Name: Leah Hartung

School, grade: Highland Middle School, 8th grade

Character: Jack's mother

Tell me about your character. She just really wishes that her son would kind of live up to her standards. She wishes she had a lot of money but she realizes it's not important.

What's your favorite song in the production? "Agony." I just like the music to it. And there are very strong emotions.

Why should people see this production? I think "Into the Woods" is pretty well-known, but we're doing a different twist on it. It's going to be a really good show.
