Nicolas Bianchi began acting at age 19 at the University of Utah, completed the Actor Training Program at the school, and is performing in his first professional show out of college. He was formally Perseus in a senior project, titled "Medusa" by Lexie Thomson, and BOYFRIEND in a University production of a devised play titled "Liminal" by Troy Deutsch. Nick is extremely grateful for his family and friends, who always support him. And is ecstatic to be a part of this fantastic team of artists.
Ethan Hernandez is a graduate of the University of Utah’s Actor Training Program and is excited to be working with Wasatch Theatre again. Previous credits include Short Shorts (Eddy/Dave/Dev), Rabbit Hole (Jason), Gross Indecency (Taylor/Judge/Mavor), and Puffs (Oliver).
Hannah Orr is excited to be making her Wasatch Theatre debut. She is an actor and playwright with local credits including Power Plays (Joan/Wanda), Life of Galileo (Little Monk), As You Like It (Le Beau), Stop Kiss (Sara), and The Lady with the Dog (Anna).
Kassandra Torres is so happy to be back with Wasatch in her acting debut. She has written and produced more than sixty staged projects (and countless Wattpad fanfics from 2009). Her most recent acting credit was in the very first staged production of TO SAINTS AND STARS by Jordan Ramirez Puckett as Sofía (Good Company Theatre, 2022). Enjoy FastHorse’s comedy and a whole lot of cringe!
Larissa FastHorse grew up in South Dakota, where she began her career as a ballet dancer and choreographer. Returning to an early interest in writing, she became involved in Native American drama, first in the Native film community, but she found her artistic home as a playwright. Her satirical comedy The Thanksgiving Play was one of the top ten most produced plays in America. She is the first Native American playwright in the history of American theater on that list. FastHorse also co-founded Indigenous Direction, a consulting firm that helps organizations and individuals who want to create accurate work by, for, and with Indigenous peoples. Personally, FastHorse challenges every theatre she works with to be sure that her work isn’t the only Indigenous art in the building and that she isn’t the only Indigenous person being paid in that season.
A 2020 MacArthur Fellow, some of FastHorse’s produced plays include What Would Crazy Horse Do? (KCRep), Landless and Cow Pie Bingo (AlterTheater), Average Family (Children’s Theater Company of Minneapolis), Teaching Disco Squaredancing to Our Elders: A Class Presentation (Native Voices at the Autry), Vanishing Point (Eagle Project), and Cherokee Family Reunion (Mountainside Theater). Additional theaters that have commissioned or developed plays with her include The Public, Yale Repertory Theater, Guthrie, Geffen Playhouse, History Theater, Kennedy Center Theater for Young Audiences, Baltimore’s Center Stage, Arizona Theater Company, Mixed Blood, Perseverance Theater Company, The Lark Playwrights’ Week, the Center Theatre Group Writer’s Workshop, and The Berkeley Repertory Theater’s Ground Floor. She has recently returned to film and TV with projects at NBC, Disney Channel, Dreamworks, Apple, and Freeform.

WTC Ensemble
WTC has an Ensemble of artists. These individuals have shown amazing talent and energy toward making WTC a success. As Ensemble members, they earn recognition on the WTC website and in playbills. They also have opportunity to contribute to WTC seasons and other ideas. They are the first to be considered when casting a show and have an automatic "in" when it comes to the Page-to-Stage Festivals and any staged readings. We are thrilled to have these artists associated with WTC!
