Meet the Cast.

In order of appearance

Victor M. Fernández – Pete
Born & raised in Puerto Rico moved to Jamestown, NY in 2016.  My interest in arts & acting began when I was around 12 years old after taking a theater workshop with a professional theater actress & by participating in a tango dance crew organized by my theater teacher.  After high school, I did not have the opportunity to participate in theater again for personal circumstances until I moved to Jamestown. I decided to go back to college & study theater at JCC.  I graduated in Individual Studies taking most of my credits in theater.  I participated in some JCC productions such as "Speech & Debate (backstage)", "Newsies" (goon), "She Kill Monsters" (Monsters & puppeteer), & "West Side Story" (Anxious).
