“I think this is definitely most fun I’ve ever had in a production [The Crucible, about the Salem Witch Trials] because the actors involved are so into it and it’s really dramatic but we can still have a really good time with it. I think it’s incredible that this is a true story, you know, this really happened. We look at it and think ‘that’s so silly — witchcraft, that couldn’t really happen’ but that just shows how much our beliefs have changed since then and progressed over time. It’s really like a horror story when you think of all these people who were falsely accused of witchcraft and convicted.”
“Are you working toward a career in theater when you graduate?”
“I’m only in 10th grade now. I’d actually like to go into politics. Quite honestly, yeah! I’d like to help out the world in some type of way and I think that would put me in a good position to do that.”
[The students of the Lincoln Park Performing Arts Center will put on the final production of The Crucible Friday, March 11 – Sunday, March 13]
