Josh Olewiler

Josh is a senior at York College majoring in Professional Writing, though his passions lie in his minors of Theatre and Creative Writing. Having written four short plays—featuring characters ranging from the Seven Deadly Sins to Steven Spielberg—performed on stage at York College, Josh has always considered himself more of a writer than an actor. He is currently the public relations intern for York Little Theatre; however, in recent years he has been indulging in some time in the spotlight portraying classic roles such as Claudius, Ebenezer Scrooge, and Indiana Jones.

While he is new to OrangeMite Studios, Josh greatly enjoys working with the other staff and board members and takes tremendous pride in the organization’s achievements. He is always willing to lend a hand wherever one is needed—and when it is not, he just might audition for a show. Contact Josh

Donald Crouse III

Don currently goes to the University of Pittsburgh, studying electrical engineering. He graduated from Dover Area High School in 2006. He and William have been friends ever since elementary school. However, it wasn’t until high school that they worked together to make a production. Don thought of himself as a gateway to make William’s creative ideas possible, and now tries to do the same for OrangeMite.

At a young age, Don became very interested in electricity and electronics. He can usually be found (if his time is not being destroyed by schoolwork) tinkering with a new circuit idea, ripping random electronics apart, or playing with a new computer program. He also loves hanging out with friends, waterskiing, and camping. Check out Donny's website: www.ionicfire.com

Don currently helps manage anything that needs to be constructed, whether it be a musical/play set, or if a piece of equipment breaks. He also tries to help with the film department whenever it is necessary.

While he is adept in music performance and analysis, having studied it all through high school and parts of college, you will probably not see him performing in any theatre for OrangeMite, for his acting skills are nearly non-existent. Contact Donny
