We’re just a few days away from the first public performance of Shrek the Musical, so let's meet another member of the cast!
Emma Maynard is a young veteran of local theatre, and in Shrek she plays the part of a fairy tale character who has trouble with her nose!
Q: What is Shrek the Musical all about?
Emma: The musical Shrek is a show about accepting yourself and each other's differences, because we're all different in our own ways!
Q: What character do you play?
Emma: I play Pinocchio the Puppet in the show. I love my part because Pinocchio learns that being a wooden boy isn't all that bad, and that being different isn't something to be ashamed of.
Q: What’s your favorite song in the show?
Emma: My favorite song is "Freak Flag." I love how it says that what makes us special makes us strong, and that is true!
Q: Tell us about the cast - are you all having fun working together?
Emma: We have an amazing cast! Everyone is so friendly with each other, and works hard to put on a good show for everybody.
Q: If a kid out there is thinking about auditioning for a future show, what would you tell them?
Emma: I would say go for it! First Stage is a great company for kids who want to be part of a great cast and make new friends.
Q: If someone is thinking about going to Shrek, would you recommend it?
Emma: Shrek is a great show to see with your family. It has important morals in a super funny, foot-tapping show!
Thanks, Emma!
