Where are they now?

Jeremiah Ulufanua joined PACK with very little experience in theatre. He auditioned for Disney’s Peter Pan back in 2015, where  he played the role of Chief Tiger Bamboo. From there he got to learn and hone in on his craft with the likes of Elika Santos, Meagan Olson, Rachelle Amparo and Leslea White. He’d fallen more and more in love with theatre and the stage. From late 2017 into early 2018, Jeremiah performed with PACK in The Lion King Jr, having played Scar. In Spring of 2021, Jeremiah had the opportunity to CoDirect a school production of High School Musical with R. Amparo as a mentor, here he fell in love with directing! Now, Jeremiah is a part of the Performing and Visual Arts Program at University of Northern Colorado on his way to earning his BFA in Musical Theatre.

I found my way to PACK in my Junior year of high school and started my journey with getting the role of “Babette” in “Beauty and the Beast.” I continued on, being a part of the PACK showings of “Newsies” as “Seitz”, and “Shrek the Musical” as the role of a “Duloc Guard.” From the cast, to the crew, to the people who run the shows, they all made me feel so welcomed in their theatre family. Joining PACK will forever be one of the greatest decisions I have ever made and hold some of the best memories I’ve ever had. Now I continue to pursue my love for music, learning new things and writing songs of my own. Along with that, I now do what I love, working with children at Barbers Point Elementary School. I’m proud to be a part of PACK alumni, but if I could, I’d relive every moment I had with this community.

Rache's first show was Seussical way back in 2006 and she continued to make PACK her home throughout her elementary, Middle and High school years. She did countless shows with PACK. She is currently signed with the Hawai’i Best Talent and Model Agency in hopes for a change in direction into acting for film. But this does not mean she has lost her love for the theater. While participating in all that community theater has to offer in the islands, she hopes to move forward soon to California, New York or wherever the spotlight may take her.
