What character are you playing?
Liesl von Trapp
What is your favorite part about being in the Sound of
Music?
I have loved this story and watched/acted out the movie
since I was a little girl. I love having the opportunity to now bring it to
life. I really enjoy working with the children, especially being one of
them, and just having fun.
What have you had to work the hardest at with your part?
What I have had to work the hardest at is remembering what
it is like to feel 16 years old again. That is such a critical time/age in a
persons life, and I have to remember what I was like and how I responded to
things when I was 16. Also, Liesl is the oldest sibling and spends most
of the time leading the other children. I am not the oldest sibling in my
family, so I really have to work hard at becoming the older sister to all of my
new "von Trapp" children. :)
What is your favorite song or scene of the show?
This is hard because there are so many great scenes. I am
really excited about singing and dancing to "Sixteen going on
Seventeen" with Rolf and cannot wait to get started with it. Also, I am
really looking forward to the "sleepover party" scene with the
children and Maria while we all sing the "Lonely Goatherd" and have a
pillow fight.
Have you been in any other Mansfield Musicals?
Yes. I was a dancer/chorus member in last years musical
" The Drowsy Chaperone". I was one of the Coffee Cup girls/chorus
member in the show before that "My Favorite Year" and I helped with
stage crew my first year at Mansfield for the production of "Into the
Woods".
When you aren't at musical rehearsal what could we find
you doing?
Practicing my solo repetoire for my senior recital, working
on homework, working out or working at the front desk at the Kelchner Fitness
Center, spending time with my boyfriend, cooking, and talking to my Mother on
the telephone.
What are a few of your favorite things?
Listening to music, and singing, and baking,
dancing, and cooking, and some crochet making,
Sunshine and flowers, and fun coloring.
These are a few of my favorite things!

No, this is my first Mansfield Musical.

I can usually be found in Butler in a practice room.

Legos and Duct Tape, and lots of fast Running,

Planking up on top of really high things.
