Victor Haycock (He/him) is a trans performing artist based out of Salt Lake City, Utah. He grew up attending a dance school where he learned from prestigious instructors from ballet west, NYC Ballet, and professional commercial artists. He graduated with his degree in theatre arts, and is now pursuing a degree in Gender studies with an emphasis on Queer and disability studies. Victor is competitive dancer, holding multiple titles and awards. His love of dance evolved into a passion for theater because his mom lovingly forced him into musicals as a child (thanks mom, you were right). He has trained and performed internationally as an aerialist and contortionist. Some of his favorite past credits include Franz in Rock of Ages, Marie in Home of Truth, and multiple Salt Lake Fringe Festival shows. He is so honored to bring this show to life with the best cast mates ever.
Jim Martin has an MFA in theatre arts from the University of Idaho at Moscow, where he continues to take classes to keep his knowledge and skills fresh. Jim started Wasatch in 1997 and continues as the Executive Director to this day. He has directed numerous shows including King James, The Final Act, and JQA. Jim dedicates this performance to his amazing 88 year-old dad (also named Jim), his son Jayden, his two dogs, and his two cats for all their sacrifices.
