Helen Keller Interview By Lea M.

Lisa Raddassi as Helen Keller

Why did you audition? Just for the fun of it.

Did you think you'd get in? Not really.

Back then, if you got in what part do you think you'd get? I thought I'd get Helen.

What do you think of the show? I think the show is hard because of the physical scenes and all the lines.

What's it like being Helen Keller? Being Helen Keller is a big part for me and sort of strange too because I have never known this person so for me to act her out it's difficult. Also having the main part is a ton of stress because if I mess up everyone will notice!

Are you happy with your part? Yeah, I was happy with my part.

What is the best part of being Helen Keller? Mostly getting to throw things around and get sweets from Madeline (Mrs. Keller) and acting.

What is the hardest part about being Helen Keller? The hardest part is faking the slaps.

What was it like performing on opening night? Opening night everyone was freaking out even me!

Are you ready for closing night? I'm ready for closing night because I need a break from practices.

Are you excited, nervous, or another feeling? I am relieved that it's over.


Are you sad too? Not really, now I have time after school to study more and I can have more activities.

What else do you want your fans to know? Thanks for coming to the performance!

On November 12 at 7:00, come to the main library to meet the authors (they're brother and sister) of the YA fantasy Another Faust. Dina Nayeri Viergutz and Daniel Nayeri will be there to talk about their book and answer your questions. There is also going to be refreshments, copies of the book for sale, and prizes.

We are planning to do a follow-up book review and report on this event. Check it out!
