Is this your first show with Live Arts?
This is my first time being on stage at Live Arts; however, I played flute for Live Arts Theatre’s “Whistle Down The Wind.”
What is it about High School Confidential that speaks to you as a student and an actor?
I like how High School Confidential keeps it real. In the play you will see a lot of situations that happen everyday in high school and the different characters deal with them in different ways.
Name 2 fun facts about you:
- I have extremely flexible thumbs.
- I have an undying love for fuzzy socks.
What can audiences look forward to with High School Confidential and why should they come see it?
High School Confidential is a realistic glimpse of high school. When you watch this play, you will feel like you are in the high school with the cast. The play is both thought-provoking and hilarious which is going to make for a great show.
What can you relate to in your character?
My character Beth has relationship issues and uses technology as an escape from what’s going on in her life. I think that we can all relate to her because everyone uses social media and other technology to distract themselves.
What excites you the most about High School Confidential?
What excites me most about High School Confidential are the songs. The song writers arranged the songs so that even people who don’t read music very well or who don’t sing well can still achieve the music. That being said, they aren’t easy. We’ve practiced them a lot and I can’t wait for people to hear them.
*High School Confidential runs through January 30 and we are sold out for the entire run! Thank you all for your support!
