Meet the Plastics!
Seniors Jadyn Schwartz and Aaralyn Gravagna join freshman, Tessa Marsico, in playing North Shore High’s plastics. Last year, in the Footlight Players production of Into the Woods, Jadyn was seen as Little Red and Aary played Jack’s mom. Tessa takes dance class at HHS and voice lessons outside of school. The three of them together make up North Shore High’s most judgemental and pink-loving group.
Meet the Dance and Debate Teams!
North Shore High’s most competitive groups, dance and debate teams, are made up of a mix of freshman, sophomores, juniors, and seniors. In real life, Naho plays saxophone in Harrison High School’s band. Julianna, Jessie, and Karinah take dance classes at HHS. Julianna is also the dance captain for the musical!

Meet the Mathletes!
Self-described as a “very chill, dope crew”, the mathletes are a mix of freshmen and seniors. Sofia Coimbra portrays the North Shore High AP calculus teacher and the advisor of the mathletes, Ms. Norbury. Ulysses Bravo Brown, who plays Kevin G, leads the North Shore High mathletes in all of their highly nerdy endeavors, and maybe a little partying (don’t tell Ms. Norbury!). Justin Suozzo plays the moderator of the mathlete’s competitions, which can get very intense with everyone’s love for math.
Meet the North Shore High Show Choir!
Senior Justin Suozzo joins Ella Zamek, Maya Rolan, and Sophia Campos in portraying the North Shore High show choir. All four of them participate in choir at Harrison High School. Additionally, in real life, Justin has attended All State for chorus–an incredible achievement as only the top singers in the state are accepted each year. This year, Ella and Justin also had the pleasure of attending Area All State.
Meet the North Shore Jocks!
Seniors Devin Vasilkioti and Ben Nelson join sophomore Elvis Njuguna in playing the North Shore High Jocks in Mean Girls. All three are athletic in real life and they take on this challenge of playing sports kids in theater with grace and athleticism. In real life, Devin has been playing soccer for most of his life and currently plays for the HHS Varsity team. Ben enjoys bouldering and rock climbing. Elvis likes to run and frequently hits the gym.
Meet the Band Geeks!
Senior Emily Caragliano joins Dylan Bouteneff and Rosella Paniccia in portraying North Shore High’s band geeks. In real life, Emily plays in the Harrison High School orchestra.
