Rishelle Serenity grew up on the stage, spending much of her childhood in theatre. She later moved to Los Angeles, where she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Acting from AMDA College & Conservatory of the Performing Arts. During her time there, she also discovered a passion for cinematography and photography.
Today, Rishelle Serenity channels her creativity and vibrant personality into personal passion projects and live streaming. Although based in Los Angeles, she is currently enjoying an extended stay in Flagstaff, where she is excited to return to the stage in The Grown-Ups.
Hannah Torromeo - Cassie

Hannah Torromeo is delighted to make her debut with Stargazer as Cassie in The Grown Ups. A longtime kid, she is excited to play the part of a “grown up” for the first time ever. She would like to thank the other camp counselors and Camp Director Amelia for making her first time back on the stage in almost a decade so fun and inspiring. She’d also like to thank her partner and her parents for their never-ending support of her creative endeavors.
Madison Nowland - Maeve

Madison is thrilled to bring Maeve to life on stage and would like audiences to know that she was very committed to eating every s’more at every single rehearsal. Previous accomplishments include surviving tech week, Miss Scarlet in Clue at Theatrikos earlier this year, and Amy in Simon’s list to Self Actualization. When not on stage, Madison can usually be found avoiding mosquitoes, overcommitting to group projects, and insisting she definitely could survive one night in the woods.
Alex Casady - Aidan

Well hey there, campers! This is my 3rd summer here at Camp Stargazer -- for some strange reason, I feel myself drawn to this place yet again. Perhaps it was my experience in Cub Scouts growing up or teaching full-time -- maybe a mix of both! Either way, it's been a pleasure working with this fantastic crew of counselors and our amazing camp director! This summer, I'm grateful for my wonderful, incredible partner Sasha for giving me the courage to do this whole theatre thing, and my parents, Sandra and Kevin, for being the loving, amazing people they are. Enjoy all the fun activities we have planned, and remember: don't stay up too late!
Charlie Commanda - Lukas

Charlie didn't send in a bio. Just know he's a cool dude.
Amelia Swann - Director

Amelia is excited to make her Stargazer directing debut and with such an incredibly talented and amazing group of people! She has previously directed and co-directed a number of local productions, including Blithe Spirit, Exit Laughing, Over the River…, Love, Loss & What I Wore, and most recently for the 2023 Northern Arizona Playwriting Showcase. She was last seen onstage as Frenchie in Stargazer’s production of Cabaret, Amina in Dance Nation, and Daisy in The Great Gatsby. Amelia studied theatre at New York University and the American Musical & Dramatic Academy and later earned an MA in History at Northern Arizona University. A heartfelt thank you to her beautiful cast for their kindness, passion, and patience. And much, much love and gratitude to her family: John, Graeme, and Susan.
