Sarah, our Assistant Sound Director, is as swift as lightening with her chopsticks.
Dalton tries to catch up on homework, but usually winds up watching sports on ESPN.com. (We have a test in Psychology on Friday, Dalton!!)
Daryl phones her mom for an emergency sock run. Mom brings the wrong socks. Daryl is not pleased.
We have discovered that Jenn is made of 98% sugar, and we're fairly certain that her skinny vanilla lattes are to be thanked, in part.
Erin likes to catch up on sleep. Dream sweet, Little Tiny.
But one of the best multi-taskers in our company has got to be Jessica Becker- ballerina, singer, actress, athlete, pageant queen, aerialist, puppeteer, prankster and loyal friend! Jessica is our Dance Captain and Milky-White for Into the Woods!
She grew up in Carolina Beach, North Carolina where her family has always had their feet in the door of the arts. For example, her mother was in a few musicals when she was younger, and she would sing Jessica to sleep with Day By Day from Godspell.
Jessica began entering pageants at age 11, and she needed a talent for competitions. This is when she began dance classes. She immediately fell in love with being able to express emotion without having to speak, because she had always been a shy, quiet person.
She has loved each of the 7 roles she's had the opportunity to bring to life, from Bertha in Jane Eyre, a Kit Kat Girl in Cabaret and now an old cow in Into The Woods.
Jess would like to thank The Clown for popping its ugly little head up during rehearsals, and for scaring the living daylights out of Jason Dula.
(Imagine discovering this bad boy sitting on the hood of your car at 11 at night. Creepy!)Stay tuned for more adventures Into the Woods!
