Highlands’ Own Teen Angels
Written By: Lindsay Garner Hostetler, Director of Marketing and Outreach, Mountain Theatre Company | Issue: May 2024
A pair of seasoned performers will carry the role of Teen Angel in Mountain Theatre Company’s production of Grease, slated for June 5-22.
Scott Daniel and Emanuel Carrero
Mountain Theatre Company has found its Teen Angels for their upcoming summer production of Grease. Yes, that’s Angels, plural!
Scott Daniel and Emanuel Carrero will each make a cameo appearance performing the iconic song, “Beauty School Dropout,” in the show which opens on June 5.
Daniel and Carrero moved to the Highlands area in 2021 and have become local favorites on the Mountain Theatre Company stage. Audiences have come to know Daniel, MTC’s Executive Artistic Director, from his energetic curtain speeches before most performances. He was last seen on stage in MTC’s 2021 limited run engagement of Scott & Patti’s Holiday Spectacular, but this will mark his MTC debut in a mainstage season. Daniel will also serve as the director for this production of Grease.
Local audiences know Carrero from his star-making role of Frankie Valli in both the 2022 and 2023 MTC productions of Jersey Boys. Audiences fell in love with his pure falsetto and electrifying performance. He has also been seen on the MTC stage in Home for the Holidays (2022 and 2023) and Music in Motion (2021). Carrero also serves on MTC’s admin team as Company Manager.
Daniel and Carrero will perform the role in repertory, with each actor appearing in select performances. A performance schedule will be listed on the show’s webpage for fans who want to make sure to see each actor’s portrayal of the iconic role.
“Having been in the audition rooms and curating the talent for this show, I know firsthand what remarkable talents this cast holds,” says Daniel. “I am very excited to perform on stage with this amazing group of performers. Highlands is going to be blown away by the triple-threat talent of this whole cast.” Carrero notes that he “can’t wait to return to the MTC stage where the Highlands audience has been so enthusiastic.” He added, “I just hope I don’t fall down that massive staircase!”
Grease will run June 5 – 22 this summer, kicking off Mountain Theatre Company’s 2024 Season at the Highlands Performing Arts Center, where they are the resident professional theatre company.
