CHRISTOPHER
GOVANG: Christopher was bit by the theatre bug at the ripe old age
of four, mostly listening to his mother sing show tunes around the house,
and then by participating in ACTS' production of Honk, Jr.. Now,
at five years old - he's quite the professional, having attended several
fully-staged musicals (actually sitting through them) such as Seussical
and Annie, as well as seeing his first Broadway show, Beauty
and the Beast - after which he enjoyed a lengthy and engaging
conversation with Donny Osmond (who was portraying Gaston at the time).
Christopher loves to sing (all the time), make up songs, play musical
instruments and recreate the dances done in his most recent ACTS production
- The Wiz. After his stint as "Flying Monkey/Field Mouse/Emerald
City Citizen/Quadling", Christopher has announced that when he grows up, he
plans to be a dancing astronaut.

doesn't have plan to stop any time soon. She plans to continue theatre
through high school with ACTS, including the 1/08 production of 42nd
Street, and major in theatre in college. Kristen aspires to be in
movies one day and no matter what, plans to keep ACTS close to her heart
always. She would like to thank all her family and friends both from ACTS
and from school for constant support and love. But most of all, she'd like
to thank God for giving this opportunity to her. And would like to dedicate
all the performances to Lily Diana Karian, a best friend who will be missed
forever and loved alway. RIP.

Lolita), and most recently, Mz. Wiz in ACTS’ production of The Wiz.
