Ember “Smudge” Draffin (Artistic Director) is ecstatic to be directing her second MoveAbout show this year! She is a Senior at Lowell High School and performed in MoveAbout’s 2019 production of Much Ado About Nothing. She has been a part of Lowell’s Advanced Drama program since her sophomore year, and has participated in many productions both with Lowell Drama and other companies, including as Lost Boy #1 in Peter/Wendy, Emily in Chatroom, and Queen Gertrude in Hamlet. She also wrote, directed, and produced her own Shakespeare-inspired show her freshman year.



Isidore Lu (Lead Management) is stoked to be managing his second MoveAbout show this year! Currently a Senior at Lowell High School, he has previously performed in MoveAbout’s 2019 production of Much Ado About Nothing, Lowell’s 2021 production of A Midsummer Night's Dream as Demetrius, 2019's Peter/Wendy as Peter, and 2018's Daughters of Atreus as Orestes’s Past. In his sophomore year, he was a part of Lowell’s Advanced Drama program. He has also been involved in productions with the San Francisco Ballet, including its annual production of Nutcracker, Don Quixote, Swan Lake, and Yuri Possokhov’s Swimmer.

Her short film, The Baker’s Remorse, was a finalist in the Roxie Theatre’s 2020 Mixtape-in-Place Film Festival.
