Name: Johanna Nimmer

Grade, school: 8th-grader at Highland Middle School

Role: Miss Sandra

1. What do you love about playing Miss Sandra?

It's not at all like me. She's very, very outgoing and I'm one of the shy ones. She's very forward. She likes books and is intellectual.

2. What's your favorite song in the musical?

"There's Always Me." I just think it's a gorgeous song.

3. Why should people come out to see this production?

It's different. It's really not like something you'd see in a normal show. It's very upbeat—just a fun show in general.
