Athena is beyond excited for the opportunity to play her dream role of Matilda on the Weathervane Playhouse stage! She has recently played Annie (Annie, New Direction Performing Arts Academy), Dorothy (The Wizard of Oz, St. Michael School), and Lavender (Matilda, Aurora Community Theatre). She has been in numerous shows playing Sharpay (High School Musical Jr., Avenue Arts), Sebastian (The Little Mermaid Jr., St. Michael School), Teen Fiona (Shrek Jr., NCP), Sina & Tamatoa (Moana Jr., NCP) and Katie Dickens/Fan (A Christmas Carol, Players Guild Theatre). She is 12 years old and a seventh-grade student at St. Michael’s School with a passion for singing and acting. When not on stage, she plays volleyball, tennis, and voice lessons. Athena sends gratitude to all her family, cast members and everyone behind the scenes who made it possible to make this play happen.
