The ultimate gizmo-gadget guy

Gordo is always on the cutting edge of technology and is a lifetime subscriber to Popular Science. He has multiple computers and a “command central” set up in his room. His love of the simple logic of zeros and ones often frustrates him when it comes to irrational people.  He can get annoyed easily, which contributes to his already socially awkward nature. His fix-it knowledge is vast when it comes to electrical circuits and computer chips, but he will never be mechanical or greasy in any way.

He loves a clear plan, but can’t bring himself to be spontaneous. He assumes he is the smartest person in the room.

Gordo is played by Ty Hanni, a staff member of The Bridge.

 

A hyperactive budding filmmaker

Tyler is never seen without his camera and is constantly concerned with how an event will fit into a documentary or new film idea. He’s a huge movie fan and student. He knows lines and trivia about movies he wishes he could have made.

His artistic eye is not limited to the medium of film. He brings an out-of-the-box style to everything he touches. He can be a journalist, an inventor, and a good counselor at times. His unique gifts alternately mask and reveal an ongoing insecurity. He doubts himself often and covers his feelings with a very, very, very corny sense of humor (often inappropriate to the situation.)

Tyler is played by Jake Snider.

 

The nonconformist

Samantha defines her own style. No one is quite sure what the rules for this style are. She is definitely on her own path.  Some may even call her “strange.” Her thought process is always out-of-the-box. She’s considered an outsider in school. She tends to be absent-minded.  She’s all heart and all-caring about the next cause that captures her attention.  Her short attention span keeps her from remembering her moments of social awkwardness. Her mother is a business woman. Her father is a stay-at-home sixties throwback. He supports his daughter’s causes. Sam can quote Cat Stephens, Bob Dylan, and Frank Zappa to deal with nearly any situation.

Sam is played by LaDanna Hanni - Drama Team Co-Leader.

 

Mrs. Gloria Finkenhoeffer

Gordo's mom is also a kind of Mom figure for the whole neighborhood. She is an incredibly imaginative mom, who sometimes entertains the kids in the neighborhood with her wisdom and vision. Above all, she's a cool for a mom. The kids in the clubhouse look to Mrs. F for advice and support.

Mrs. Finkenhoeffer is played by Rhonda Prichard.

 

Adventurous, daredevil, extreme-sports guy

Vinny is mechanically inclined enough to keep his toys running in top condition. He’s ready to try anything. Although he has great difficulty with schoolwork, his teachers all find it impossible not to like him. He’s driven and popular. His adrenaline junkie habits fascinate his friends without alienating them. In fact, he is more often the motivator to call others to action. Skateboarding, base-jumping, rock climbing, rugby, hockey, eco-challenge, rappelling, motocross... are all activities he would participate in.

Vinny is played by Chris Krull - Drama Team Co-Leader.

 

Class president

Cammie is dramatic, but extremely likable. She’s athletic, but involved in a wide range of activities. She knows a lot of people, but has few very close friends. If you need to get it done, she’s the one you look for. She can be spoiled at times.  She’s a little insecure, and feels compelled to be the “good” girl, so she looks for attention by striving for perfection.  An overachiever, she will never settle for “good enough.” From the outside it’s easy to call her perfect. At times the temptation to break out of her image is great, but she just can’t do it. Vinny tends to pull her toward a more relaxed view of life. These small steps feel very radical to her. Her absentee father travels a lot.
Cammie is played by Beth Krull.

 

The quintessential renaissance kid

When he’s passionate about something, it involves his entire body and soul. His entrances are a kid version of Kramer*. You never know what he’s going to be carrying, wearing, or dragging. His expertise is extremely wide ranging. He is a dedicated re-enactor. The exact nature and time of the event being re-enacted doesn’t seem to matter to him. It could be the Batman retrospective, a Renaissance festival, or a Star Trek convention. The event gets his complete passion and focus for the moment. He met Gordo at the chess club and they sparked an instant competition. Marshall says he goes to the school, but nobody ever sees him in class. He has a lot of credits from classes he’s already tested out of. He goes on many self-study field trips.

Marshall is played by Sean Macdonald.

 

Grandpa Henry

Grandpa Henry is everyone's favorite grandpa.  He's great to have around because he's so handy when things break, and most of

the time he knows how to do the right thing.  He loves teaching

others how to apply the virtues they learn at the clubhouse, but

sometimes .......well, let's just say its hard for him to apply ALL

the virtues himself....but it's not beneath him to admit it.

Henry is played by Bob Heimann.
