BFA CLASS OF 2024 ACTORS
Bjorn Bolinder – Find the Light Photography
Da'Von Angelo (he/him)
BIO: What’s smoother than satin and slicker than silk? None other than Da’Von Angelo himself. Like his favorite beer, he likes living the high life by enjoying it to its fullest. Da’Von loves to jam out to music or dive in the nearest swimming pool. You can find him curled up rewatching Scarface or the Scream Franchise when he isn’t out living it up.
FUN FACT: I am left-handed.
Bjorn Bolinder – Find the Light Photography
Casey Casimir (he/him)
BIO: Casey Casimir has never understood. We don’t know if he will figure it out, but we are all holding out hope. All he does is play guitar, do bad bits, and lie to anyone who asks about his height and age. Employ this man! You’ve never realized people like this can exist!
FUN FACT: I spent the summer living in Italy with a very sweet elderly woman named Mila and her two cats. Then I witnessed one of the cats give birth to two live kittens and one not-so-alive kitten. On my bed… I had a blast!

Jason Diers (he/him)
BIO: Jason Diers is an actor from Fargo, ND. His first introduction to acting was in his big sister’s self-produced Christmas plays they put on for their parents. When he’s not acting, you can find him training martial arts, petting a dog, cooking, or making a Spotify playlist.
FUN FACT: I have a pet dove.
Bjorn Bolinder – Find the Light Photography
Jake Diller (he/him)
BIO: Jake is an actor from Sherman, Connecticut. When he is not acting, you might see him strolling around in nature, inventing recipes for drinks or sauces, writing some music, or playing an elaborate game. After graduation, he will be moving to the NYC metro area.
FUN FACT: I am a multi-instrumentalist and singer/songwriter.
Bjorn Bolinder – Find the Light Photography
Grace Feidt (she/her)
BIO: While she loves all theater, Grace has a special place in her heart for Willy Shakes and is currently attempting to read her way through the entirety of Shakespeare’s canon. When not thinking about theater, Grace is an avid reader and baker (just ask her about her focaccia recipe). Grace cannot wait to trade upstate for downstate and move to New York City to pursue a career in theater.
FUN FACT: I love independent bookstores! Whenever I stumble across one, I just have to go in and (usually) buy a book or two. I love to see what selection these stores have to offer.

Eric Scott Golovan (he/him)
BIO: Eric Scott is an actor from Cleveland, Ohio. He grew up in a large Jewish family and truly embraces his summer camp energy at all times. When not working on theatre projects, he can be found on the bike in spin class, browsing the aisles of Trader Joe’s, quoting every episode of Spongebob, or cooking up some matzah ball soup.
FUN FACT: When I was 16 years old, Jason Mraz gave me a high-five on the set of The Today Show.

Ava Spinelli Mastrone (she/her)
BIO: Ava has a song in her heart and breakfast on her mind. Originally from Stamford, CT, she grew up with her triplet sisters and was raised by her very Italian parents. Not only did her parents inspire her to eat pasta and talk with her hands, but they also bestowed upon her their love of theatre. When she’s not acting on stage, Ava enjoys making charcuterie boards, watching Jersey Shore or Love Island, promenading through the neighborhood, and drinking iced coffee!
FUN FACT: I am a triplet!
Bjorn Bolinder – Find the Light Photography
Michael Shoultz (he/him)
BIO: Michael is by far the littlest guy in all of the BFA. When he’s not acting, he’s probably writing, directing, or producing something. When he’s not doing that, there’s a good chance he’s playing high-stakes games of Mario Kart with his roommates or going on a rant about how good Lord of the Rings is. Michael is also a member of the Dramatists Guild.
FUN FACT: I earned my Associate’s degree before graduating high school.
Bjorn Bolinder – Find the Light Photography
Ruah Uhlman (she/her)
BIO: Ruah, meaning spirit, has been living up to her name since the day she started her own theatre company in the backyard. Raised in Seattle, WA, Ruah spent her childhood hiking, biking, and skiing in the mountains. When not outside or in the theatre, Ruah can be found doing her little crafts and activities, such as collaging, knitting, thrifting, and making up new words.
FUN FACT: I spent a month in Spain backpacking the Camino de Santiago solo this past summer!

BIO: Once upon a time, in a hole in the ground lived Aaron Warrow, the littlest guy in the BFA. When he isn’t going on an acting adventure, you can find him rolling high in a D&D game, dancing around the kitchen when no one is around, and playing Spelunky with his housemates.
FUN FACT: I have taught rats how to play basketball.
Bjorn Bolinder – Find the Light Photography
Cassie White (she/her)
BIO: Cassie is an actor from Chantilly, VA, who loves to travel, try new coffee shops, listen to true crime podcasts, and dance like a silly goose when not performing. Cassie loves to make people laugh and usually accomplishes that by being clumsy. She is super excited about any opportunity presented for her to perform!
FUN FACT: I once flew out of a trampoline.
