This is Olivias 3rd show. Her first play because the other shows she has done were musicals (guys and dolls and newsies) She is excited that she has joined this play but not gonna lie she loves musicals more. She is really enthusiastic about doing shows and Olivia absolutely loves it with being able to act, meet new people, and have fun. When she did her first show which was guys and Dolls she absolutely loved it so she was like why not do theater over the summer to do another musical and loved it even more and now doing the play it makes me learn more about myself and my love for theater and that she does in fact like musicals more then plays but will try to audition for the other plays or at least musicals.
