Jen Brown is excited to be working with Ovation Theatre Company. The arts have been an integral part of her life for as long as she can remember. She has studied music and dance in Albany, NY and at Brigham Young University. She has also sung with choral groups in New Hampshire and Massachusetts. Most recently, she was the Music Director for the Matthew Thornton Drama Club for seven years where she helped to produce musicals including Disney’s The Lion King Jr., Annie Jr. and G2K The Sound of Music. Music and the arts have the power to teach people so much about themselves. Jen is thrilled to share her love of music with the Ovation family.

Mari is very excited to be working with Ovation Theatre. To be working with Meg and Kevin as directing team again is always a pleasure. They are definitely a Tiger Team. She appreciates and loves them both. When Mari is not doing choreography she is a special educator at Jewett Street School, and she teaches various styles of dance at Dimensions in Dance in Manchester NH. She is also the resident choreographer for the musicals at the Derryfield School. She is thankful for her husband Ross who is always a great support to all her endeavors, and her daughter Chlöe who helps whenever she can. Much much ❤️!

She has worked with youth and community theatre groups throughout southern New Hampshire as director, choreographer, and dance captain for various musicals and dance productions. She has participated in the international dance festival Dance Excellence, as well as taken classes through Chicago Human Rhythm Project and #TapLifeToo guest teacher series.

Annika is a 7th grader with a passion for everything theatre, starting from when she was just a little kid. This is her first time working behind the scenes but hopefully not her last. She's so excited to help make this show come to life!

Garrett Olsen is so happy to be doing theatre again with Ovation! Past credits include author, set design, and Puck in Painted Blind, (a show which was shut down by the pandemic) Blore in And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie, and assistant director and head stage manager of Silent Sky by Lauren Gunderson. In his free time he enjoys hugging his cat to the point where she’ll begin to hate him, going really overboard with his love of post it notes and page flags, and criticizing Shakespeare, with whom he has a love-hate relationship because some of his plays are really good but there are a lot of objectively bad ones and people don’t understand why he cares about it so much to which he responds “I don’t know, MOM, why don’t YOU write a thesis about the inherent classism of the authorship debate,” to which there will be an additional rebuttal along the lines of “Garrett stop crying over a 400 year old dead man and drink some water or something!!!!” He is a freshman at UMass Amherst.
