"The stress of tech week. It is such an awful experience but probably the best one anyone could get. It builds bonds and trust that I wouldn't give up for anything." @tablovestacos

"What I miss most about theatre right now is the stage lights. Whenever I would be in a show, I'd love the stage lights that would shine down me. It made me feel important, whether I was in the ensemble, or a lead. Another thing I miss is acting. I loved being able to be someone else. Someone that wasn't me. I could be someone different and people would except me, because it's my role, and it's my job to ply that role" @madisonveloza
