Amritha Anupindi-Hero-12th Grade

Amritha is a senior who is super excited to be playing Hero in Much Ado About Nothing, her twelfth show with the Huron Players!

Amritha loves that Huron Players provides such a caring and accepting environment, and she is always excited to work with everyone to produce wonderful shows! Outside of HP, Amritha likes playing clarinet, reading, and chilling with her fat cat (although lately, much of her time has been taken up by college applications. Unfortunately. It will be over so soon.).

Claire Brinley-Stage Manager-12th Grade

Claire is very excited to be working on her 13th show with the Huron Players!! She is currently a senior at Huron, stressing over college applications and existential questions.

Claire is super psyched to be stage managing another fall show. She can’t wait to eat donuts (but not in the theater), nag actors about learning their lines, and yell at audience members to turn off their cell phones. ​
