Whiz Kid's Key to Awesomeness:  

Isabella Cartularo first came to The Play Group Theatre (PGT) in the Spring of 2011 when she participated in PGT’s Young Actors Ensemble.

Although she has performed in her school plays in the past, she admits that she was a little nervous to register for a program in a new place where she didn’t know anyone. She bravely took the risk and it has paid off in numerous ways.

She made many friends in her first season at PGT and says she is constantly in touch with them. 

This summer, Isabella attended PGT Summer camp for six weeks in the Mainstage program.  Her cast of 22 students rehearsed for their show Zombie Prom, as well as attended classes in acting, musical theatre, dance, Shakespeare, Ensemble Building, Stage Combat and more.  

Isabella’s work on stage and off has been full of positive energy with a true ensemble spirit.  She is an amazing listener, and always shares thoughtful and insightful words in cast discussions.  She has clearly taken advantage of every moment during her two seasons.
