Meet the man of testimony, Nicely Nicely Johnson played by Jack Ducat. Jack Ducat has been in all three musicals this year and enjoyed each and every one of them! In Guys and Dolls, Jack plays Nicely, a crazy and funny character who is ALWAYS EATING, and I mean ALWAYS! Jack is an 8th grader at Creekside and is sad to leave but is excited for the road that is still ahead of him. Good Luck Jack!
Cora Lucas:
Meet the star of the Hot Box, Adelaide played by Cora Lucas! She decided to do the musical this year because she has always been intrested in theatre and has been Creekside Productions for the past two years, and wanted to be in Guys And Dolls for her last year. Cora has had a lot of expirence with theatre and first became intrested in theatre in third grade! One of her favorite people to work with in Guys and Dolls was Ethan Gold, playing Nathan Detroit, Adelaide's love intrest. Cora explains, "We were the comedic couple who had been engaged for 14 years and I think it was fun to do than with such a good friend." Cora has been wonderful these three years and has blossomed into a talented and amazing person!
All he came to do was to shoot crap, meet Big Jule played by Sasha Johnson. Big Jule is a character who all he wants to do is gamble. And he always wins, but not because he is lucky like Sky Masterson, but Big Jule always carries a gun, so in case someones thinks he lost, they'll think twice before telling him that. Sasha Johnson is an 8th Grader at Creekside Middle School and has done the musical all three years. "I'm even more excited that they switched the musical to the spring, because now I'm able to do football and theater." Sasha says during an interview. Sasha is a big fan of other activities to like baseball, football, and church. "I really enjoyed working with Chris Elmore this year. I like how he has connections with almost every character in the shopw and also has a funny personality that can even contain the likes of Big Jule." Sasha is a very hardworking student and he will be missed next year as he heads of to the high school.
