TAVEN BLANKE* (Billy) is beyond excited to make his debut at The Goodspeed with such a talented group of performers. Taven’s passion for musical theater and dance began at the age of 8.

He would like to thank all the wonderful people that have supported and mentored him, including Allison Horner, John Hay, Jennifer Johns, Jimmy Larkin, Shannon Kane, Tim Nelson, his sister Timari, and his dog Prince. Special thanks to everyone at Goodspeed for this exciting opportunity! This performance is dedicated to all little boys with a love for dance!

Re: Taven Blanke: Billy - Goodspeed
little Taven is a diamond in the rough. He did a very credible performance. He had all his lines down pat and appeared to be concentrating on where he should be on stage next. He looked a bit nervous at first but that soon disappeared. By the end of his performance he was comfortable enough to be more animated and I expect that he will improve with every performance. He is a real trooper
