MORE Check out this year's incredible talent!
Reilly is thrilled to be making her Pickleville debut this summer! She recently graduated from Webster University (The Sargent Conservatory of Theatre Arts) in 2025, with a B.F.A in Musical Theatre. Some of her recent credits include Olive in "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee" (Cincinnati Music Theatre) and Constance in "Ride the Cyclone" (Sargent Conservatory). Besides doing theatre, she enjoys baking, watching movies, and being with friends. She hopes you come down to the Playhouse!
Slater is an actor/singer/comedic dancer based in Brooklyn, NY. He was recently seen in an NYC workshop of a new play, Time Share, singing in the Playwrights Horizons Gala, and making his directing debut in Oklahoma. He is really happy to be escaping the city to have some fun out west. It smells better here! The air is CLEAN. He is humbled and excited to be welcomed back to his home away from home at Pickleville. Slater is originally from Wheatland, WY and holds an MFA in Acting from Rutgers University: Mason Gross School of the Arts.
Dean is a Fourth-year MFA candidate in Lighting Design at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s Johnny Carson School of Theatre and Film. He has worked in a variety of roles, including lighting design, sound design, and directing. His passion for design is matched only by his commitment to education.
Andrea has been involved with Pickleville since its beginning. She recently returned to the stage after a 30 year hiatus, performing alongside her kids and grandson as Grandma, in our last four renditions of The Addams Family. Andrea remembers peeling bark off of the logs that were used to build the theater and later nailing on the tin roof of the cookout while 9 months pregnant with Sharli, her 3rd child. When not working on things at Pickleville, she is busy loving kids and grandkids.
It’s been some of the most rewarding years to be part of the visual department at Pickleville Playhouse—something Bodie has had the privilege of doing for over 21 years. He currently runs his own full-time creative studio, Bodwa Productions, which he started 26 years ago, specializing in graphic design, web development, and video production. Bodie graduated from Utah State University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design and a Master’s degree in Instructional Design. For him, every day is a chance to create something new—and that never gets old. He is happily married to his sweet, bubbly wife, Kathryn, and they live in Cedar City, Utah. Together, they’re raising five fantastic, energetic kids. When he’s not creating, you’ll likely find him at Disneyland, on a cruise with his family, or tackling a cleverly designed escape room. He’s also a big fan of all things Zelda—especially the epic soundtracks from the past several years.
Is it Summer already? Time flies when you're having fun! Since closing The Addams Familylast fall, Derek has spent most of his free time writing Pickleville's latest original melodrama, The Ballad of Butch and Sundance. He also enjoys traveling the world with his now family of four (25 countries and counting). Derek and Whitley are also the crazy couple behind "Pickleville Camps" (Pickleville's insanely fun summer camps). Check out PicklevilleCamps.com for more information. Hope you enjoy the show!
Gavin is a a composer, producer, and orchestrator living in Vineyard, UT. He was born and raised in San Diego by a mom who's an award-winning musical director in musical theater and a dad who plays viola in a symphony. Growing up attending countless rehearsals and performances made music inescapable for him, but from a young age he wanted music to be HIS thing—he wanted to find his own corner of music that wasn't his mom or dad's. Although he thrived in seven years of classical piano lessons, his personal journey began when he added self-taught guitar to the mix and started forming pop-punk bands as a singer and guitarist. He later joined drumline in high school and became entirely focused on drumming, playing guitar, writing songs, and learning how to record and produce them with a humble recording setup. All the while, he was informally teaching himself how to arrange music by using various softwares to record his songs.
He graduated from Brigham Young University studying Commercial Music where he gradually shifted from a focus on songwriting and production to jazz, film scoring, and orchestration with voice as his formally trained instrument. Now he's come full circle and is being everything he's ever been as a film composer, record producer, and composer and orchestrator for musical theater. Hip-Hop, Theater, RnB, Jazz, Country, Punk, Folk, Singer/Songwriter—all of it is constantly happening in his world! Lately he's been orchestrating and composing a handful of musicals, producing for artists local and abroad, scoring indie films and ads, and reading every orchestration, counterpoint, and harmony book he can find!
Kenzie is thrilled to bring The Addams Family back from the dead this fall! She cannot wait to play one of her favorite roles along side her talented husband and amazing family. Kenzie has spent the summer at Pickleville directing Joseph and watching her little daughter become obsessed with the place she loves so much! Here’s to another spooky season at Pickleville!
We're at it again! So excited to create some awesomeness alongside some of my favorite people in the world. Whitley graduated from BYU with a degree in Music Dance Theatre in 2014. Hobbies include: bugging her husband, kissing her babies, party planning, wrestling her puppy, traveling, and dancing awkwardly in public. Her and Derek just finished their 12th summer of Pickleville Camps (musical theater camps for ages 6-18). Join us next summer: PicklevilleCamp.com
