Jonikka loves music: playing the piano, singing in choirs, musicals at church, bands, orchestra, solo and ensemble and live productions. She currently lives in Nine Mile with her husband Grant and three sweet children Emily, Megan and Mark. Jonikka enjoys teaching kids and sharing the gift of music with others. Jonikka is especially grateful to be part of such a warm, wonderful community of kindred spirits who love God deeply, care for each other and work hard developing character, integrity and confidence.

Presley DuPuis is a proud CYT graduate who flipped over to the grown-up side and hasn't looked back since North Idaho first staged production, Snow White, in 2008 (playing the Magic Mirror). He has gone from being the kid who would play the piano backstage that he wasn't allowed to touch, to a full-fledged accompanist. Over the past decade he has worn many different hats in various CYT leadership roles including teacher, music director, director, pit musician, HYPE adviser, and improv coach. Presley holds his Bachelor of Arts in Music from Eastern Washington University and serves as the resident music director for Aspire Community Theatre while also maintaining his own private music studio where he instructs in both voice and piano. He can always be found playing, teaching, and collaborating with local community theatres, schools, universities, and choirs.
