    CHASE SPILLERS

    as Charlie Cowell

    Chase is a 17 year old Junior at Minden High where he is the Crimson Tide mascot. He is a member of First Priority, The Nature Club and the Talented Arts Program. Chase's hobbies are drawing/painting, archery, shooting, and SCA (Medieval dueling). He loves music of many genres but, his favorite is Frank Sinatra. This is Chase's 4th Dinner Theater. His favorite memories from this experience is the mission trips he was allowed to attend. From flying for the first time, visiting the Smithsonian Museum, the horror of the Holocaust Museum, seeing the mountains of Colorado and the beauty in Alaska. But, what affected him the most was meeting a homeless man in Washington D.C. and hearing his stories and meeting a sweet family in Alaska that made him an honorary member of their tribe and gave him the name "Sunshine". He still keeps in touch with this family and is thankful to the Church for allowing him to be part of this wonderful ministry.
