You’re assistant director of the upcoming play here on campus, Cat in the Hat. Can you tell us a little bit about your role and your expectations for the play?: “Yes, this is my first experience with directing. In some ways it’s easier than I expected and some ways it isn’t. It’s easier in the sense that my responsibilities are simpler than I thought. I’m not directly in charge but I do need to know what is going on so that in the event I do need to take charge I know what I’m talking about. I’m mostly learning though. I love it and I’m absorbing a lot. I see all that goes into the process of putting on a show, all that the director has to do in addition to the rehearsals. A lot of hours, attention, effort and even heart goes into the process, especially when no one is looking. A lot of elements go into the finished product. If you don’t concentrate on those things, then it is rather difficult to create something worthy of being seen by others.”

Elizabeth Adam is a sophomore at St. John's University. Hailing from the tiny rural town of Uxbridge, Massachusetts, going to school so close to the city is completely surreal to her. She is currently studying to be a Theology major with a Social Justice minor in hopes of someday leading mission trips into third world countries for a career. She loves cats (especially her Maine Coon back home), Twizzlers, naps, and Demi Lovato. For more information, follow her Instagram at @lovatic_liz.
