SABINA ETSCHEID (they/them)

Quinn Goodman is Far Water High's lovely leader of GSA — headstrong, courageous, and committed to saving their GSA from eminent doom. Stands up to the homophobic teachers at Far Water! Hopeless with words around pretty cheerleaders...

They would like to thank the cast and crew for their creativity, support, and compassion throughout the rehearsing and filming process. Special thanks to Shileah and Ballyhoo Theatre for giving them the tools to have gotten this far. Follow them on Instagram: @sbnage!

JUBILEE LOPEZ (she/her)

Sarai Mendez is the enigmatic and lovable lesbian in our wonderfully gay show. Witty, feisty, quick with those comebacks. Outwardly energetic, proud, and always there for her best friend Quinn. The relationship with her family is another story.

​

Jubilee Lopez was born in Seattle and raised in Portland. She is currently studying acting and writing with the Atlantic Theater Co. in their Global Virtual Conservatory program. Jubilee loves to write in the morning and read in the evening. Say hi to her on Instagram @jubileelopez and tune in to her monthly newsletter, My Kind of Fun, on substack. Besos!

ADRIANE WATSON (they/them)

Zel Amari is the most consistent voice of reason at Far Water High. She's dependable and responsible, the mom of the group. Not everyone follows her advice (which they certainly will regret). Sometimes she feels like she's just in the shadows.

Adriane Watson is a genderqueer artist. Along with acting, they also sing and write poetry. You can find their on Instagram @adriane.awats. They're originally from Hanford, California, which is a town known only for its connection to Journey and its impressive number of cows. They’ve signed onto all their projects in the hopes of increasing representation in media. At the end of the day, there is nothing more important than a sense of belonging. 

JONAH BLUE (he/him)

For Romeo Cohen, the eyeshadow is everything. So is the Communist Manifesto. Dawns the trench coat in the hot sun. They've got the flair, the stoicism, and the Soviet anthem down to a tee. Carefree but ultimately sorrowful under the veil.

​

Jonah Blue was born in Bellingham, Washington and now resides in Seattle. He began acting at the age of seven when cast as an orphan in Annie at the Issaquah Village Theater. The early part of his career consisted of mostly stage work, but in recent years, he has branched out into film. When he’s not acting he’s making music with his band Please The King and longboarding on Alki.

EDEN BLANFORD (they/them)

Mickey Mcphaerson's a walking, talking Claire's store. Life of the party. The first one to chant. Rebellious beyond social norms (with exceptionally good fashion). Deeply invested in the moment, but dramatic to a fault around Far Water's resident hot commie.

​

Hi! My name is Eden, i use they/them pronouns, and I’m a relative beginner at acting. Hetero was my first big project and put me on the path to study acting in college! My Instagram is @eden.astra if you’d like to keep up with me.

MCKENSIE SHEA (she/her)

Outwardly, Olivia Santina is a confident, well-known cheerleader who never misses a beat to smile back. She's very empathetic, always trying to please everyone, but she struggles to find her true self in the small world of Far Water High.

​

Born in Chicago and raised in Tallahassee and Sacramento, McKensie has now landed in the Pacific Northwest to focus on making art. She completed her actors training at Portland Actors Conservatory with Artists Repertory Theatre and has been working in the local theatre and film industry since.  She is interested in telling stories exploring the female experience.
