April Smith

is thrilled to be returning to the stage in It’s a Wonderful Life! While her acting background started in school productions, life led her down a more “practical” path — though the love of performance never really left. This show marks her first theatrical return in many years, and she’s especially excited to be sharing the experience with her partner, Alex (Mr. Gower/Sam Wainwright), and their biggest fan, their daughter, who is helping behind the scenes. Offstage, April works in data analytics and spends most of her time writing, creating, and convincing her family to join her latest creative obsession.
