He has previously been a cast member in two productions and a co-director for two other productions.

Erica Boylan

Associate Director

__________________________

Erica started as a volunteer in Anchorless Productions three years ago, which led to directing. She has since directed two shows and is looking forward to future involvement in directing and producing shows with Anchorless Productions.

Caroline Kiely

Board Member

Caroline began volunteering at Anchorless Productions two years ago during her freshman year at Mira Costa High School. She has volunteered for two shows and is so excited to be directing a show in the fall.

Hayden Asiano

Board Member

__________________________

Hayden is a relatively new member in the Anchorless family. When he got his first taste doing tech last year for Beauty and the Beast, he couldn’t get enough. He was moved by the impact he could have within a community that is commonly left behind. He is currently a sophomore at Mira Costa High School, and is honored to be starting his first directing role at Anchorless this fall.
