This is still a work in progress, but I wanted to share some of my experiences in photos, both acting and directing, as well as from my teaching days and the “Ghost Light” era. Enjoy :)
ZACH
by Christian St. Croix
A satirical comedy that lovingly skewers the popular tropes of the 90’s teen sitcom, ZACH introduces us to the lives and loves of Gina (Amber Walker) and P.J. (Michael Nevarez), a black girl and a latino boy at an affluent, majority white high school in Southern California. P.J., a lovesick surfer boy, and Gina, a budding fashionista, are overjoyed when they’re invited into the inner circle of Zach, the white, charismatic, prank-happy new kid at school. But when Zach plans a prank that goes too far, P.J. and Gina must race to stop him before it’s too late - and along the way, learn to see their peers, and themselves, with fresh eyes. ZACH had it’s world premier at ArtsWest in 2023 and was directed by Sara Porkalob
