6. What have been some difficulties with your role or in rehearsal?
“I’ve been paraphrasing my lines frequently. I hate to say it, but a lot of the lines in the script don’t flow like I want them to. I haven’t changed them up too much, but having to remember all the changes in punctuation and slightly different word choices is exhausting. That’s all kind of my fault though, to be honest.”
7. How has this experience affected you and your high school experience?
“My grades have certainly been affected! Jokes aside though, it’s really made my high-school life so much more fulfilling. I wouldn’t have met my best friend without it, and I wouldn’t be having nearly as much fun!”

8. What should audiences be excited about?
“Audiences should be excited for a heartfelt show about growing up. It features all the joys and wonders of childhood, with a few of the less enjoyable parts mixed in. When you watch this show, you’ll remember a simpler time when you were three feet tall and couldn’t read.”
