Keller explained, “It was the seeing things go from the start of the four months to the end, how everything slowly builds and builds, and ‘Oh this isn’t gonna look good’ to the end where ‘Oh my gosh this is amazing’ that made this so worth it for me.”

Senior and lead cast member, Meredith Stroud, says "In my opinion, memorizing lines is somewhat easy, but there's a big difference between memorizing and presenting your lines. You may be able to stand on stage and recite your line, but whether or not you can present it in an engaging way to an audience is a different story.
