Gwen Hawdon (Sea Creature / Animal / Chef)

Gwen Hawdon has always had a love for the performing arts. Her favorites include singing, playing guitar, dancing, and acting. Gwen is part of the women’s chorale at BHS, where she will be starting her junior year in the fall. While she starred in many self written and directed “plays” at an early age, she first took to the stage at age 7. The last four years she spent her summers at a Shakespeare camp where she played many parts including lady McBeth and Ophelia. She recently played the lead in New River Stage’s Decision Heights, played guitar in the pit of Blacksburg High’s Mama Mia, and Ruth in the Senior Directed one act Digging Up the Boys. The Little Mermaid is her first musical, and she’s having a wonderful time. She loves the show and can’t wait for everyone to see it.
