Allie Bower- Actor
Hi! I'm Allie Bower, a senior at Wyoming, and I have been participating in theatre since I was in seventh grade. I love the theatre department at Wyoming, and I know my favorite memories of high school will be the musicals and plays I was in. My favorite musical to be in was Oliver, and my favorite play was The Crucible. Besides doing theatre I love to sing in the Cincinnati Girls Choir, volunteer, and read. I know that this year is going to be great and I can't wait to work with all the great people in the department again!

Ana Bucki- Tech
This is only my second year involved with the drama department at Wyoming High school, but I've really enjoyed building and painting with my fellow crew members and friends. If time allows, I hope to pursue this in college maybe working with a small company near campus, but it's definitively an environment I wish to further surround myself with. I want to thank everyone who helped make these shows so much fun while productive, and to my little artist guild for which we have yet to perform the commencement rituals, and thank you especially Itzel for after months of insisting you finally convinced me to join.
