We asked the students why they wanted to audition or apply for the show and here were some responses:
"I knew that we were going to have a good time blocking this show and its the Missouri premiere. I didn't want to miss my chance to be in it!"
"I like Harry Potter."
"For the memories and people type stuff."
"My friends was going for Harry so I decided to go for Ron."
"I was held hostage and had no choice."
"I love Harry Potter, theatre, and my friends were going to do it."
"It was a character that I thought sounded a lot like me."
"Because I'm a theater kid and then I became a Harry Potter kid after being committed to watching all 8 movies twice."
"I like the Harry Potter world (even if I don't know a whole lot) and the fact that I could do roles where I don't have to physically be on stage really helped me build the courage to be in a show."
"I like theater."
"I missed theater so much. I took a break from it for a couple of years, but I wanted to come back. This show seemed like it would be really fun and a great opporunity to be a part of."
"I did theatre in middle school and I really enjoyed it, but I stopped when I started getting busy with other things. I have wanted to be a part of another productione ever since."
"I love acting and I'm a Harry Potter fan."
"I grew up reading these books and thought this would be a fun experience."
"Being able to make another show come to life and being a part of this opportunity and getting to build the sets."
"Theatre is such a BIG part of my life, and is what I plan to do moving on from high school. I would never miss an opportunity as big as this!"
"I have loved Harry Potter since I was in third grade, and I grew up reading the books. When Wibbs told us we were going to be performing this, I knew I had to do it. It has been a great experience and it has been fun being a part of this show."
"My mom made me do it."
"I wanted to help out Wibbs."
"I thought I would try theatre."
