Parker Bode

Parker Bode is currently in 12th grade and cannot express how excited he is to be back on the Genesian stage for his 3rd and final musical as an ensemble member for Barnum. Parker's last appearances on the Genesian stage were singing in the Geni Cabaret and in Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman when he portrayed the character Charlie. Parker would also like to give a very special thanks to Ms. Esh and his family for pushing him to do his very best in his craft.

Michael Brown

as Ringmaster/James A. Bailey

Michael is so excited to start his senior year at Rummel! He started his journey in Genesians during his 8th grade year and says he never would've imagined how far this club would've gotten him. He has worked all over the Genesian stage from Londoner Boy to Stage Manager to even leads in recent productions. Some of his most recent appearances at Rummel include How to Succeed in Business and Death of a Salesman with even later productions of Oliver, The Outsiders, Into the Woods, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Secret Garden, and Importance of Being Earnest; as well as Bye Bye Birdie, Little Mermaid, and Beauty and the Beast--all three at Rivertown Theatres in Kenner. Michael would like to give a huge thanks to everyone who has supported him along the way for they have helped teach him so much.

Gabriella Cipriani

Gabriella Cipriani is a senior at Archbishop Chapelle High School and is in her fourth year of Genesians. Gabriella has experienced many facets of being a Genesian. She has been a member of the crew, has been on stage, a runner, Props Mistress, and member of ensemble. Gabriella is sad to be seeing the end of her high school theatre experience but couldn't be happier to be spending it with the Genesians!
