I’m so glad our paths are crossing - I’m Connor, a spirited, triple-threat, theatre creator, whose dreams of performing have brought me from California to New York. I found my spark as self-taught tap dancer - mimicking my MGM heroes, Gene Kelly & Fred Astaire. Since then, rhythm and dance have shaped my life. I rung in 2024 making my New York Theatre Debut in the regional premiere of Anastasia at White Plains Performing Arts Center. In addition to performing, I am an aspiring director/choreographer - serving as associate choreographer for multiple collegial productions helped me realize my love for storytelling and refine my skills in collaboration. I hope the passion and joy I infuse into my art inspires others to do the same. When I’m not performing you’ll find me out in nature, soaking up the sun in a hammock with my friends. One day I am going to accomplish my goal of backpacking across North America… that would make a good musical, no one steal that. Do I have you hooked? Let’s take this over to my website!

Hello! I am Maggie Dzina! I am a dancer, singer, and actress originally from Dallas, TX. I started dancing with Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders icon Kitty Carter, and spent two years performing with the Dallas Youth Repertory Project. I attended Booker T. Washington HSPVA for dance and eventually found my love for musical theater during my high school years.  Off the stage you will find me taking spin classes, trying new restaurants (I’m a huge foodie), skiing, and thrifting. I plan to reside in New York City directly upon graduation.

Hey there, I'm Elizabeth Fox! I was born and raised in Berlin, Connecticut with my parents and big sister. I will graduate in the spring with a Musical Theater Major and Business Leadership Minor.

Hey friends! My name is Kate Heffernan (she/her) and I’m an ambitious triple threat from Buffalo, NY. Go Bills! I am a driven performer who firmly believes in the phrase “Everything Happens For a Reason.” I got my start in musical theatre at the age of four, screaming my little face off to “It’s a Hard Knock Life” from Annie. Outside of performing, you can find me weight lifting at the gym, being a HUGE Disney adult, or cooking/baking up something delicious.

Hello! I am Claire Kennard, and I am a performer, choreographer, dance teacher, and certified group fitness instructor originally from the great state of Kansas.

Whether I’m out and about or cuddling up on the couch with my pup, I enjoy surrounding myself with people that have my cheeks sore from joy and laughter. 

Hey everyone, my name is Madalyn Montgomery! I’m a fierce little nugget on and off the stage with a bubbly personality that is contagious. I found my passion for the Performing Arts while tapping my heart out in a Christmas Story, the Musical at theREP in Albany!

When off the stage you can find me playing competitive games of Skip Bo, going on hikes, traveling or obsessing over anything Disney.

Hey folks, I’m  Jacob Wadstrom! I’m a proud and strong musical theatre performer with a love of all things Shakespeare. Growing up in Roanoke, Virginia, I found my love of theatre when I saw how it opened up a gateway to far off places with stories that both transport and resonate with people anywhere in the world. At Nazareth, I have only continued to discover myself through the work and I am so excited to be able to share the joys of theatre to so many new faces. When away from the stage, I can be found in the gym, reveling in nature or at your closest bar playing Liverpool FC games!

Both legit and contemporary works excite me, and I have a special fondness for anything by Sondheim.

Hi everyone! My name is Reese Stojanovski. As an Aries, I am as fiery as my fake red hair, and I have been dancing and singing before I could walk or talk. When I’m not onstage, I am probably busy with working on my makeup artistry, songwriting, listening to Harry Styles, or analyzing horoscope charts. I love literature and I’m a huge Shakespeare nerd. I also love any chance to talk about Marvel theories over a few iced chai lattes or bottomless margaritas.

Hello hello hello! I grew up in a small town outside of Watertown, NY. Growing up in a place where my differences were not always celebrated, it is my goal in life to create safe spaces for others. I love the idea that for 2 hours audience members and performers alike can leave behind their problems and find connections in someone else’s story. When I am not performing, you can find me watching RuPaul’s Drag Race, reading a good book, or listening to Renaissance by Beyonce. After graduation, I plan on moving to the city with the goal of providing an outlet for others through performance.

Andrew Wicklum (he/him) Hiiiii, I’m Andrew! I found my love for theatre while growing up in Augusta, Georgia. At Naz, I have been able to refine my craft and redefine what kind of artist I want to be. I take pride in my leadership skills and growth oriented mindset. In my spare time you will probably find me trying something new, shopping at a vintage clothing store, or enjoying the outdoors with my camera close by. I am thrilled to continue sharing my passion and drive with the theatrical community outside of Nazareth once moving to New York City after graduation.
