What’s your favorite time-killer activity during scenes?

“I run and manage most of the technologically related parts of most shows that we do. However, due to my position, there is little time to kill during scenes, as I have to manage audio, lights, and occasionally a projector at any given time.”

What’s your favorite show you’ve worked on?

“I think that the best show I’ve worked on would have to the 2020 fall play, The Brothers Grim Spectaculathon, or whatever it’s called.”

What’s your favorite part about being on crew?

“As for my favorite part of being on crew, I think that it would be the comradery with fellow cast and crewmates.”

Have you made any memorable mistakes while crewing a show?

“Fortunately for me, I have made few mistakes, however, there is a story that Mrs. DeMeester loves to tell about me falling asleep on [alumna] Sutton [Steensma’s] bedpiece during Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat.”

What’s your opinion on the Olivia Rodrigo-Joshua Bassett- Sabrina Carpenter love triangle?

“Finally, luckily for me, I haven’t the faintest clue as to who any of those people are.”
