MEET THE 2025-2026 FALCON PLAYHOUSE BOARd!
President
Roshen Pillay (he/him)
Senior
Since 8th grade, Falcon Playhouse has been my home away from home. Theater is such a magical and transformative art form, and I have grown to enjoy every second of it, whether that be on or backstage. I am so grateful for the connections and friendships I have made here, and I am honored to serve my second term as the Falcon Playhouse President for the 25-26 season. As president, it is my job to continue to promote and encourage the warm, welcoming environment we have at the playhouse. I also take care of many management jobs, keep the board running smoothly, plan various events, and push the playhouse in new directions, so we can continue to push the boundaries of what is possible in youth theater. When not acting or teching Falcon Playhouse shows, I enjoy studying engineering, rock climbing, reading feminist literature, drinking matcha, and thrifting single stitch vintage t-shirts.
VICE President
Jett Tamayo (he/him)
Senior
Hello! I’m Jett Tamayo, and I’m thrilled to finish my time in the Falcon Playhouse as its Vice President. I’m here to be a voice of the people, along with assisting our President in keeping all of the meetings, activities, and events running smoothly. Outside of the board room, you can find me singing and dancing on stage, writing the plot for my next DND session, or asking people if they’ve played Outer Wilds (the greatest game of all time). This playhouse is truly something special, and I can’t wait to be a part of it one last time.
SECRETARY
Sophia Olegorio (she/her)
Junior
Hi! I’m Sophia, a junior at Scripps and this year’s secretary. As secretary, I manage taking notes during the weekly meetings and make sure the board members accomplish what has been discussed during them. Although it’s my first year on board and my role functions within the meetings, I want to push the playhouse’s boundaries by creating workshops to develop an artist's craft in both acting and tech while fostering its welcoming community. Outside of theatre, I love to sing, rollerblade, or read mystery crime books. Yet, theatre is a passion I want to pursue as a career and the playhouse is what convinced me to follow my dreams! I’m so excited for this year’s season!!!
TREASURER
Emma Lund (she/her)
Junior
Having started theatre from a young age, I have always felt welcomed from my peers. Having taken both tech theatre in the past and theatre in the present, I like to help out whenever possible. Aside from theatre, I am interested in Formula 1, Baseball, and Hockey. I also like to listen to music, read, and knit. I do Karate and love my guinea pig, Brian. I hope to have much fun with the 2025-2026 season and more amazing experiences with theatre!
Publicists

As a publicist, I help manage our social media pages and contribute to spreading the word about our productions in the community! I’m passionate about connecting people to the arts and keeping everyone informed and excited about what’s happening at the Playhouse. In my free time, I love swimming, going to the gym, and dancing! Dance is one of my favorite ways to express myself, and I especially enjoy learning new styles and growing as a performer. I also love listening to music—especially Gracie Abrams, Taylor Swift, and Mac Miller. I’m looking forward to another amazing season ahead!

I have been involved in every production since my freshman year. I am incredibly excited for the upcoming shows and to contribute as a board member, serving as one of the publicists in collaboration with Kara. My goal is to elevate our social media presence further, get the word out there, ensure all theater information is presented clearly throughout our website, and more. Over these past years, I have been multitasking, having experience in both tech and acting. I am thrilled for another amazing year and can’t wait for the many new memories the future holds!

Ella Sterling (she/her)
Junior
Hi! I’m so excited to take on the role of Historian and be a part of the Falcon Playhouse for one more year. I’ve been doing shows here since my freshman year as an actor and a technician, and the experience has been nothing short of wonderful. I especially love being onstage along with my cast mates to tell stories and inspire others through the art of theater. Outside of performing, I like to read, do gymnastics, listen to music, and spend time with my friends. As a Historian, I get to hone my creativity to display the Playhouse’s past achievements, productions, and alumni while also capturing the essence of and documenting the present. I am very passionate about making new memories and creating the same safe space in the theater that I have found through this playhouse!

I am a Junior and the Improv Representative for the 2025 - 2026 school year! Theater has been a passion of mine for so long. I have been doing shows since I was in fourth grade. Theater is what I spend most of my time doing, but besides that, I like to draw, listen to music, read, and bake. As Improv Rep I am so excited to lead and improve our improv team this year. I’ve been on improv the past two years and I love the comedic element of it. I truly believe improv is a beautiful way to bring people together and my goal as improv rep is to bring people together, both in our house and on our stage.
