Nadia Ruth Wertz
Youth Ensemble

A 5th grader at Saint Patrick School, Nadia is the daughter of Brad and Heather Wertz of Altoona. Although she’s making her ACT debut in this production, Nadia is at home on the stage. She has performed in shows with Miracle Productions, including Rip Van Winkle and A Christmas Carol, during which she delivered quite convincing portrayals of Dickens’ allegorical characters, Ignorance and Want. When she isn’t on stage, Nadia enjoys karate and gymnastics. She would like to thank Mr. Gray for giving her the opportunity to perform on the historic Mishler stage, and she looks forward to sharing the limelight with this amazingly talented cast and crew!
