Shah is excited to make his return to the stage in this year's Kismet production of Murder at the Vicarage. After a decade dedicated to military service in the U.S. Army and studying Sustainable Development at Columbia University, Shah is finally putting his dreams first. Driven by a deep passion for sustainability and serving his community, he made the decision to step back into the craft for the first time since high school, formally restarting his journey at ATC in Clifton, New Jersey, in January 2026. Shah is deeply grateful to the director, cast, and crew for this incredible opportunity, and to his friends and family for their support as he takes on this next chapter.

She previously appeared with Kismet in House on Haunted Hill and Woe! Misery! Children’s Theatre!, and is especially excited to return for her second collaboration with playwright Michael Susko.

She is grateful to Kismet for continuing to welcome her into its creative community and is delighted to be back onstage with this talented cast and team.

Lettice Pretheroe

Sneha is absolutely thrilled to make her official stage debut with Murder at the Vicarage. While no stranger to performing, bringing a creative background in classical Indian dance and music, stepping into a featured role marks an exhilarating next step in her artistic journey! A proud New Jersey native, Sneha attended Rutgers University for both her undergraduate and graduate degrees, during which time she also sang in the Rutgers Voorhees Choir. When she isn't under the theater lights, she is usually midnight baking, café hopping, photosynthesizing with friends, or studying for her licensing exam. Sneha sends a huge thank you to her family and friends for their endless support, and to her ATC studio instructors for the guidance that helped her reach this stage. She is deeply grateful to the brilliant director and cast for making this process unforgettable and is thankful for the opportunity to bring Lettice to life!

She studied acting with Maren Sugarman at ATC Studios, where she trained in scene study, monologue work, introductory acting, and Shakespeare.
