Members

Eli Forster, Sam Craig, Si Crowel

Sophomore Eli Forster’s favorite theatrical
performances include You're a Good Man, Charlie
Brown, The Wind in the Willows, and The Phantom
Tollbooth. His favorite scene in Our Town is when
Sam Craig and Joe Stoddard are talking; and he has
particularly enjoyed learning the grammar of
speaking with a New Hampshire accent. When he
isn’t on stage, Eli enjoys reading. He thanks “Mr.
McKenna for putting up with all us teenagers and
two grammar schoolers.”

Daniel Frank, Professor Willard, Farmer McCarty, Man in the Auditorium

A junior at MHA, Daniel Frank’s favorite roles have
been Father Christmas in The Lion, the Witch, and the
Wardrobe, the Minister of Meaning in The Phantom
Tollbooth, and a chorus member in Fiddler on the
Roof. He hopes you enjoy the scene in which the
Professor gives a scientific overview of the town and
its history. Through this show, Daniel has learned
“there are no small parts, only small actors.” In his
free time, Daniel can be found writing at his desk at
home. “Many thanks to Mr. McKenna for his work
directing and overseeing the production of the play.”

Emily Frank, Mrs. Soames, Lady in the Box

Emily Frank, a sophomore, has delighted audiences
in numerous roles, including Woodstock in You're a
Good Man Charlie Brown, Lucy in The Lion, the
Witch, and the Wardrobe, and the Gate-Keeper, the
Weatherman, and the Dodecahedron in The Phantom
Tollbooth. Through Our Town she has learned “there
really are no small parts, only small actors.” Offstage,
you can find her reading or playing violin. Emily
extends heartfelt gratitude to her mom for her
tireless work on costumes and Mr. McKenna for directing the show.
