What was your favorite musical and why?
Oklahoma because Ali hakim is one of my favorite characters and i had lots of lines and funny moments in that musical
What scene in Sister Act is your favorite and why? (This does not have to be a scene you are in)
The bar scene is my favorite because it feels like a Tom and Jerry cartoon.
What are three things being in the musical have taught you? and how have you learned these?
Being in the musical has taught me public speaking, acting, and singing through rehearsals and live performances.
What are two pieces of advice you would give young people who want to start performing in musicals at NCHS?
Just do it, you only have four years to be in musical so don’t spend it all deciding whether or not to join.
Memorize your lines before you even start practices, it makes the whole process much easier
What qualities do you see exemplified in the adults who help put on this show that you will take with you as you leave NCHS and how do they demonstrate these qualities?
They demonstrate dedication and commitment by giving their time and energy to support the program and its students.
What about Sister Act is different from other musicals you have been in?
My character and his crew are more separate from the rest of the cast, which made this experience unique.
What will you miss the most once the final curtain closes on your NCHS musical career?
I will miss the opportunity to play different characters on stage and the feeling of being part of something special with a cast and crew who all share the same passion.
