The Cast of Snow White has been working for weeks to be completed and perform the show. Thus far, many actors, actresses, backstage crew members, and the director each have had a chance to develop an opinion on the production’s progress.

The director, Corey Miller, has maintained a high level of confidence in the production’s progress, stating, “We are midway through the process. I think people will be surprised by the student talent involved. We have a lot of first time performers and they are doing an excellent job.”

One such of the first time performers, Leila Schwer who is taking the reins as Snow White. When asked how she felt about being the lead role, the answer she gave was, “I am very happy and excited I got Snow White! I have a huge amount of responsibility on memorizing lines and blocking, but I think I am doing well!”

Performing isn’t the only aspect of creating a show, however. Much work comes from the people working back stage. One such person is this year’s stage manager, Channing Swearingen, who is taking on the role for the first time. When asked how it felt to take these reigns for the first time, they stated, “It feels strange. I’m so used to having Abby (the stage manager for last year’s show) help that I
don’t know what to do or think.”

However, all is not bad for them as evidenced when they were asked about their favorite things about rehearsals, they said “My favorite thing about rehearsals is that I get to see the progress that all the actors are making with their characters.”

Through it all, the show continues to rapidly approach the deadline, which has elicited a reaction from the cast and crew.

When asked her feelings on opening night, Schwer responded, “I am very excited for opening night! I think it is going to be amazing and the theater will be packed!”

Likewise, Channing was asked this same question, with this being their response, “I’m fairly excited, as well as nervous.”

Finally, Miller said, “There is always a certain energy that happens during a live performance. It is like electricity in the air. The only way to experience it is by being in attendance. So, patrons buy your tickets before they are gone!”
