The director said the play is very emotional, and the cast has done a good job at portraying those emotions throughout rehearsals. I never leave the stage except for costume changes.” “It’s the biggest role that I’ve ever had so it’s been very exciting but also challenging because there’s a lot of lines and a lot of blocking. “I am very ecstatic about this role,” she said. “It was interesting learning what her life was and what it was like in the annex and how stressful that would have been and how hard it was,” she said.Ībigail Speer said that she is a little nervous about the role because of the number of lines she will have to remember, but overall, she feels up to the task.

Speer has been involved in theater since middle school, about 25 years. The play will be Heather Speer’s directorial debut.
