‘Esther’ is fast approaching, and tickets are now on sale. Get ready to be transported to Babylonia Enterprises, where King Xerxes reigns supreme over the Persian Empire and his beautiful typing pool. This week we talk to three of his star ‘typists’, Leah, Elly, and Amelia, who share their excitement about the upcoming production.

What are you most looking forward to about the ‘Esther’ performances?

Elly – I am thrilled to see the hard work of our amazing cast and crew come to life on stage! The energy and excitement from the audience is always such a rush, and I can’t wait to feel that buzz during our performances.

Leah – Having a bit of fun with my friends on stage!

What do you love about playing your character?

Amelia – Getting to sass the other characters!

Elly – I absolutely love being able to portray a character who is different from myself. It’s so much fun to explore a range of emotions and really get into the mindset of someone else. It’s like getting to step into a whole new world!

What is the best part of being in the school production?

Leah – It’s something different that outside of school is not really an opportunity that is given.

Elly – The best part is definitely the memories you make with your fellow cast and crew members. You spend so much time together, and you really bond over the shared experience of putting on a show. Plus, it’s such a great way to challenge yourself and grow as a person.

Who are you most excited to have watch the show?

Amelia – My parents because they will finally understand why they had to wait around for so long after school for rehearsals.

Elly – My mom! She’s been my biggest supporter since day one, and I can’t wait for her to see all the hard work we’ve put in. Plus, it’ll be so fun to see her reaction to the show!

Which show do you think people should come to see and why?

Amelia – The Saturday matinee

Leah – Saturday night

Elly – Definitely come to see our Saturday night performance! It’s the grand finale, and I have a feeling everyone will be giving it their all. Plus, there’s nothing quite like the excitement of closing night!
