Our 2022-2023 Officers

Maddie Bobko

President

"I love performing in any way I can and have been privileged enough to preform in every SLHS mainstage show! I run the young democrats club at school and work as a party princess on the weekends! I love chai lattes, my vinyl collection, and true crime documentaries. This upcoming year I plan to increase the scope of ITS's influence in our school/local community with events such as student open mic nights and cabarets that we can use as fundraising opportunities! I'm so excited to be sharing my senior year with such a talented and passionate group that I could not be more proud of. "

Danielle Kessler

Vice-President

"I'm very passionate about performing and have been apart of ITS for three years. My favorite musical is Heathers and on the weekends I work at Acting For Youth People. I'm so excited to work with all of you for the upcoming school year and cant wait to see what we accomplish!"


August Rivers

"This past year at South Lakes I've been involved in Broadway Night and Crazy for you. I'm one of the leaders of the a capella group Smac. Next year I'm super excited to meet all the incoming freshman, do an awesome fall play, spring musical and to have a bunch of fun theater fundraisers!"
