At 7 years old and a second grader in Chesapeake, this is Stormie’s third professional theater role. She performed as Bielke in VSCs Fiddler on the Roof and as Gretl in the Virginia Arts Festival and Virginia Opera’s production of The Sound of Music and several productions with The Hurrah Players. She is an enthusiastic and disciplined student and would like to thank everyone at Hurrah, Ms. Dianna, Ms. Candice, her NYC coaches, dance instructors, family, and her older sister, who is currently Annie in the Broadway National Tour of Annie, for showing her what life in musical theater is all about. @stormietrev "

"Other familiar local actors — Matt Friedman as Mordcha the innkeeper, John K. Cauthen as the rabbi, Scott Rollins as the constable — plus a lively handful of child actors (Gavin and Jasper Gayer, Ellie Madelyn Ruffing and Stormie Treviño) round out some of the large cast."
"Stormie Treviño (Gretl von Trapp) is a 6-year-old Kindergartener at Southeastern Elementary in Chesapeake. Stormie has grown up in the footsteps of her older sister Rainey, singing and dancing since she could speak. Stormie began formal training this past year with The Hurrah Players, The Academy of Classical and Contemporary Dance, and voice with Dianna Swenson. The Sound of Music will be her first professional acting credit."
