Ted Schmitz
as Horace Vandergelder
I'm Ted, a senior and Student Body President here at WLA. You might recognize me as Max Dettweiler from The Sound of Music or more likely Lumiere, the candle from Beauty and the Beast. For all of you watching this excellent show, my character is far different this year. Horace Vandergelder is (in his own words) rich, friendless, and mean. I apologize in advance for my slightly sexist song, "It Takes a Woman." Just remember: I'm way nicer in real life! In my non-drama life, I sing in Traveling Choir and play football and baseball. I might do forensics too--I'm not sure yet. Anyway, from easily the most well-adjusted Schmitz child, enjoy what is, in my opinion, a fantastic show!

Samuel Schmitz
as Cornelius Hackl
Hi, my name is Sam Schmitz, and I'm Cornelius Hackl! As unfortunate as that may be for you guys, (and I apologize in advance) I am really excited to show all of you what we've all been working so hard on for many, many months. My general innocence and good-naturedness throughout the play, of course, matches me in real life, and I rarely cause trouble. I hope you enjoy the show!

Jonah Hinds
as Barnaby Tucker
Hi, I'm Jonah. I'm a senior, and very involved in activites at the academy! I'm in wrestling, track, Academy Kids, and the drama productions (obviously). Aside from school, I am a DJ at Matt's DJ service. I am Barnaby in Hello, Dolly! (my character fits my personality very well.) Although I'm a senior, this is my first drama production where I have a part on stage. If you saw Anne of Green Gables last year, every time the curtain opened/closed, that was thanks to yours truly! I hope you enjoy watching my comic relief in Hello Dolly!

Abby Schmitz
as Minnie Fay
Hello, my name is Abby Schmitz and I play the role of Minnie Fay in Hello, Dolly!
I am a sophomore, and I am involved in volleyball, softball, cheerleading, forensics, academy kids, all theatre, and traveling choir with no study hall... It gets hectic.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy the hard work we put into our production!
