Lately Angèlica has taken more of a backstage role in theatre and has focused on directing, so you may have seen one of her more recent shows such as "Addams Family" (Kids Coop Theatre), Trail To Oregon! (ACT), "The Last Days of Judas Iscariot" (Milford Area Players), “The New Hampshire Theatre Awards” (New Hampshire Theatre Alliance) “Hand To God” (NHTA Winning Show, ACT) “Cabaret” (NHTA Winning Show, ACT), “The Producers” (Windham Actors Guild), “Big: The Musical” (Kids Coop Theatre/ACT), “Oklahoma” (Kids Coop Theatre), “Sweeney Todd” (Actorsingers).

Offstage, Sara enjoys playtime with their dog Chewie, being pool side, and reminiscing about the days of waiting by the radio to catch her favorite song. Special thanks to the cast, crew, Phil, Chewie, and everyone who shares a love for 90s culture. Enjoy the show and let's relive the magic of the 90s together!

His past other works include Various in Edges, Ted Cotten in Murder Among Friends, and Ned in Small Mouth Sounds, all at Roger Williams University. Connor would like to thank the cast and crew for being so welcoming and entertaining to be with. He could not have done this show without such support and openness. Connor also thanks his family and friends for all the support. And most of all, Connor wants to thank Katie for being the greatest gift of all. Connor hopes you enjoy this bittersweet symphony!

Outside of theatre, Selena can be found acting in films in the New England area and making cosplay content on TikTok and Instagram (@itscindychea). She would like to thank her friends and partner, Val, for always supporting her and coming out to all her performances. Love you all!

He most recently performed at the Boston Center for the Arts as "Scotty" in "Evil Dead the Musical: HD." Special shout-out to his golden doodle Chewbacca and his loving partner Sara Landry who is portraying Annette.
Mark Kelly

Ilana Peet
Ilana is so excited to be doing another show with ACT! In the past she has appeared in Big (ACT), Catch Me If You Can (Majestic), and Sweeney Todd (Actorsingers), among many others. She hopes you enjoy the show!
April Skinner
April is excited to be on stage for her second time. She started her theatre debut as part of the NHTA ensemble in January. She is fortunate to be working with such a talented group. Thanks to all who have been welcoming and supportive. She's especially grateful for Rosemarie, always pushing her out of her comfort zone. Much adoration to David for all his love and encouragement.
Connor Forbes
Connor is very excited to be returning to Cruel Intentions in his ACT debut. Selected previous credits include Groundhog Day, Cabaret, Heathers, Proof, and The Play That Goes Wrong. You’ll be able to see Connor next in Monstersongs at Actorsingers. He would like to thank his family, friends, and Katharine for all their love and support.
Bri Arico
Bri is excited to return to Cruel Intentions and step into the role of Stage Manager and understudy of Mrs. Bunny Caldwell. Her favorite prop on stage is the gold accented phone since it belonged to her grandma. Bri hopes you all enjoy this production as much as we had fun making it. Bri is also excited to cameo as one of the Mrs. Bunny Caldwell’s. Bri is an expert in being a Bunny seeing as she is the mother to two at home (love you Caesar and Octavius).
Jesse Drake
Jesse has been directing and musically directing around Southern New Hampshire since 2017, with his debut being with Actorsingers and their still-lauded Teen production of "Jesus Christ Superstar". He has also been performing in the New Hampshire community theatre circuit since 2009. Since 2021, he's been a regular director and musical director for Kids Coop Theatre in Derry and more recently started serving as an active member of their Board of Directors. You may recognize him from such recent acting roles as Aladdin in Actors Cooperative Theatre's production of "Twisted" or as Adolfo Pirelli in Actorsingers' Fall 2022 production of "Sweeney Todd". One of Jesse's favorite roles to date would have to be Butch Honeywell in Milford Area Players' production of "The Last Days of Judas Iscariot" this past Spring. Trying to manage two and a half directing jobs at once has been a daunting but fruitful experience for Jesse and he sincerely hopes you enjoy the tireless work the cast and crew have dedicated to this production; this show would truly not exist without their efforts.
Jess Vaughn
Jess is proud of the cast of Cruel Intentions at Actors Coop Theatre. She has performed and worked behind the scenes for multiple professional and community productions throughout New England and has fronted various award-winning original and cover bands. When not on stage (or behind the stage), she enjoys time at home with her supportive hubby Alex, and their adorable “mutt” Penelope. Enjoy the show!

Director's Note
Director's Note
Set in the glamorous and scandalous world of Manhattan's Upper East Side, "Cruel Intentions" tells the story of seduction, betrayal, and revenge among a group of wealthy and manipulative teenagers. Adapted from the cult classic film of the same name, this show captures the essence of the '90s with its nostalgic soundtrack.
The complexities of Kathryn Merteuil shine first and foremost through her taboo sibling intimacy with Sebastian and the insatiable desire to manipulate those around her for her own satisfaction.
As you witness the devious schemes and unexpected alliances unfold on stage, you may find yourself questioning who to trust and where loyalties truly lie. I invite you to immerse yourself in the world of "Cruel Intentions" and experience the highs and lows of love, lust, and deception.
Please enjoy this nostalgia-fueled rollercoaster of a show!
