3-2-1, Action! by Amira F.

With only one day left until opening night, the cast of Fame is busily preparing for the big day. The actors and actresses love to goof around when they’re not practicing. Even though they have fun at every rehearsal, Mrs. Fulcher, director, makes sure they stay on task. I’ve been behind the scenes of this year’s Middle School Play to interview the cast and show you what everyone’s up to!
From big hair bows to off-shoulder tops, the cast will definitely be in character! Set in high school in the 1980’s, a group of teens and young adults audition for a chance to achieve their goals at the New York School for Performing Arts. How will they achieve those goals you ask? Well, you’ll have to see the play yourself to find out.

Keep reading for our interview with Bryce Yoder who plays Ralph, one of the lead roles.

How are you enjoying the play?
“It’s awesome. It’s a great bonding experience with people I don't usually socialize with.”How long did it take you to learn all your lines?
“About a month and a half.”
How much sleep  have you been getting since rehearsals?
“Six hours.”
What is the hardest part about your role?
“There’s a lot of adult situations that I have to deal with.”
Who is the quietest kid in the cast?
“Dorris,” he says, referring to Mika Martin (left) who plays the lead role.
What’s your costume like?
“It’s kind of funky, I guess.”
How is Ms. Fulcher?
“She’s interesting. She’s a good director but it’s specific.”What’s your favorite song?
“Lunchroom Jam.”
What are you most nervous about for opening night?
“Forgetting my lines.”

Anyway, Ms. Fulcher and the entire cast of Fame hopes to see you at the the showings below. If you see a member passing in the hall, wish them luck, or in drama terms, “break a leg!”
