Estrada, Jensen and Lacaze bring to the stage about 45 years (collectively) of experience in every facet of theater. Estrada, 25, started per- forming at a young age. In 2013, she graduated from the University of Oregon, where she studied theater produc- tion with an emphasis in dramaturgy. Her performing arts experience was devel- oped and impacted greatly by studying modern British the- ater in London. After moving to the North Coast, she stage managed for “Twelfth Night” and “Murder On the Nile” at the Coast Theatre. Jensen, a 25-year-old Port- land native, has been running onto stages and making a spectacle of herself since she was 3 years old. She has con- tinued to do so on the stage of the Coaster Theatre since 2010, where she first appeared as a silly girl in “Annie Get Your Gun.” She’s gone on to play many other silly girls in 14 other productions includ- ing Sally in “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown,” Ra- punzel in “Into the Woods,” Jaqueline De Severac in “Murder on The Nile” and, most recently, the scatter- brained Marsha Gilmore in the Coaster’s production of “Let’s Murder Marsha.” As an elementary-aged child, Lacaze, 25, started writing and acting in plays for her first captive audience: her longsuffering family. Throughout middle and high school, she attended Mis- soula Children’s Theatre’s summer camp for several years and participated in community and school pro- ductions. In her hometown of Kingman, Arizona, she directed six plays, including “The Music Man,” “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown” and “The Importance of Be- ing Earnest.” Since moving to the area in 2014, she has performed in four plays and stage managed for one at the Coaster Theatre. “The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) [Revised]” is produced by special arrange- ment with Broadway Play Publishing. The Coaster Theatre is lo- cated 108 N. Hemlock Street in Cannon Beach.
