1. Hi! What is your role on the production? My name is Thomas Johnston and I am the Assistant Stage Manager for Altar Boyz!
2. What is your background in theatre? At Walterdale? I’m currently in my first year at the University of Alberta studying Stage Management. Recent credits include Annie (Crescent School, 2019 PSM), Romeo & Juliet (Crescent School, 2018 SM), Beautiful: The Carole King Musical – First National (SM Intern, Toronto 2017), The Sound of Music – First National (Apprentice SM, Toronto 2017). As for Walterdale Theatre (and Edmonton), this is my first show!
3. Why did you want to be a part of this show? In August, I moved from Toronto to Edmonton to start at U of A and I am so happy to be making my theatre debut here in Edmonton!
4. Why should audiences come see the show? Altar Boyz is more than just a typical musical, it is HILARIOUS. As an ex-Altar Boy (or Altar Server in more politically correct terminology) there are some very comical parts…especially when the Altar Boyz overworked Roadie makes appearances.
5. What’s your favourite boy band song and why? I Want It That Way by the Backstreet Boys… I believe this requires no explanation.
