CAIT HAWES (DIRECTOR): After directing “Horse Girls” at the 2025 Fringe Festival, Cait decided to jump feet-first into the world of musical theatre direction. They are excited and appropriately anxious! While new to directing, Cait is no stranger to the stage. Favorite past roles include Mae (“Reefer Madness”), SQUIP (“Be More Chill”), Adult Woman (“Spring Awakening”), and Sherrezade (“Twisted”). They would like to thank her family&friends for all their support. A special thank you goes out to her husband for always being her rock. 1001 Nights wouldn’t be enough!
