Kira is a local Special Education teacher and theater participant. She holds a BFA in Theater with a minor in Shakespeare Studies from Southern Oregon University. In her first year there, she saw the Oregon Shakespeare Festival’s production of Henry IV part 1 and LOVED it. Kira feels so lucky and trusted as the director of Henrymania. This show is a true labor of love. Most recently, Kira was last seen in Renegade Theater's The Rocky Horror Show (Phantom & Narrator U/S) and Reefer Madness (ensemble). Special thanks to Erica for introducing Kira to WWE, Scottie for dreaming up this incredible concept and allowing Kira to direct, the entire Henrymania team for believing in something so fun and taking it seriously, and everyone who donated or told anyone in the project that they were excited to come.

Asher has been doing theater for just over a year and similarly found joy in stage combat. He is a regular at Renegade Theatre and has recently performed in She Kills Monsters, Trap!, and Crybaby. On the stage combat front, Asher attends most of the weekly fight clubs at Scratch Studio, as well as doing as much stage combat as he can in shows he is in. Henrymania is a wonderful combo of both theater, and stage combat. Enjoy the Show!

Sophia is so excited.

Ash Hartman recently woke up from a bad dream in which they didn't do theater, in an attempt to recover from this nightmare they've been throwing themself back into it this starting fist with performing in MCTs new works weekend while working with Scottie, Kira, Ian Grant, and Ian Dyer and without that wonderful opportunity and those wonderful people they may never have found themself here today. Ash is so excited to be playing Mortimer and Bardolph in gay innocent heartless's Henrymania and has felt so honored to be part of the process of Henrymania for these many months they truly don't know what they did to be so lucky as to work with the kind, professional, fun, and extraordinarily talented group of people that make up its cast and crew. Ash will also be playing many fascinating characters in Gross Indecency: The Three Trails of Oscar Wilde opening October 9 at the vets hall here in Santa Cruz. Thank you to everyone who has come to Henrymania it has been an honor.

It’s been said that the earth did shake when Isaac Ludington was born, although seismic records from the time indicate that this is merely superstition. What is true is that Isaac is a lifelong theatre artist with a wide variety of credits under their belt. They cofounded the Santa Cruz-based theatre troupe Midsummer Ensemble in 2022, which disbanded with its triumphant final production of Dracula earlier this summer. Recent roles include Barry in GayInnocentHeartless’ How to Get Appointments by Telephone, Nick in Mountain Community Theater’s Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, and Van Helsing in Midsummer Ensemble’s Dracula. Isaac is also a playwright, and their play Destiny’s Birthright (a comedy-drama about the worst fanfiction ever written and the woman who’s desperately trying to make sure nobody finds out she wrote it) will be having a public staged reading on November 21st at Scratch Studio in Santa Cruz. Outside of theatre, Isaac can be found stocking shelves at Ulta Beauty in Capitola, listening to sad music, and drinking medically concerning amounts of tea.

 Lu Ludington has been doing this whole theater thing far too long.
