“I was lucky enough to recently be involved in the school's production of Annie and although I was already excited by this idea, after the experience was over I must say it was nothing like I could have ever imagined. We rehearsed three days every week and no matter how tired we were, we always left in a better mood than when we arrived. I think the most fascinating thing about this was that even if we wanted to go home, we always left with an incredible sense of accomplishment by the end. It felt like it would never end at the beginning but when performance week finally rolled around, auditions felt like yesterday. Backstage we could barely contain our excitement and as the week went on, even though we were tired, every night was still just as thrilling. From opening night to the last night where everyone arrived in pyjamas, the entire production was full of surprises. The mic swaps, the quick costume changes, the running to stage doors, never have we felt so much anticipation and excitement at the same time. I think the most astounding part of this experience was the community we were able to build, with people from different years and form groups, connecting in a way that otherwise they would not have and forming friendships. Overall, I think the entire experience was absolutely amazing and incredibly rewarding, I am so grateful to have been part of it.” - Luciana B
