Upon joining the BHS theater program her sophomore year, Eva quickly fell in love with everything the program had to offer. “Since joining my sophomore year I have been in the ensemble, and played multiple characters in each show.” Eva’s willingness to contribute to the productions in any way she can is what makes saying goodbye to her so difficult. Eva encourages her fellow BHS students to join the musical, stating, “You will always end up having at least a little bit of fun. I almost didn’t do the musical this year, but with some convincing I ended up joining and I believe it was the right choice. There’s a lot to look forward to, fun conversations and silly moments during practice, that make the whole experience better.” Good luck to Eva as she prepared for “The Wizard of Oz.”

There’s a thrill from making an audience feel something that you can’t find anywhere else.”Good luck to Abigail in “The Wizard of Oz,” and good luck to her in all her
