In fact, one of the only things she did without student input was casting. Rachel Schiele, who plays the character of Adeline and works as a student director in the show, said she was in the unique position of acting, and then turning around and taking notes on other actors. Lionberger said that this is most students' first exposure to the pressure and rewards of theater. Because of that, nerves are running kind of high. But they're excited about it, too.
Performances usually do that.
Byron Lopez, who runs lights and acts in the show, said he and his cast are ready for the performances to begin. We've got it. It'll be good. Rosa Andazola, another cast and crew member, does not share Lopez's confidence, but thinks the show will go well for a different reason. So we'll work harder.
