Leo Harris, Troupe 775, Sildell High

Hello! I'm Leo Harris from Troupe #775 of Slidell High School. I’ve been involved with theater since the 5th grade when my passion truly sparked, and plan to continue to spread passion and share my spark for years to come. My values include inclusivity and encouragement so that I can help shape a community where everyone feels like they are not only welcomed, but belong. I am thrilled and honored to be able to give back to a community that’s helped me discover who I am today, and hope I can do the same for others!

Maya Morel, Co-Chair, Troupe 7313, Hahnville High School

Hello! My name is Maya Morel, and I am from Hahnville High School’s Troupe 7313. My passion for all things theatre started in 2nd grade and has shaped me into the person I am today! In high school, I have learned the skills of comedy through roles like Frozen’s Olaf and Beauty and The Beast’s Lefou as well as the art of silence with the role of Betty Paris in The Crucible. Later in life, I hope to pursue theatre education and become a role model like my theatre teachers are to me.

Emma Butters, Co-Chair, Troupe 8387, Christ Episcopal

My name’s Emma Butters, I’m on the arts pathway at my school and am very involved in my school community. In theater I tend to be more of a techy but I like to take on minor roles in our plays. I’m currently Cynthia in Murder is Bad but Monday Can Kill You. I intend to go into set design as my career in the future. I have a dog named Lulu and a snake named Mawce, I buy more books than I can read, I work at Chuck E. Cheese, and my favorite activity is hanging out with my friends :)

Lauren Loris, Troupe 2075, Mt. Carmel Academy

Hi! My name is Lauren Loris and I am a sophomore at Mount Carmel Academy. My favorite show I have ever been in is SIX the Musical and I played Anne Boleyn. Being in productions has been such a beneficial outlet and has helped me grow, and I hope to inspire others to do so as well. Outside of theatre, I love to read, get coffee, hang out with my friends, and give back to my community in various ways. I plan to ensure that all Thespians can feel safe and loved and can enjoy the magic of theatre as much as I do!
