Gina De Luca began her theatre experience throughout San Diego County, before moving to New York at the early age of 18. Mrs. De Luca continued to follow her dream while studying at the American Academy for the Performing Arts, and privately with some of New York's finest vocal coaches. Gina walked the yellow brick road to stardom on Broadway after starring in the National Tour of The Wizard of Oz. After a series of rigorous auditions, she earned the privilege of understudying the roles of Eponine and Cosette in the Broadway Company of Les Miserables. She was reconized for her many gifts and talents, and was the first female to be contracted for both starring roles in the Broadway Cast as well as the National Touring Company. Gina toured and performed in other productions such as Camelot, Man of La Mancha, where she portrayed the role of Aldonza first in New York and then locally. Currently Gina is a private vocal instructor and passes her skills to her students.

Brooke Cannons has been performing in musicals since the age of six and knew from that moment on she must be on stage. Some of her favorite roles include Peggy in 42nd Street, Mayzie in Seussical and Lucy in You’re A Good Man Charlie Brown. She has appeared in Off-Broadway Productions of Stuart Ross’s Sounds of Plaid as Rhoda, and the Ahrens & Flaherty musical revue We Tell The Story as TiMoune. She has also had the opportunity to share the stage with Broadway stars Shoshana Bean, Eric Kunzie, Marissa Perry and more in Stephen Shwartz’s musical revue Defying Gavity. She would like to thank her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for the amazing opportunities he has given her and his gracious gifts as well. http://www.brookecannons.com
