Q: How many shows have you directed?
A: This will be the third or fourth show I’ve directed.
Q: What is your favorite part about directing?
A: I really like just seeing my visions come to life. When I see something in my head I’m like, ‘Oh, I want to see what this looks like on stage,’ so seeing it come to life just makes me really happy.
Q: What is the hardest part about directing?
A: Sometimes the hardest part is like making sure all your actors meet the deadlines you give them, because I’m a very laid back person, and sometimes people take advantage of that.
Q: Did you come up with the idea to do a play for History Club?
A: Yeah, I did. I really liked [my freshmen show], and I was looking at more concentration camp things, and I saw another play that I really liked.
Q: What is the show about?
A: That show is called “I Never Saw Another Butterfly,” and it’s about these kids in a concentration camp. It pretty much follows all of the little things that happen in the camp, and it’s kind of like a bunch of diary entries put together. It’s really good.
Q: Are there people who have not acted before in the show?
A: I know there’s one kid who’s a junior, and this is his first time ever on stage. There’s another girl. She only was in freshmen shows. She was never in theater after that.
Q: What is it like working with them?
A: They learn really quickly, so it’s actually a good experience for them, for me [and] for everybody.
Q: When is the play going to be performed?
A: [It will be performed] May 15 and 16 at 6:00 p.m. both nights.
