Other roles include: ‘Snoopy’ in Huronia Players YOU’RE A GOOD MAN CHARLIE BROWN, IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE: A RADIO PLAY and IT’S A WONDERFUL TURKEY (1 & 2). She was also Co-Vocal Director for a number of St. T’s musicals (2014-2020). She’d like to thank her friends and family for all their support – especially Jon for putting Melody and Sammy to bed every night.

Ava Beauchamp (Ensemble): Ava is super excited to be performing in her second production with GBMTC. Ava was an Ensemble character in GBMTC’s 2022 Production of BRING IT ON!.

She would like to thank her friends and family for all their amazing support! 

Dennis Bozek (Trent Oliver): First off, Dennis would like to be acknowledged as the assistant to the master builder :).  He has spent most of his life in the music scene and it all started with his solo act (d.boze) in his high school days with the assistance of the incomparable Shawn Mei Live.  Since high school, he has been on tour across the country. In Ontario he has toured from Thunder Bay to Midland and while in Thunder Bay, he went to Lakehead University in Thunder Bay where he studied civil engineering. This is his third musical with the GBMTC and he is excited to be back on the stage taking on the role of the handsome ‘Trent Oliver’. 

Carmele Coward-Mavrou (Ensemble): Carmele Coward-Mavrou is  a creative, passionate, and considerate 13 year old. She has been taking singing lessons with Victoria Thompson for many years and has participated in numerous music festivals.  Additionally, she takes improv lessons with Deanna Palazzo and dance classes at the Georgian Bay School of Dance. She has performed in multiple Drayton Entertainment productions including THE BUDDY HOLLY STORY and PETER PAN – THE PANTO! She recently graduated from Bayview Public School, and was honoured to represent her peers as the valedictorian! She is looking forward to attending GBDSS in the fall! She is so unbelievably excited to be working with the cast and crew on this, her first GBMTC production.

He has been the dance captain for the GBSD Men’s Dance Team for 10 years, including the 2023 competitive team which scored top awards in three of four competitions. He also started singing out loud in November 2023 and is a solid 4/10 free throw shooter. In preparation for the role of ‘Sheldon’, Stephen attempted to work at an actual PR firm, but those places have better security than you would expect. Stephen was designated Master Builder (not a LEGO™ reference) for the set of THE PROM, so if anything collapses he will probably claim that it was supposed to do that.

Although he’s still playing movie parts…one is coming up soon! But  he continues to come back to his first love, THEATRE.
