    Brielle Frasca (Artistic Director): This will be Señorita Frasca’s first year directing the musical at OJRMS! Her love for theater started at age ten when she began training as a puppeteer. Since then, that passion has morphed into a love for all avenues of artistic expression! Señorita Frasca spent the last ten years doing her three favorite things: teaching, living in Spain, and writing and directing for her undergraduate college’s theater department. Some of her all time favorite productions she has directed are It’s A Wonderful Life, Clue, and Delightful Quarantine. As for roles she was lucky enough to play, the highlights include Ronette (Little Shop), Holly (The Wedding Singer), and Cinderella’s step-mother (Into the Woods). Having the opportunity to watch students grow and evolve through having a safe space to be creative and express themselves is the honor of a lifetime for Señorita Frasca, and she sees a very bright future for the OJRMS theater with the incredible team she gets to work with.
