Q: What would you say is your favorite part of the troupe? Any favorite memory, favorite show, favorite part in general? 

 Katelyn: My favorite part about the troupe is probably just like the community it’s created. I also just really love performing and I think we put on really really good productions for a high school. It’s pretty impressive what we do in my opinion. 

     Q: How are you enjoying rehearsal for Anastasia? 

 Katelyn: This year is like a lot better than past years because we used to never have a schedule. We were here three hours every night even if you weren’t needed. Even if you did absolutely nothing in those three hours. Thank god for Ms. Lyon. 

     Q: What would you say are some of the benefits of joining the troupe? 

     Katelyn: Just being able to hone in on your abilities, acting, singing, and dancing, and you get to meet a lot of cool supportive people. 

     Q: What about tech? What are some benefits of doing tech?  

     Katelyn: Oh yeah tech is cool. It’s also not as big of a time commitment which is really nice for a lot of people who still want to be involved. I feel like tech could be for everyone, honestly.
