Jordan Todd Brown

(Greechner/Gizmo) Oh, hey! It's me, Jordan! You probably recognize me from this musical you're watching. I'm the short one. This is Jordan's 3rd year in the Pickleville Christmas show. Some of his past roles include Thenardier in Les Miserables, Orin Scrivello D.D.S. in Little Shop of Horrors, and "Big Guns" Bo Garrett in Pickleville's Who Shot Juanito Bandito? When he's not busy "getting his elf on," you'll find him playing improv with Hilarity House (in Ogden) & Logan Out Loud (in Logan... hence the name) or serving delicious food at Savannah's BBQ! "I hope you enjoy the show. Merry Christmas!"

 

Christian Hobbs

(Courier/Jiggy) an 18-year-old freshman, recently left his farm in Franklin, Idaho to come to Utah State University and continue his passion for learning and leadership while serving as a Utah State Ambassador.

The Pickleville Christmas show has been an annual tradition for Christian and his family for many years, and he never dreamed that one day he would join his favorite elves up on the stage. Christian is grateful to the Davis family for allowing him to pursue his love of performing in such a positive and uplifting environment.
