We were all definitely nervous that coming up to the show we wouldn’t be ready but it all came together perfectly.” Emily’s character that she played was Lottie Wilkins. Emily claims that playing the lead role was “definitely a first for me. I’ve never played the lead role so it was definitely a new experience.” Emily did a wonderful job building into character and playing the part very naturally. She says, “As for getting into character, the character was a lot like me so it was really fun.” On top of getting into character, the cast member also had to memorize an insane amount of lines. Emily says that “Coming up to the play, there was one period of time where I was scared I wasn’t going to have all of the lines memorized. We all used different strategies to memorize our lines. For me, I would read the script at night before I go to bed. This helps the words stick in my brain.”
