Are you involved in any activities in school?

“The theater.”

What do you do in the theatre? Is it the lighting?

“ Lighting and set.”

How long have you been doing that ?

“I did it for the musical last year, and then I did the one act play and then the spring play last year as well. And then the musical this year, didn’t quite make it for the one act they had somebody else. And I’ve built all different kinds of things, I’ve built, we’re building a house right now, so it’s essentially a giant house. Um. We’ve built a moveable house for Cinderella so we could switch between the court, uh the King’s grand ballroom, back to Cinderella’s messaly little house in nowhere. We’ve built a carriage, princess carriage, with PVC pipe. Probably trying to bend the pipe and trying to get everything built was nice. And I built a subway station  out of two pieces of canvas PVC pipe and three benches and two staircases.”

So is building your favorite part of theater?

“Yah. Trying to put everything together and trying to make sure it looks like something that, doesn’t give away that it is a theater. We built two platforms for Cinderella, or not Cinderella.Two platforms for Chicago. And that’s probably the most minimalistic set the we’ve ever had, but we won multiple awards with that. And a lot of actors like Nicole, Nicole Riddering, she won an award and other people have won awards, and it was probably the minimalistic set we’ve ever had. We had jail bars that we flew in from the ceiling made out of PVC pipe that we spray painted out in the parking lot. And if it’s still there, there’s spray paint on the ground from like the three multiple cans that we wasted, because of the wind and everything. The wind took the paint.”

So what was probably your favorite set to build?

“This one. ‘Cuse it’s going to require a window seat, we have a little window seat. We have to build a door, a front door, we have to build a basement door. Then there’s the platform that we’ve finished bolting together we’ve got a door on currently. We’re going to have to hide an upstairs staircase that in all actuality instead of upstairs goes downstairs. Just up and then down again. And then uh, we have to build a bookshelf, were taking on of our flats, which is what we build our walls out of which is masonite which is about that thick. And it uh, instead of making it a wall we are going to turn it around and make a bookshelf. To save on space so that we can fit a xylophone on stage.”

You guys have a xylophone on stage?
“And an accordion. And Jacob. If worst comes to worst we can always just have him start singing.”
