“I am a girl who has had a fair amount of sex for my age, with a fair amount of men, and one woman. I am lucky, in that I pretty much always enjoyed myself, even with the shit ones. And that’s a good thing. I think that should be celebrated, not punished.”
Scarlet. Tonight. It’s your last chance and I am very confident that you will not regret seeing it. #ScarletSLC #UtahTheater

Cast Information
The Actors
Hailey Nebeker (SCARLET) was last seen in the role of Harper in ANGELS IN AMERICA (An Other Theatre Company). She hates writing bios as much as she hates spiders and calling people on the phone. She has been a performer on stage for the last 22 years and finds it is the one thing that makes Utah living bearable. Creating is her life force and creating with this amazing group of women has been a dream.
Kat Hawley (SCARLET) is a student in Utah Valley University’s Bachelor of Fine Arts Program for Musical Theatre. She is passionate about many things: baking, sunshine, clean sheets, drinking tea on rainy days, and oh yes, theatre. Starting with Missoula Children’s Theatre at the age of seven, her love of music and performance has blossomed into her life mission. She is happily singing and dancing her way to her degree. Inspired by the many strong and graceful women in this production, she plans to continue her life on the stage paying forward all the love, laughs, and creative inspiration they have provided her.
Merry Magee (SCARLET) is a Westminster College graduate with a BFA in Theatre Performance. Recent credits include SPARKS FLY UPWARD (SLAC); ION (Classical Greek Theatre Festival); ROMEO AND JULIET, LOVE’S LABOUR’S LOST (Grassroots Shakespeare Company); Titus Andronicus (Pinnacle Acting Company); TRAIN TRACKS… (Flying Bobcat/Sackerson); BURN (Sackerson); AMADEUS (Utah Rep); STRANGERS LOVERS FAMILY FRIENDS, RESOLVED (Company of Cohorts); and LUNA GALE (Westminster College). Merry is thrilled to be working with the Sackerson cohort again. Look forward to seeing Merry this summer in WOMEN OF TRACHIS with the Classical Greek Theatre Festival.
Whitney Black (SCARLET) is a freshman at Utah Valley University where she is pursuing a BFA in Acting. She is ecstatic to be a member of the SCARLET cast and has found it to be one of her favorite shows she ever has the privilege to be a part of. When Whitney isn’t on stage, you’ll find her up in the tech booth, calling the show as a stage manager, which is another passion of hers, along with reading, drinking good coffee, and snuggling with her dog Bentley (AKA Bubbers). A quick thank you to my wonderful mother and the tremendous support I receive from her every day, as well as the incredible creative team of SCARLET, I couldn’t have done it without you! Thank you.
