The Village School
Who's Who

Kaya Stanley
as Diana Goodman
Kaya Stanley stars in a student led production as the lead, this being her second big role after last year’s “Matilda”. Kaya has been acting since elementary school, but she recently got back into the arts during her junior year and she plans to pursue theatre in college. Her background of competitive dance has shaped her for this profession, and she has attended many camps and classes in New York City. She is grateful for this role and she is very excited to share the group’s hard work tonight!

Samuel Geetan
as Dan Goodman
Samuel is incredibly proud of how this production has come to be. From an idea he had one night to an incredible 6 month journey of nonstop work, to it finally becoming real. Samuel would first and foremost like to thank his parents Steve Geetan and Rosemarie Geetan for their incredible support. They handled the official founding and business aspects of the nonprofit, which allowed him to explore and develop the creative aspects. Project N2N is very personal to him as it exists to help people who go through similar struggles with mental health. He hopes this production and its donations to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention will help as many people as possible feel less alone. He directed, produced, and designed most aspects of the production. He would like to thank Ms. Catherine Thomas, all the people of Stages, Brima Conteh, the Gonzalez Family, and Bill DelBrugge. To his Auntie Annie, who passed away early this year, he misses you more everyday.
