Madison Smith

This is Madision's first time directing but not her first time in theatre. Madison has been in over 17 productions including Back Alley productions, Chattanooga Theatre Center, Closed Door Entertainment, Colonnade Players, and the Dalton Little Theatre. She loves to sing, act, and has enjoyed learning the ropes of directing. Thanks to Kaylee for the opportunity.

Keegan Westra

Stage Manager

The Great Gatsby reminds me of this“…For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride in possessions… the world is passing away…” (1 John 2:15-17) Through this show we see a world without God and our need for Him, and that’s my favorite aspect of it. I want to thank God, my family, cast, my awesome crew and especially Kaylee. Enjoy the show! #thanks24

Tommy White

Tommy White has been involved in community theater since high school and for the past five years locally. His contributions for this production include costume coordination, set building, and assisting the stage manager and directors. He wishes to thank everyone in the cast and crew for their spirit and enthusiasm. A special thank you goes to the Back Alley Production family for this opportunity.

Brandon Pearson

as Jay Gatsby

This is definitely not my first or last show with Back Alley. I want to thank Madison and Kaylee for the opportunity. Gatsby easily goes down as my favorite role I've performed up to this point. The cast and crew have been one of the best I've worked with by far and I'm blessed to be part of it.
