David Garcia (12th Grade) – Eddie McCuen
David is a senior and this is his 2nd production having previously been in The Crucible this past fall. Before this year he never thought he would ever be in a play but was pleasantly surprised with how fun it was once his friend dragged him to auditions. He’s happy to have had the opportunity to be in two plays this year. When not at rehearsal he enjoys hanging out with friends and missing school. David has enlisted with the Navy and will join following graduation this summer.

He has been accepted to the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York City and shall be attending beginning in the fall. He is so glad to have shared his final Treasure Coast performance with such a wonderful cast (even though everybody wanted to tear out each other’s throats at one point or another).
Liam Martinez (11th Grade) – Roger Hopewell
First portraying the son of Zeus at Mariposa Elementary, Liam has always strived to be an actor, whether sharing the spotlight as Hercules (Hercules) or Jimmy (Almost, Maine), or stepping to the side as an announcer (Dreamgirls) or a guard (Twelve Angry Jurors).
