School, grade: Highland Middle School, eighth grade

Character: Tommy Albright

What are your first impressions of "Brigadoon"? I hadn't heard about it, but now I'm in love with it. This show is a classic. The music just pulls you in. I'm really excited that we're doing it.

Tell me about your character. Tommy's a bit naive. He doesn't know what he wants. Then he meets Fiona. There's lot of mischief and fun. One of the best parts is you get this beautiful storyline, and you have all of these interesting things going on. It's quirky.

What's your favorite song in the musical? "Almost Like Being in Love." It's a duet with Tommy and Fiona. They are saying they're almost in love, but they aren't yet.

Why should people see this production? Because it's a theater experience unlike any other that they've ever seen. It really captivates audiences.
