2. How did you get involved with the production?
I first became involved with drama my freshman year. I tried out for both blackboxes that year called Hallmarks of Horrors and Beasts. Unfortunately Beasts was never performed because that was when covid hit. My sophomore year I was in the musical the Forbidden Cabaret which was my first main stage production. My junior year I wanted to take on the challenge of being in the fall production, A Midsummer Nights Dream, which I was in but I ended up being quarantined two weeks before opening day and I was not able to perform. This year I knew I had to try out to be in Radium Girls and take my final bow in this production.
3. Have you been in any other theatrical productions? If so, what roles did you play?
I was cast in the ensemble for both Hallmarks of Horror and the Forbidden Cabaret. I can’t remember what I was cast as for Beasts, and I was cast as Peaseblossom for Midsummers.
4. What do you most enjoy about being part of the production?
The people. The cast and crew are all such amazing people- so kind and hard working.
5. Who is/are your inspiration(s)? Why?
I’m inspired every day by my peers. The people my age who are also taking on so much and putting everything into the work that they do.
6. What’s your favorite part of the experience of being in the production?
I love getting to know everyone and watching the production come together.
7. What can audience members expect when they see the show?
Expect hair-raising moments. Many of the scenes are so impactful and it’ll be driven deep into the audience.
