Who's Who

De'Andre Birtha

as Aladdin

My favorite thing about being in a musical is collaborating with people and pretending I'm a character. Performing makes me feel confident. I like my role because it fits my personality and characteristics. I love UPCA because my old school did not have Dance, STEAM or Drama.
Chelesa Martin

as Genie

My favorite thing about being in a musical is that you can really get into your character. You have full control over your character. Performing makes me feel amazing, being on stage with all eyes on you. I like my role because I feel I can relate to the Genie. I'm extremely extra, and love to at least try to make people happy. The story of Aladdin is amazing! It's energetic and witty.
Sierra Richardson

as Iago

My favorite thing about being in a musical is trying to be the character, in my case, a bird. I say the lines at home and talk like a bird. I like my role because Iago is funny and weird like me, so I can be myself! The story of Aladdin is the coolest one to me. It shows us that girls are strong too. UPCA is a good school for young actors to learn and be in a play.
Keyshaun Ferguson

as Jafar

My favorite thing about being in a musical is singing. Performing makes me feel confident. The story of Aladdin is about romance and adventure. My time at UPCA has been phenomenal!
Destiny McManus

as Jasmine

My favorite thing about being in a musical is being able to put the emotions into a character. Performing makes me feel loose because I get to persue my dream of acting. I like my role because I get to play a princess, and I love princesses. The story of Aladdin is beautiful because Aladdin and Jasmine fall in love, and I think that is amazing.
