Sara (ICON) Skiles
Producer
Age:17
Birthdate:04/11/1988
Random Fact: Afraid of Sunfish
Sara has always felt like she didn't belong. She was born in Illinois but soon moved to San Fransico where
she spent the days in the cradle. However, one move later found her growing up in a small farming community of Brentwood,
California. She found friends, lost them, found hobbies, lost those, and constantly struggled with her desire to
be an individual while still wanting to fit in the crowd. She had her fair share of enemies, almost as many as friends,
and tried sports (failed hilariously), clubs, leadership classes, etc. Then, to top off her constant battle for acceptance,
she was forced to move again and this time to Santa Clarita Valley. She continued to fight with her individuality, her
obsession with hot high heels, and desire for her place in high school where people would love her for her insanities... and
she found it.
"Theatre was probably one of the craziest things to come into my life but I thank it for giving me the best friends
I have ever had. In the middle of all of my studying, pretending to study, and down right not studying, I found this
freakin awesome group of people that let me continue to grow as a person while helping me develope a passion for life.
Acting gives me a reason to live, a beat in my heart, a sway in my hips, a friend keeping me up all night (thanks a lot, Julz-
it's only 3 freakin in the morning). I love it more than I could probably put down in words. So yeah, I'm done
with the whole 'pretending to study bit' and I'm struting my funky stuff on the catwalk, baby!"
Sara would like to thank everyone that has ever come into her life but that list is far too short... just kidding...
or is she? (Sound effects- "Bom Bom Bom") She wants to thank a few special people in her life, three in particular:
Sam ("because you have always listened and kept me semi sane"), Julz ("because you understand me and you have given me a friend
I can laugh with"), and Andrew ("because you have never doubted our capability"). Also, she would like to thank
her friends from Brentwood as well as from Santa Clarita, for always knowing how to deal with her without biting her head
off and beating her with a stick like a pinatta... too often ("Candy doesn't come out of me... I swear!!! Back off,
Julie!!!"). She would like to thank those little evil voices in her head. Also, the most important
person in her life, her best friend, John Capps... "Because with you time stops and the world, no matter how
crazy, falls into place and it's just so perfect. You have been my northern star in a darkness that I almost
drowned in when I lost hope. I love you and I always will." And a few thank you's to her family
for giving her life and hope for tomorrow. (Thanks mom & dad! Thank you, Jess-love! Thanks Emmy, baby!)
"So thank you for giving me half a thought. I love you too!" (Icon)

Julianne (Julz) Haumont
Producer
Age: 16
Birthdate: 03/09/1989
Random Fact: Obsessed with Chinese food.
Julz grew up in a small town in Central California. While living there she was part of several theatre productions
including 42nd Street, Bugsy Malone, Westside Story, and many others. When she moved to the Santa Clarita Valley in March
of 2005 she met Andrew Neal, Sara Skiles, and Sam Harries in the Saugus High Adv. Theatre Dept. As the four teens bonded they
all stated their longing for a musical production. After their request for a musical at Saugus High was rejected the four
set off with another of Julie's "crazy ideas". The idea was of course Mount Olympus Productions. So a few months later the
company seems to be advancing towards success very rapidly as the teens grab on tight for the "ride of their lives". So look
out world for more of Julz's "Crazy Ideas"...
Julz would like to thank tons of people including; her mom(Liz), dad(Chris), stepdad(Dan), friends(Andrew, Milton,
Sara, Robbie, Nick, Emily, Sam, Ryan R., Michael, Josh, Amber, Will, Andie, David, Ryan L., Scott, Squeak, the AHS drama freaks,
everyone else my ADHD forgot), Her knight in shining Armor: Daniel(yes, you babe, I just wanna thank you for being the
most incredible man ever, I love you more than anything, needless to say you aren't allowed to change EVER)(And don't you
ever forget how incredible you are and how much you mean to me, I love you more!!!), her family, her split personality, the
messiah, and everyone else she ever came into contact with EVER(they helped, somehow). THANK YOU!!!
So as the thank you's end we come to a conclusion about this MOP producers she is an everyday teen
who just wouldn't give up. No massivly huge connections, godly powers, etc.. just a theatre freak from a small town in California
fighting for a voice in the society of theatre as in today's world (and believe us its a tough one). So she would just like
to remind everyone that MOP is run by teens who do have lives and they don't just consist of theatre 24/7 ( she rides dirtbikes,
sings, plays the piano, goes on dates, recks cars (sorry dad), throws parties, annoys neighbors, stays up all night fixing
websites, fixes Andrews mistakes, works (yay Hurricane Harbor Lifeguards), restors MR50s (yes its a motorcycle), and does
everything her mommy said not to do... you get the point) So, yeah, adios and remember: To Be Old and Wise You Must First
Be Young and Stupid (very stupid in my world) (So parents be leinient please...) Lata Peace, Cheesecake!!!

Andrew Wyeth Candella Pasqualli Neal
Producer
Age:17
Birthdate: 04/03/1988
Random Fact: favorite musical-"The Phantom Of The Opera"
"Hi, I'm Andrew Wyeth Candella Pasqualli Neal, but I prefer to be called Andrew. I was born in the not-so-beautiful
and not-so-safe town of Bell, California. I lived with my mom, my grandma, and my grandpa till I was 11 years old. During
this time I learned a lot about movies, plays, and music from my multi-talented grandpa. He taught me to sing and play
the piano at the age of 5. My first encoutner with music was when my grandpa was playing "really scary music" which I
later learned was "THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA" and thats when I started getting into music, singing and even acting. Ever
since then, I've always dreamed of becoming an actor and performing in a professional musical. Up through elemantary school,
when I later went to live with my dad, because my parents were divorced, I did many plays and musicals such as,
"The Tortise and The Hare", "Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory" and "Annie". After elementary school, my family moved
from Studio City to Santa Clarita. During Jr. high school I performed in "The Mummy" but that was all. Then when I
got to highschool, I stopped theatre for a while, to pursue baseball, but I later looked back on all my grandpa
taught me and I knew I shouldn't waste a gift that I was born with, so in my sophmore year I preformed
in, "Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat". In my junior year our old drama teacher Mr. Best left and we got a new
teacher. It was hard adapting to the change but we got used to her and her teaching methods, but we hated one thing
about her, she didn't want to do any musicals at our school. That's when a special person, Julie Haumont, was transfered to
our school. Sara and I made friends with her and she brought upon the idea of creating MOP, Mount
Olympus Productions, a student theatre group that preform musicals. Now we are pursuing that goal and we hope to acieve
it and continue it, forever.
I want to thank my grandpa, who taught me everything about acting and singing. I want to thank my dad and mom
for supporting my acting. And of course, my friends for putting up with me. I also want to mention my heroes who influenced
me to continue acting and singing: John Ritter, Michael Crawford, and Al Pacino."

Sam (Brit) Harries
Producer
Age:16
Birthdate:
Random Fact: True Identity- Big Pink Starfish from Spongebob Squarepants(Patrick)
Hi... Yeah... I'm Sam Patrick Harries... I'm british. I was born in Exeter England, I moved to Texas when I was 10.
I was also homeschooled up until 8th grade. I attended the most ghetto school imaginable in south Texas... Pflugerville Middle
School.
But yeah, my experience in theatre comes from working at Zachary Scott Theatre in Texas. I was there working for
4-7 hours everyday. Notice I said experience... not skill... or talent. Plays I have worked on include, Little Shop of Horrors,
Hedwig the Angry Inch, SparkleShark, Monty Python and The Holy Grail, and West Side Story.
Yeah... I got totally dragged into this by Sara, Julie, and Andrew(the asshole). Because they are tech-incompetant....
Also I guess I've been dragged into playing Judd Fry. Again. I've already played him before in Middle school.
And now I'm just writing stuff to keep up to Andrew's bio because Sara won't let me make it any shorter... Damn
him.
I run my own radio station on the air. Angels of Death Radio. AODR. We are always online and usually have atleast
50 people all around the world.
(Sara) "Sam has really come to our rescue in this company. He is a wonderful guy inside and out, from his crazy
infatuation with black clothing to his oddly wide rage of music knowledge. Everyday we learn something more amazing
about this guy, something more mind blowing, something that makes us love him more as a friend. He makes his life sound
so 'shazam-there it is!' and maybe it's true but to us he means so much more than that. When we (Andrew, Julie,
and I) met Sam we were working on a Youth Theatre Production and Sam had volunteered to play a character we couldn't seem
to keep an actor in. He saved us then and he is saving us now. We are so lucky to have him as a fellow producer...
and even more lucky to have him as a friend. And that is what MOP is... a group of friends, close friends, trying to
do something everyone thought was impossible."
So yeah thanks for reading this and even though I hate them for getting me into this... thanks Sara, Julie, Andrew
