Victoria Provost also goes by Shprinkles. She is rarely seen without her grey Newsies cap. You can find her in the Alcove, in line for a cheese-and-tomato quesadilla, at Acting Improv, Bad Acting Appreciation, Rocky rehearsal, and/or Talent Show rehearsal. She could have done 12.1, but she didn't because of reasons. You should visit her in Pennsylvania, where there is nothing but mushrooms, corn, and freaky cows.
Victoria is the squirrel child of Megan Huber and Spencer McClung, and the squirrel mother of Annie Gleiberman, Theo Avedisian, and Jack Frey. She is the most die-hard die-hardy theatre kid to ever swing a glowstick. It is entirely possible that she is the first CTYer ever to get their driver's license while attending a session of CTY (if you know of an exception to this, please let her know). Nico Vallone messaged her first once.
Victoria loves talking to forevermores for primary sources on the beginnings of traditions. She does this mostly to track down the origins of various things (such as the Lanyard Stack and Coconuts). If you want to contact her to talk or share a memory or just nerd out, shoot her a message or email her at shprinkles@gmail.com.

Last Supper
Hello everyone! I’m Victoria, or Shprinkles. I’m a Blammo Goddess.
I never thought I would be a Blammo Goddess. The irony is that I'm awful at Blammo. Before this year, I'd never gotten a single one of my targets, until Oliver made sure that happened. And of course, during the Purge, I blammoed 42 of you in one day! I'd never really cared about playing before, but then I learned the satisfaction that is getting your target. Bottom line: don't knock something at CTY until you've tried it. I got into KIVO quesadillas and raving in the same way.
That said, Blammo is definitely not even close to being the most important thing at CTY. It’s supposed to connect us and maybe give you an opportunity to hang out with someone you wouldn't hang out with otherwise. You shouldn’t spend every minute figuring out who your target is and checking activity boards. The same goes for raving, or foursquare, or Pokēmon Go. You see these people once a year, if that. Look around at their faces. Listen to what they're saying. Be present in the moment. For crying out loud, put your phones away.
As for having a position- yes, it’s cool. It’s fun. You’ve been asked to take some of CTY’s culture and history onto your shoulders. However, it is first and foremost a huge responsibility, and anyone who will ever have a position should know that it is hard work. You have to dedicate time to it. I definitely lost sleep. They are not prizes or symbols of recognition; they are jobs. All of us chose our successors with that fact in mind. I feel confident that the people who'll be standing up here a year from now are all prepared to take over those jobs.
Some things about tradition in general. Throughout my years here, I've witnessed the rise and fall of many traditions. That's sometimes a sad thing, but it's okay. Things fade, and new ones take their place. Traditions are not validated by those who start them; they’re validated and revalidated every single year by those who choose to continue them.
One last thing. CTY is a pretty sweet space goldfish. Thank you.
Passionfruit
My name is Victoria Provost. I was Shots this year. Do not throw away your shot, Keri McClelland.
I’m still not really sure how I went from the small little girl who would watch movies during dances to the slightly taller girl who would scream the callbacks at the top of her lungs, but it happened somewhere along the way.
In a few years, no one will remember me. People might remember a legacy, but they won’t remember the person who I was. People and traditions come and go, but CTY continues. CTY is going to carry on long after I leave, but that’s up to all of you. Forevermores can advise you and send care packages and write letters, but ultimately, you choose whether or not to continue what we’ve started. We pass CTY on to you. It's more important than any other thing we could pass down. Take care of it.
Most of my friends have progressively nomored out over the last three years, and the majority of my remaining friends are leaving with me. I’m heading into my senior year with no idea what I’m doing with the rest of my life, which is terrifying, but I know that I will have your support and love, and that means everything to me. There have been days when the only thing that got me out of bed was the knowledge that there was Kristin, Ciara, Lily, Ariel, Sophia, Drew, Oliver, David, Spencer, Meg, and a myriad of other people who believed that I could keep going. You all gave that to me.
You gave me the confidence to say that I am smart and beautiful and talented, and to not feel like I am being arrogant when I say those things because I know they are true. You gave me a home when I didn't know I needed one. I am so grateful for that, and for the people I found here who became my family. I don’t know where we’re all going to be ten years from now, but I believe it’s going to be fantastic. If I’ve learned anything, it’s that time and distance will inevitably take more than you’re willing to give up, but they can be conquered if you try. I will always hold this in my heart.
I love squirrels. I love lazy weekend mornings. I love waltzing to 4/4 songs. I love doing the Time Warp again. I love being crushed in the center of Mr. Brightside. I love being a part of the generation lost in space.
I like you, I love you, I CTY you. I love CTY, and I love the passionfruit.
