Erika Fasselt

Erika Fasselt is so excited to be bringing this amazing show to the stage once again. She is honored to have had the opportunity to choreograph it for the second time as well as reprise her role as Capezio, the dance Newsie. Erika joined Lolek’s in 2011. Her previous stage roles with Lolek’s include The Scarecrow in The Wizard of Oz (2013 & 2017) and Peter in Peter Pan (2023). She also has the honor of having co-wrote Lolek’s original musical, Kansas. When she is not working onstage she is living her other dream teaching high school drama and literature. It has been the greatest honor for Erika to have had the opportunity to be a part of this amazing community and there really are no words to express the gratitude she has for this indescribable gift! She would like to thank all her fellow cast and crew for always giving their all and being so uplifting and joyful, her parents and family for always supporting her and making Lolek’s a part of their family, and finally her director and long-time friend, Dani, for being God’s instrument and creating a community that has changed so many lives in more ways than she will ever know. If you remember to do anything after seeing this show, remember to pray for Dani and everyone here at Lolek’s and to thank God for the wonderful gift that it has been in our lives and in this community. “Lord, we thank you for the time we have had and we ask that your Love and your Grace will carry on in the lives of everyone here today. In Jesus’ name. Amen!” St John Paul II, pray for us! Newsies Forever!!
