I am Addilyn Jagodzinske, and I am a freshman at Salina Central. I enjoy sewing and working with kids in my free time. When I do musical theater I gain important values, like confidence, trust, and self-love. Because of musical theater, I am able to express myself and get out my ideas. If I were a color, I’d be Cranberry because it is a warm smooth color and can look very nice and also simplistic.

My name is Kaity Geist and I am a 10th grader at Salina South High School. My extracurricular activities include choir, dance, working out, and school theatre. Through performing arts I’ve learned how I can be more aware of my emotions and then use them in performances. If I could be any color I would be Lavender.

My name is Gabriel Freeland, and I am a freshman at Salina Central High School. I love playing the guitar and reading lots of books. I think that music theater practice helps me grow to become a better performer and it teaches me what I can do to improve myself. If I were a color, I would be Sky Blue because it’s a very happy color and it fits with a lot of other colors.

My name is Jasper Carter. I go to Salina South Highschool as a freshman. I often participate in theater at both the high school and Theatre Salina. I enjoy drawing, acting, makeup, and lots of other things. The value I get from musical theatre practice is the mindfulness. I’ve become more sure of myself as an actor ever since I’ve joined Stage Door 1, and I hope I keep growing. If I were a color, I believe I’d be a calm muted green.

Hi!  My name is Katie Morgan and I am a freshman with Kansas Connections Academy.  Outside of theatre I dance at the Tamara Howe School of Dance and I like to crochet.  One thing I love about theatre is all of the friends and memories you get to have.  If I were a color I would be purple.

My name is Erin Dolezal. I am an 8th grader at Smoky Valley Middle School. I play the flute, viola, and baritone saxophone. I also participate in tennis and scholar’s bowl.

If I were a color I would be yellow because it reminds me of creativity and ambition.

My name is Hollis Murdock and I am an eighth grader at South Middle School. When I’m not at school or Stage Door 1, I enjoy dancing, hanging out with my friends, many different kinds of art, reading, playing guitar, and listening to music. I enjoy Stage Door 1 because it helps me regulate my emotions better and know how to deal with them, and how to use bad emotions for good. It also provides a healthy environment for learning different skills that can be used in and out of the classroom. If I were a color, I feel I would be dandelion yellow because it is a bright yet soft color and I am very happy and outgoing but also very mindful.
