STATE THESPIAN OFFICER

Hello there! My name is Mara Bech (she/her) and I’m in the class of 2025 at Lewis and Clark High School, troupe 6356. I’m super excited to serve as one of your Washington STO! I’ve always loved theatre in all of its forms – whether that be performing onstage, running a show backstage, or applauding in the audience. Some of my favorite theatre experiences have been Juror Four in 12 Angry Jurors, stage manager for Big Fish, and a Gossip in Sense and Sensibility. When I’m not in rehearsal, you can usually find me learning Chinese, writing film scripts, or having dance parties with my brother in the kitchen. As an STO, I hope to provide resources for student leaders across all aspects of theatre and work on ensuring that everyone feels seen, valued, and heard at Thespian events. Let’s connect!

Hi there! I'm my name's Bridget Both, I use she/her pronouns, and I'm a junior at Auburn Riverside High School Troupe #5560. I have been involved in theatre for the past nine years and have loved every minute. In my free time, I also enjoy baking and painting, which help me explore more of my creativity along with performing arts. Theatre has always been a passion of mine, and I have found the supportive community very loving and encouraging to try new things. I hope to continue this tradition for others and inspire them to learn more about themselves and others through the performing arts and the connections they can bring.

Hey Thespians! My name is Danny Post I am one of your 2024-2025 Washington State STOs as well as a senior and member of Lewis and Clark High School Troupe 6356. I cannot wait to see what this year brings for Washington Thespys! I have watched my mother through film and stage acting growing up, and fell in love with theatre at the age of 7. Performing has become such a big part in my life and inspires me every day to be the best person I can be. Some of my favorite roles include Chip Tolentino in the 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, Boris Kolenkov in You Can't Take It with You and Kevin G in Mean Girls the Musical. Outside of theatre I spend a lot of my time at the ballpark working for the Spokane Indians Baseball team as well as working as a math tutor.

Hi there! My name is Alison Power (she/her). I go to Friday Harbor High School on San Juan Island where I am a member of ITS troupe 8244. I was born/lived in San Miguel De Allende Mexico before I moved to Washington. I have been doing theater for the past 13 years at the San Juan Community Theater. June of 2023 I was elected Chapter President of Thespian troupe 8244 for the summer office, then was elected again September 2023 for Chapter president for the 2023-2024 term. I found my love of theater through my mom and my sister who have been my biggest inspirations, cheerleaders, and role models. Other than theater I'm a big swiftie, I love to bake, and even though I am dyslexia a big reader! As an STO I hope to create a more inclusive and accessible experience for all Washington Thespians!

I have been doing theater for nine years. My favorite theater memory is stage managing Chicago my freshman year, because I learned so much about leadership and the theater community.
