IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER
"THE DIRECTOR" - Nick Apostolides
ALFONZO BELL
I had always been performing for friends and family, even making home movies with my siblings. I began taking it seriously back in 2016, attending the Performer's Studio Workshop in Tampa ran by Kathy Laughlin. It really opened my eyes and set me on the path to the world of acting and performance. I have mostly done student/short films and commercials, however, I am featured on a Tubi film called "Favor" and also recently wrapped on a series called "Line Em' Up" set to release this year. The escape and adrenaline rush you get from performing is what inspires me. I know I'm meant to be doing this because if I wasn't, I would feel incomplete. My favorite film is "Shawshank Redemption" and "Fargo" is my favorite TV show. My favorite song would have to be "Window Pain" by J. Cole.
CAROLINE CUTILLO
I'm excited to be part of the Stay Tuned production and cast! I began performing at age 5. I started with dance and by age 13, I was performing in musical theatre and film. Some of my past credits include the Orlando Fringe Production We Begin in a Tavern (Bard 3 and Heroine), Building a Shared Home (Assistant Facilitator/Ensemble), The Games We Play (Robin), Manor of Death (U/S The Entertainer) and choreographer of the Mannequin for UCF Celebrates the Arts Dance Concert. I have also done many film and television roles. I'm a recent graduate in BA Theatre Studies with a Dance Minor. Zendaya and Florence Pugh inspire me as actors and people. My favorite types of shows are mystery thrillers or comedies (currently Only Murderers in the Building and New Girl are my favorite shows). A favorite song to listen to is "Lemonade" by Rhianna. It gets me in the zone, makes me feel confident, and feel motivated for anything. It’s also one of my favorite songs to dance to and perform!
TIFFANY FORSYTHE
I began dancing at age 6 in Norfolk, VA at the Lakewood Dance & Music Center in the
production of “Swan Lake” and continued my training at Old Donation Center for the Gifted,
Governor’s School of the Arts, In The Spotlight School of Dance as a member of the Junior and
Senior Dance Company, and at Norfolk Academy under the close supervision of Elbert Watson,
a formal principal dancer of the Alvin Ailey Dance Company. Since relocating to Central Florida, I’ve performed with Disney Animal Kingdom’s Burudika Band and have also performed with dance companies including Moore Dance Project (Sacred Slaves Stories), Dawn Branch Works (Eden: A Modern Retelling of The Story of Eve and Journey: A Walk Through Faith) & Emergence Dance Company (Dream). Misty Copeland is my inspiration. My favorite film by far is the newest rendition of “The Color Purple.” My favorite genres of music are R & B, Reggae, & Soft Rock.
JONATHAN GARDON
I began performing in my freshman year of high school and haven't stopped since. I am inspired by strong mother figures, especially my own mother Evangelina Gardon. My favorite movie is Perks of Being a Wallflower. My favorite song to listen to is "Picture You" by Chappel Roan and my favorite song to perform is "Shallow" by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper.
JAI LOVE GARRIGA
I began my theatrical journey in 2014 and have been dedicated to the craft ever since, honing my skills throughout public school. My professional debut was as Martha in “The Miracle Worker.” I’ve also performed as Shirley in “Disaster! The Musical” and as a Featured Ensemble member in “RENT”. I’m inspired by all of my mentors, but my favorite musician is Alanis Morissette. I love action-fantasy shows like “The Umbrella Academy” and pop-rock songs like “It’s My Life” by No Doubt.
ANASTASIA GOEBEL
​I have been performing since around 10 years old! We moved from Homosassa, Florida to a small town in the middle of Washington State. They happened to have a phenomenal community theatre, and after involving myself in a few local productions, my love of theatre and music grew in a big bad way! It was so fascinating to see so many people from all different lives come together to create something. What inspires me are people who do not let their past or fears define them or hold them back from pursuing their dreams and passions. As a musician, I really love movies that have phenomenal film scores. Pirates of the Caribbean, How to Train Your Dragon, and the Harry Potter series are just a few examples. I could watch these over and over for the music alone! I love listening to anything by Queen or Dave Matthews. Coming from a Jazz background, my favorite song to perform is probably Natalie Cole's Orange Colored Sky.
