We've done classes dealing with set, lighting, sound, and we had to take a directing class. We've taken a smattering of it all, and this class is like taking a baby and throwing it in the water to see if it swims. This class tests how much you really remember.

A lot of us are dealing with other productions, internships and graduate school auditions.

I think back to classes and see if I can remember anything from them. Some classes I don't remember anything that really lit up my mind, but this class has so many of those moments, I'm sure I'll look back and draw upon it after I graduate.

I think that everybody would gain a sense that literature is important, it's one of the reasons why we're alive. There's eating, sleeping, survival stuff, but I think that you really can't survive without literature, without poetry. It's a joy of life, which is funny to say when your curriculum includes Hemingway. It makes you go out in the world in a different way and look for beauty, a different way of expressing yourself.

In my opinion, this is the hardest regional in Class B. There is a lot of talent in this regional, but all we can do is focus on what we can control and that is our performance. All we can do is go out and do our best, and hope our scores are good enough.

I was very personable and outgoing and was friends with most everybody in my class but I was a diehard dancer so I was constantly at dance classes and working toward my passion of dance.
