Hi, I’m Matthew Sirota, your DGN theatre president for this school year! I am mostly known for my acting roles and for my outgoing and energetic personality. (My favorite crew department is Scenery, though!) I’m so excited to work with my fellow board members and all student thespians as a whole to make this the most engaged year of theatre yet! My favorite musical is “Into The Woods,” and I LOVE cheesecake.

Hi there! I’m Emily Kyroudis and I’m one of your Theatre Board members this year! I’ve worked on almost every show since my freshman year and I’ve seen many sides of the production process. I primarily work as a scenic designer and assistant technical director, so you’ll likely find me in the shop throughout the year. I can’t wait to see what magic we create this year! My favorite show is “The Play that Goes Wrong” and my dog’s name is Ari.
