I played Alice in this year’s play, Alice In Wonderland. I was enthusiastic to take on this role, because I felt like it expanded my knowledge of acting and I could go through the familiar process of making a play. The start of the process began with get-to -know-you games and once we all got to know each other, we started running the script and blocking out the play. The process of putting together a show does take a few steps, but the initial introductions and getting to know everyone is very valuable and is one of my favorite parts of building a show. When getting to know people, you can see how they settle into their roles and grow as an actor. In my opinion, one person who really stood out was Jillian Applegate ‘25. Jillian did a great job with her role, she was always helpful with the younger kids, and gave people tips on how to better their performance as well. I love how on-task and focused she always was. All in all, this experience was really fun, and I think that the play was a strong representation of the heart of school theater and the Hebron community as a whole.
