ALLYSON SMITH
Hannah
Allyson is a senior in computer science here at NC State. She has performed in QuickSCRIPTS at University Theatre more times than she can count including a wide range of roles — a 5-year-old girl, an old lady, a grieving sister in the depths of an MLM scheme, a clock, a CIA interrogator, Alexa the voice assistant, and more. Allyson hopes you all enjoy watching QuickSCRIPTS tonight!!
JONATHAN MAXWELL
Finger
Jonathan moved to Raleigh in 2018 and started acting the following year thanks to Gus Allen and Daryl Ray Carliles at Back-to-One Acting Studio. He owes them a lot for helping him be where he is today – which is here to perform for all of you! (Well, technically he is at home while this is being written) So if he does a poor job, you know who to blame! When he isn’t acting, he’s working… but, when he isn’t doing that, he is making episodes for his show about science and space! (What the what show).
STEPHANIE TURNER
Dragon
Stephanie has worked onstage and off for almost 20 years. When she isn’t acting in original plays, she’s helping showcase and produce them as a board member of The Cary Playwrights’ Forum. She’s excited to produce her first show, 7 Tales from 7 Voices: A Cary Playwrights’ Forum Retrospective.
