Mr. Hoglan is the school play's director. He casts Brenda as a kooky sister to Alison's main character. Brenda resents Mr. Hoglan saying that she does not have the right look to play the star of the show, and when the Caretaker directs her to insult him, she does so with relish. Mr. Hoglan responds to the insults by removing Brenda from the play altogether. We learn at the end of the novel that Brenda is asked to sing at the school graduation and is accompanied on piano by Mr. Hoglan.
