Ariel Crowder (Dominique Du Monaco/Ensemble) is beyond grateful to have this opportunity to work with Flint Repertory Theatre again since performing with FYT (Flint Youth Theatre) as a young performer. Now, she’s performing in this combined production, representing her school as well! She is studying at UM-Flint for her BFA degree, majoring in Theatre while double minoring in musical theatre and dance. Her recent productions from 2025 include UM-Flint’s Twelfth Night as “Maria” and their musical, A Year with Frog and Toad as “Turtle” and “Young Frog.” Ariel has been performing from a young age, starting at the age of four. She has danced for sixteen years at FIM, studying all forms of dance. She has also done theatre for twelve years, including productions with FYT as well as starring in her high school productions all four years at Powers Catholic High School. As always, she’d like to thank God, her family, friends, and professors at UM-Flint for the blessings of their endless love and support throughout her beautiful journey!
