Character: Girl

Biggest challenge: The biggest challenge is entering the state of mind of a mother that has to experience a tragedy. It’s tough to channel that emotion and there’s a lot of pressure on me to do so.

Favorite scene: It’s tough to pick just one.

What is the play about: Showing people consequences of neglecting pain.

 

Hannah Clark, 20, junior of Littleton, Colo.

Character: Woman

biggest challenge: Understanding why my character says the things she says.

Favorite scene: I get to reenact a tempestuous love affair that my character claims to have with a Parison artist.

What is the play about: Trying to help someone who can’t see what’s best for themselves.

 

Derek Phelps, 21, junior of Sidney

Character: Boy

Biggest challenge: Learning. My character has to learn a lot of life lessons.

Favorite scene: The Chasing scene. It’s a moment of comic break. It’s like the Scooby-Doo hallway scene.

What is the play about: A younger couple gets visited by an older couple and is forced to learn life lessons of pain and chaos.

 

Willis Miller, 25, senior of Deer Trial, Colo.

Character: Man

Biggest challenge: My character can never let on to what he’s actually doing. There’s a lot of manipulation.

Favorite scene: My first monolouge. It lays the ground work about what my character is all about.

What is the play about: Listening for an understanding. There is lack of listening in our generation.
