am proud to
be among their number.
Kyle Gazoorian- Kyle is super excited to be in his first musical at Nipmuc.
His latest roles include Dauntless in Once Upon a Mattress, Jack/Jaq in Anne
Frank & Me, Leonard in the Big Bang Theory, and Horton in Seussical. He
would like to thank everyone who's helped make this production, and hopes
everyone enjoys the show!
Molly Gould- I'm blessed to have gotten the opportunity to work with the
multi-talented and endlessly patient Mr. Lapete and to have gotten the
support from my fabulous drama fam. Merci fam!
Christopher Howard- I can say, truly in all sincerity, that I know not where
my life would have ended up thus far if I had not joined the drama guild all
those years back. It was three, but who's counting? I guess I am. Counting
the years until I actually become the star that I have been destined to
become. After I graduate I hope to remain in contact with all of the friends
that over the years have become somewhat more of a family than friends.
We'll all go our own separate ways and become the people that we have
always wanted to be. If we reach for the moon, but miss, at least we can all
say we belong with the stars.
Molly King- I have briefly halted my voyage to become a princess in order
to be part of this musical. I have been a part of Nipmuc Drama for 5 years,
and the relationships I now have are worth putting off my hopes of becoming
America's next top Princess. I am honored to play Frenchy and the wigs that
I get to rock are such an added bonus.
Alexander McCulloch- Drama has been such an important part of my life
for as long as I can remember, and it has also become such an integral part of
my time at Nipmuc. Through drama, I have met so many great people who I
will miss more than anything. I think that some of my favorite roles that I
have played are Herr Zeller in The Sound of Music and the dragon in A
Twisted Fairytale. I could not have done any of this if I wasn't part if such an
AMAZING team!
Elena Morganelli- I joined Nipmuc Drama Guild as a junior, and I loved it
so much that I had to continue doing it this year. Being a dancer and Dance
Captain in Grease has been the best experience of my senior year so far, and
I hope to be able to continue doing drama when I go off to college. I would
like to say thank you to the cast for being so welcoming, to Mr. LaPete for
being an amazing director, and to Mrs. Tremblay for convincing me to join
drama last year!
Hannah Nielsen- Nailed it *new moon with face emoji*
Joe Corey- Abcdefghijklmnoqtvlop9753z now I know my abf's next time
won't you KOOL AID OH YEAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
Emily O’Connell- I have been a part of the Nipmuc Drama Guild family for
all four years of being here. Drama hasn't always been in the best shape but
Mr. LaPete has really brought this program to life. This family has meant so
much to me and I have made friendships and memories that I will never
forget.
Tom Jacques- This is my first year in drama, I don't know why it has taken
me so long to join. I've always appreciated the arts, so I believe I do belong
in this program and those like this. I regret not joining the guild sooner. Now
all I have left is my underwater sea monkey facility.
Elizabeth Manser- Hi everyone, thanks for coming to out show (and my
last musical at Nipmuc) I hope you all enjoy watching it as much as we’ve
enjoyed rehearsing and performing it!
Melanie Roy- After 6 years of drama, I can't believe this is my last show! A
big thank-you to all my crew and cast mates for making drama a wonderful
experience and a beautiful memory to cherish always! Love you all!
Ateha Bailly- Although this is my first and only show, it has been fun
working with the talented members of the drama department.
Sarah Prescott- I have never been so passionate about anything else in my
life as I am with acting. The stage is what I live for and Mr.LaPete and
Mrs.Tremblay have made my senior year absolutely incredible so far; I'm so
grateful for them. They have both become role models for me and I will not
forget them while I further my acting career in college. It's my lifelong
dream to one day get an Oscar or become as successful as Leo Decaprio,
either or hehehe. I've done backstage and acting and I know where my true
calling is. I've been blessed to be able to act with such gifted people. Some
of my peers are destined for success, and I hope to be right there with them.
The support that I have gotten from everyone is truly wonderful and I hope
that I can live up to my own expectations for myself. And I want to thank
every one of you for seeing our show and supporting us. It means the world
to me.
Myles Turner- Hey, I'm Myles and I can say I am proud to have been part
of the Nipmuc drama department for the past 2 years, and it's been fantastic!
In the past two years I have been a part of two one act plays and in the pit,
playing clarinet, for The Sound of Music and this past years musical Once
On This Island. This year will be my first year on stage for a musical and I
couldn't be more excited. So far, Grease has been an energy-draining, but fun
experience for me. I owe it all to all the great people in the drama department
and especially Mrs. Tremblay for encouraging me to pursue doing musical
theatre. I'll be sad to go, but drama has definitely impacted me and I will
hope to continue in college with it.
Sarah Tierney- iPad
Emily MacDonald- Even though I only just joined the drama guild last year,
I feel like part of the family. I was immediately accepted, and I never felt
unwelcome. I've loved every moment of being here, even through the crazy,
wild tech weeks. It has always been worth it in the end when I see the
finished product and the bonds that are formed between cast and crew alike.
PERSONAL MESSAGES
Great Job Vanessa and the entire cast and crew!
-The Shepherds
Melody Wiklund- Melody Wiklund is a senior in the ensemble. Grease is
her tenth production at Nipmuc and as always it's been a lot of fun. When not
doing drama, you can find her knitting in a corner.
Marquis Earl- Hi I’m Marquis Earl, this is my fourth year at Nipmuc
drama. I have been on the soundboard every play and I am sad to be leaving
next year. I’m glad to call the people in drama club my drama family <3
Good luck Sarah! Wish I could be there!
-Love Rachel
Good luck to the whole cast of Grease!
-The Egans and Anna
Good Luck Karley! You will do wonderful!
-Carly
So proud of you Sarah!
-Love: Mom, Dad, Aunt Sharyn
And Uncle Mitch
