Logan Howard is a Junior who loves being dramatic in the best (and worst) ways. Performing in these productions is always a big deal and a ton of fun. Besides this, he loves playing in the marching band and concert band. Logan is a part of NHS, FBLA, and SADD. After school, Logan’s hobbies include gaming club, art club, reading, listening to music, dancing in the mirror, and singing in the shower. Logan has participated in previous shows such as a seahorse in “The Little Mermaid” and Tommy Djilas/Olin Britt in “The Music Man”. This year, he is taking a far more prominent (and albeit stressful) role as Nathan Detroit, a good-hearted gambler and craps game organizer who could never hit the bigtime. He loves Adelaide, but cannot quit his gambling ways. A broke schemer with unwitting ways. Please join us this weekend for three exciting performances of Guys & Dolls!  Friday, March 28, 7:00pm Saturday, March 29, 7:00pm and  Sunday, March 30, 2:00pm Get your tickets at http://shsmusical.booktix.com or at the door $12-adults $10-student/seniors (55+) Hope to see you-curtains up!! Enjoy the show!!

Katherine Riley is a senior here at Sayre High School, starring as Adelaide in this year’s production of Guys and Dolls. Adelaide is the pretty, outspoken, stubborn fiancé of Nathan Detroit, and a lead performer at the Hot Box nightclub. She loves Nathan more than anything in the world and desperately wants to get married. Kate has performed in a few other musicals like Music Man (Mrs. Paroo), Little Mermaid (Arista/ensemble), Wizard of Oz (ensemble), and so on. Outside of drama, Kate is the social media officer for her class, vice president of FBLA, vice president of NHS, one of the chief editors in Tiny Mics, in the school’s chorus, on the student council, and works at our local movie theater. Next fall she is committed to Vassar College, where she plans to major in English.

This is Bella’s sixth and final performance at Sayre High School having done The Music Man (Marian Paroo), The Little Mermaid (Allana), Wizard of Oz (Glinda), Shrek (Teen Fiona), and Cinderella (Fairy Godmother).
