Another character named Juliet Lavender is played by Piper Clark. The fall play is about, ¨my character Lorelei Lavender who is trying to save her family’s theater,¨ VanderWerf said, ¨so she is putting on a production of A Midsummer Night Dream which is a Shakespeare play so there is just a lot of drama in that and it’s a play inside a play there are these robbers that are coming in and she has taken out a big loan for this play so there is a lot of shenanigans that are happening.¨ 

Juliet lavender is Clark´s character, ¨my role is Juliet Lavender and Hermia, Juliet plays Hermia inside the play because its a play inside a play,¨ Clark said, ¨my character Juliet she’s very dramatic the entire play and she’s yelling and running and doing a bunch of stuff.¨ The cast does rehearsals in preparation for the show, ¨rehearsals are really fun right now since we are so close to the first performance,¨ VanderWerf said, ¨we have just been running through both acts and trying to put in all the lights, sound and everything else.¨ 

Opening night for some of the cast can be their favorite thing about performing, ¨my favorite thing about performing is probably opening night.
