Mayzie Paulson (11), played the part of Karen Smith, said, “Once I played into her more I kind of shaped my personality around her. I think she has a really fun quirky personality so now I kind of feel like her.”

Jaelani William (10), played Gretchen Wieners, said, “Gretchen naturally has a lot more energy than I usually do, so I guess that would be the hardest part. Just keeping up that energy through our long practices.”
