All In The Family!

 

Jensen Swopes has been quite busy over the past 6 months.  She was cast as the female lead, Arlene Zane, in "Don't Rock the Boat" and also as the female lead, Ma Hereford, in "Hankerin' Hillbillies," both with the Helen Stairs Jr. Repertory Company in Sanford.  She had ensemble roles in Oklahoma and Cinderella with the Helen Stairs Adult Repertory Company as well.  She booked the Bealls Holiday 06 commercial which filmed in Jacksonville, Florida in October.  She recently shot a national commercial in St. Petersburg, Florida for ESPN for Little League Softball which will air in February. 

 

Remy Swopes, Jensen's sister, is following in her big sister's footsteps.  She was cast as Pirate Rose in "Don't Rock the Boat" and as Maggie Hereford in "Hankerin' Hillbillies"  both with the Helen Stairs Jr. Repertory Company in Sanford.  She was cast as young Cinderella and as a mouse in "Cinderella" with the Helen Stairs Adult Repertory Company.  In October she booked print work with Harcourt and shot a "Better People" video at Northland Church.  Over the holidays she was cast as a "Kid Host" at Sea World and did a shoot with the Marine Sanctuaries Director from NOAA.

 

Eldon Swopes, father of Jensen and Remy, and also a past graduate of The Maile School of Acting and Modeling has been joining his daughters in their love of acting and theatre.  He performed in Oklahoma with Jensen in an ensemble role.  He was then cast as the male lead, Prince Claude, in Cinderella.  He can be seen in the Man of La Mancha this February 2 - 11 at the Helen Stairs Theatre in Sanford.

STAR TALENT

Brittany McDaniel is at it again!  Brittany just  got back from Nashville where  she was recording  her very own album.  The only "cover song" she recorded was a live recording of Tricia Yearwood's "Walk Away Joe".  She sang while Lee Turner (from the Nashville Star TV show) accompanied her on a baby grand piano.  They had allotted three days for the recording but where so pleased with Brittany that they finished in just one day!
