Assistant Director - Brycen Nardone is excited to be a part of the production team of The Wizard of Oz! Having spent many years on the stage, he developed a love for the technical side of theatre and couldn't be more thrilled with this opportunity. He has worked with various community-based theatre companies from Massachusetts to New York, building sets and running the soundboard. Brycen loves the challenge of bringing any musical to life through the set. Outside of his role with the musical, Brycen is a Social Studies teacher at HMMS. Brycen is also the BroadwayVentures summer musical theatre program director and the Technical Director and Master Carpenter for the Hartford High School annual fall musical.
Assistant Director/Lead Costumer - Leslie Rench is excited to be a part of her 17th show but officially her 14th musical as assistant director/lead costumer. Actually, Seussical Jr. in 2010 was Leslie's first show in these important roles. Leslie is a fifth-grade teacher at White River Elementary, and before she took the titles she has held for 14 years, she came to help as a parent. She is a wonderful partner and a dear friend in this annual endeavor. Leslie has three grown children. Her eldest works on the West Coast, and her middle and youngest children live in Boston, MA. Leslie and her husband, Dave, live in Quechee, VT.

Choreographer - Cora Winslow is a junior at Hartford High School and looks forward to being HMMS’s musical choreographer. Cora has worked with Ms. Chapman since 6th grade, first as a student, and now will work alongside her. Cora performed in two HMMS musicals, Once On This Island Jr. and High School Musical Jr. She has also been in several other local productions. The Little Mermaid, Chicago, Anything Goes, Les Miserable, and Legally Blonde. Cora performs with the Hartford High School Performing Arts Department as well. She is in the chorus and band and traveled to Ireland with the Chamber Choir this year. She is an avid musical theater fan and loves performing on stage! We are so happy to have her on board!
Costume Angel - Rosemary Whitman will join us for another show. Rose began working with us several years ago and, like Leslie, hasn't left! She works on other local shows when she isn't costuming something for the high school or us. She also runs her own home alteration business. She truly is an angel among us! Thank you for your dedication to us, your craft, and the kids!
Stage Manager - Molly Fournier-Stephens is a Sophomore at Hartford High School and the Stage Manager for this year's Middle School production of The Wizard of Oz. Molly has been in the performing arts program for Hartford School District ever since her 4th-grade production of The Wizard of Oz at Dothan Brook Elementary School. The first time she was a part of this show was as a cast member. This show is near and dear to her heart for this reason. For the past three years, she has stage-managed productions for both HMMS and HHS and other local theater companies. She found her love of being behind the scenes in HMMS' 2021 production of High School Musical Jr. Later that year, she learned how to stage manage for the High School's Fall musical, and the rest, as they say, is history. We welcome Molly back to our Spring production team and look forward to working with her again.
