Cast Memories
How innocent and quiet we all seemed in December for our FIRST rehearsal as we sang by the piano on stage.
Tiarra, falling down when she bounced off the door.
The time Mrs. Bartlet got really mad at the guys who couldn't pick up the girls during Carnaval Del Bario and screamed "Pick those girls up, spin 'em around and GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!"
Everything is funnier when you're not supposed to laugh: Alabanza.
Natalie, falling going up Abuela Claudia's steps.
When you randomly hear Pam's, "whaaaat" everywhere.
When Jerry did Mrs.Bartlett impressions.
Mrs. Bartlett, imitating us on how we sing "Alza la bandera, la bandera Dominicana!"
Restarting the same scene at least 40 times because Mrs. B. hated Immanuel's hair.
Getting lost at the beach and spending all spring break bonding with my new cast family.
Erin, shoving me out of the way when Ariely was absent and I wanted to play Vanessa's part.
Switching characters in one of the run-throughs!
First time trying "Blackout" with the lights off: chaos.
Trying not to laugh when Immanuel creeps his way out of the window for "Sunrise."
Ailyn and Neli, breakdancing before running out for "Blackout."
Having to hear Pamela scream "Again!" Over and over!
When Andrew says "soft trees."
When Mrs. Bartlett had the Rosario family exaggerate every single line.
When Jovani screams "WEPAA VANESSAA"
Quiara falling on the floor, dramatically, over everything.
