Tiffany Bennett
(She/Her)
In a shocking turn of events, it has been revealed that Tiffany Bennet, senior at Langley High School, has been lying to us all. While some assumed her to be blonde after starring as Ms. Hubbard in Langley’s Production of Murder on the Orient Express, and others assumed ginger during rehearsals for Freaky Friday, we have recently been informed that her natural hair is, in fact, brunette. Despite her innumerable lies and half-truths, she has (allegedly) been involved in theater for about ten years, both in and out of school. After featuring in her breakout role as Donkey from Shrek, Tiffany has continued her theater career in shows with roles such as Clopin in Hunchback of Notre Dame, Allie in Mamma Mia, and various other Saxon Stage Productions. She plans to continue pursuing the arts at UCF after graduation and looks forward to making her last show here at Langley a success, regardless of what color her hair may end up next.
Claire Stephenson is a senior at Langley High School and is thrilled to be back on stage for Langley’s first live musical in 2 years. They will be attending the University of Massachusetts in the fall to study Speech Pathology. Claire has been involved in musical theater since the 2nd grade and has been involved in 16+ musicals. Some of her favorite roles include Scuttle in the Little Mermaid, Finch in Newsies, and Pinocchio in Shrek. They would like to thank their Mom, Dad, and Brothers for dealing with all the late tech nights and being so supportive, and her Stage Door Fine Arts family in Illinois for teaching her to love theater. Miss you guys!!!! She can’t wait for everyone to see this amazing show and welcomes everyone back to the theater!

The Students
Eva Cardenas is a junior at Langley High School and this is her eighth show at Langley (including online). Previously this year, she was props master for the fall play and she drew inspiration for her character from that experience. She's glad she gets an excuse to fix things so they are symmetrical on stage without being told not to. Whether it's folding napkins or geeking out over organizational tools she loves to do it with music. You'll usually catch Beach Weather, The Neighbourhood, Doja Cat, or Tove Lo in her earbuds. She also wants to thank her mom for picking her up from rehearsals even if the times changed and also for her patience with Eva's driving skills.
