Don't Miss the Last Musical in the Performing Arts Center Before Renovation!

Bridget has been involved in Archmere theater since her freshman year and loves the experience. “The show is going really well. We received good feedback from last weekend’s two performances...I love the [acting] process: you get to play someone other than yourself but within that you play yourself as well.” Her love of theater captures the entire involvement, from casting to choreography to relationship building. “I love the whole experience of meeting new people. Each cast is different and, like a sports team, you really develop relationships from year to year, with new and familiar friends."

 

This weekend the crew will perform both Friday and Saturday night. “My favorite song is kind of sad, ‘When I Grow Up.’ It’s about loss of youth and it is a good opener for Act 2 of the play.” Referencing a bit of nostalgia, Bridget reflected on her affection for Archmere theater and the fact that she will miss the seniors. “I’ve done 6 plays with [senior] Jack Roarty. There’s something final and finite about the show.” Alluding to the upcoming Performing Arts Center renovation, she added, “And it’s the last show in this theater as it is.”

 

The show is directed by Mr. Brian Manelski, choreographed by Christina Lawless ‘12, with musical direction by Pat D'Amato '08. Please come out this weekend to enjoy the Auksome performance.
