Meet THE SANTALAND DIARIES Elfcappella!

If you’ve been a good girl or boy and have already seen The Santaland Diaries this year, then you know that we’ve added Elfcappella! An all-elf acappella group that sings you right into the show! The group is made up of apprentices from our 2014-2015 apprentice company.
And they were coached by our very own group sales manager/acappella extraordinaire, Tim Harland.

Interested in who was singing the “go pee now” version of Let It Go? Check out Elfcappella below!

Chaz Duffy is a recent magna cum laude graduate of High Point University and an Atlanta native who is thrilled to be a part of The Santaland Diaries. Over the last year Chaz has stayed busy with roles as Mr. Vaan Dan in The Diary of Anne Frank, Rapunzel’s Prince in Into the Woods, Florizel in The Winter’s Tale and Mitch in A Streetcar Named Desire. Chaz is also an alumnus of HPU’s male acappella group The Toccatatones, and last year was one of five nominees by the Contemporary Acappella Recording Association in the Best Male Soloist category. When he isn’t on stage, you may find him beat-boxing, perusing old leather-bound books, or taking a walk in the woods. Chaz would like to thank his parents, collaborators, and professors for helping him get this far, and the Horizon Theatre apprentices for where they will continue to take him.

Justine Vadini is a member of Horizon Theatre’s Acting Apprentice Company. She is thrilled to make her professional theatre debut in The Santaland Diaries this year. Justine would like to thank her fellow apprentices and everyone else at Horizon for all of the inspiration and love they emanate. She would also like to thank her new home, Atlanta, for providing the same. Pray for ArtsTL!

Abigail Williams is honored to be a part of the 2014-2015 Horizon Apprentice Company as an acting apprentice. Currently Abigail teaches private voice and piano lessons around the Atlanta area and is a drama coach and director at two private art schools located in Decatur and Cumming. She is thrilled to get to be a part of The Santaland Diaries this year and is so grateful for the opportunity to work with such a vibrant cast. She looks forward to performing with the rest of the apprentice company in the spring of 2015 in several One Acts and a selection of 10-Minute Plays written by the apprentice company playwrights! Details will be up on the Horizon website soon concerning these shows and she and the company would love to see you there!
