Q: What is your name , what year are you,and what character do you play for “Bonny Anne Bonny”?

Kaylee: My name is Kaylee Norris. I am senior, and I play Anne Bonny.

 

Q: How does she  make you think about life?

Kaylee: The play is really good at making the person watching even the actors acting in it very concise of their decisions and how it affects people and Anne Bonny is perfectly in that area because she is very passionate of what she does and passionate of wanting to make a name for it and sometimes it can put people at risk because of that. So it’s about learning from your mistakes and knowing the consequences of your actions.

 

Q: How has this play been for you?

Kaylee: So this play has been super wonderful I haven’t done drama in about two years and just coming back into it with a fresh mind and a fresh heart. It is just  the community is so welcoming and the directors are super amazing their supper supportive and alll in all your their to have a good time and that’s exactly what I’ve been having.

 

Q: Does this character relate with you in any way and why?

Kaylee: In her passion for getting what she wants out of life she doesn’t want to go down knowing she could of done more. She wants to go down knowing she did exactly what she wanted and how she wanted to do it. Personally I don’t relate to how she goes about some of the actions because there’s a lot more to diplomacy and just fighting out your problems.

 

Q: What is the most thing you enjoy doing while doing Bonny Anne Bonny and why?  

Kaylee: I think the best part about it is being to hang out with the cast every single day and even the crew because everyone is so supportive and so jolly. Even when someone comes in with like a bad day or someone had something happen to them in jut kind of feeling upset it’s a community that allows you to put aside those feelings and enjoy on another presence and it makes the show so much easier to go through and it’s really amazing  

 

Q: What is your favorite scene in the play and why?

Kaylee: My favorite scene is the first scene of the entire play just because it’s a great way to introduce Anne’s personality and Blackbeard’s  personality and even Calico’s personality it is just so much information that first scene the audience can just start eating off of that it is very much an attention grabber were automatically your just like what’s gonna happen next.
