Mallory Wu
Mallory Wu started performing in high school when her then-best friend Jeannie Occhiogrosso forced her to join the drama club. Her soul was sold from then on and she eventually weaseled her way into the NJ theatre scene when she was so desperate to play Wednesday that she auditioned for SVP’s production of The Addams Family in 2014. She’s repped across the board by IANY and has appeared in over 30 commercials with an occasional TV appearance. She’s an actor first but boy does she love to attempt to carry a tune in a paper bag. Her favorite role to date is Gaston in her all-girls’ high school production of Beauty and the Beast. Thank you Danny for likely hearing her sing once and henceforth being bamboozled into selecting her as a performer here tonight.

Zach Love
Zach Love is thrilled to be a part of such a monumental evening celebrating the accomplishment of some of his closest friends through an evening of music. Zach is currently at the head of the Rahway High School Theatre Department as Theatre Director for three major productions throughout the year. On the other side of the theatrical coin, Zach also performs on the professional and community level throughout NJ, NY, and PA, with some favorite credits including The Hunchback of Notre Dame(Quasimodo), Lippa’s The Wild Party(Burrs), Rock of Ages(Lonny), and How to Succeed….Without Really Trying w/Frankie Grande(Bud Frump). A couple of thank you’s to Danny and Brian for creating a night of professional high quality performance quite literally in their backyard, for the rest of the family and friends who continue to come to ridiculous things like these and prove why the arts are important, for Rachel for all the Love I Get to Say. Oh, and Zach does happen to hold a major role in a new and exciting endeavor, but you’ll just have to wait to hear about that tonight. Instagram: @zloveee TikTok: @zloveee39

Professionally, Adrienne is most often found in a laboratory daylighting as a Mad Scientist. She is honored to be a part of this performance and part of the announcement for Petty Love Productions. She wishes the Petty and the Loves the best with their new endeavor, and hopes you enjoy your evening

Rachel Love
Rachel Love is thrilled to be appearing in this soiree! She was last seen as Dina in Schoolhouse Rock Live! She has performed throughout the state, most recently The Wedding Singer (Linda), 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee (Logainne Schwartzandgrubenierre), and Legally Blonde (Paulette). When she isn't on a stage (or behind a zoom meeting), she hangs with the cool kids in high school teaching Special Education. Special Thanks to Daniel for this insane night, Brian for controlling the dogs since I am a scaredy cat, my friends and family for coming to this show I said was taking place in a backyard, and Zach for bearing the elements with me. Onto the next adventure which you may hear a little bit about tonight- stay tuned!
