AZRA JOSEPH MARSH
It shouldn't necessarily be a surprise that Arza has ended up in the performing arts, since his parents actually met during a production of "A Christmas Carol" at the Promised Valley Playhouse in Salt Lake City, but it took him until high school to fall in love with the theatre. After taking on the roles of King Sextimus in "Once Upon a Mattress", and Orin Scrivello in "Little Shop of Horrors", among others in high school, Arza had an unexpectedly long 6 year hiatus from theatre as he prepared for, and served a mission, but now is beyond excited to return to the world of the theatre with one of his all-time favorite shows in "The Pirates of Penzance".
