Our final post before our 2pm Sunday performance.

The 'behind-the-scenes' ladies:

Paige Hetherington brings quiet leadership to Whole Latte Love, taking care of props, costume notes, and countless small tasks that make a big difference. She’s dependable, thoughtful, and always willing to help—qualities that make our entire production stronger.

Natalie Price designed the overall look of the show and pulled almost every costume from our own storage to match her original concept. She practiced basic sewing skills, helped organize props, and made sure every actor had the right pieces and sizes. Her eye for detail shaped the entire visual style of Whole Latte Love.

Final round of cast members! We open tomorrow at 2pm!

Alexis Smus makes Paula both strong and relatable. Her attention to detail and growing confidence shine through in every scene.

Rhys Ward mixes comedy and intimidation perfectly as the Loan Officer Bodyguard, while also understudying Wendell and Brandon. That’s range, and he absolutely nails it.

Liz Wax gives Ann bold, memorable energy while also understudying Thelma. She’s dependable, expressive, and brings strong commitment to every rehearsal.

Elijah Wrubel grows stronger in Dalton’s role every rehearsal. He’s basically a theatre video-game character leveling up in real time.

Third round of cast members! Whole Latte Love performs this Sunday at 2pm in the JSH Auditorium!

Maggie Peterson makes Michelle bold and memorable, turning a once-minor role into a standout moment. Plus, as the understudy for Isla, she balances two tracks like a pro.

Mylee Reed gives Edith heart and gentle humor. Her confidence keeps growing, and somehow she still manages to steal scenes softly.

Samantha Ryan adds warmth and personality as an ensemble Coffee Shop Goer, and her thoughtful preparation as the understudy for Vivian makes her essential to the cast.

Natalie Schrock brings spark to Thelma and shows impressive detail as the understudy for Paula. She’s thoughtful, prepared, and always ready.

Jace Smit plays Brandon with natural ease and solid timing. He’s put in the work—and it shows every time he steps onstage.

Next group of cast members!

Marie-Sophie Haspel captures Kelsey’s cool, standoffish vibe perfectly—something not every actor can pull off! She’s been focused and committed all semester, and it shows in every rehearsal.

Jasmine Jeltema helps build the world of the show as an ensemble Coffee Shop Goer. As the understudy for Kelsey, she brings determination and expressive storytelling.

Josephine Keller brings such a warm, grounded energy to Isla. Watching her confidence grow has been a highlight—she’s basically the emotional espresso shot of the show.

Rowan Newcomb brings thoughtful energy (and just the right sass) to Vivian. Her smart choices keep giving the character new life.

Irelynn Pachulski tackles Shelly with enthusiasm and fearless humor. Her sense of timing brings the perfect spark to the character, and her energy makes every rehearsal better.

It's almost show time so I'm sure you know what that means! It's time to meet the cast!!! Curtain goes up on Sunday at 2pm!

Katie Anderson adds life to the ensemble as a Coffee Shop Goer, and her focus as the understudy for Edith makes her a quiet powerhouse onstage.

Seth Backstrom brings charm to Wendell and full commitment to every rehearsal. His ability to stay straight-faced when chaos erupts? Legendary.

Israel Cahill plays James with charisma and quick wit. As the understudy for Dalton, he stays ready at all times—no panic, just smooth confidence.

Samara Chadderdon gives great reactions as an ensemble Coffee Shop Goer, the kind who definitely overheard the drama. Her understudy work for Shelly is steady and impressive.

Isabella Cochran gives the Landlord’s Assistant tons of personality and learns lines faster than most people order coffee. Her work as the understudy for Michelle is just as strong.
