And then, you act.
Huh.
Oh, hi--
I didn't see you there. I'm Madeline Cook, senior acting major here at UW-Stevens Point.
This sure is a busy week at the Noel Fine Arts Center.
We're all hard at work preparing for Senior Showcase. Speaking of which, let's see how everybody's doing!
-I hate you! -You hate me!
-I hate you! -You hate me!
Looks like someone's doing a quick Meisner sesh.
-Ah yeah, we love Meisner.
-It s a great way to warm up. [Laughing]
Alright, you two kids have fun!
-You disgust me! -I disgust you!
-You disgust me! -I disgust you!
As I was saying, everybody here is busy preparing for Senior Showcase--
a night of monologues, songs and scenes performed by us, the senior class.
Look, it's Musical Theatre majors Spencer and Christof! What are you guys up to?
-We just printed our resumes.
-How are they looking?
-I'd say pretty good.
Spencer, you can't put your third grade play on here.
-Why not?
-I tried to tell him...
-Look, guys, I was transcendent as Tree #3.
Matt, what are you doing?
-Fill lighting!
[Singing in the distance]
Let's see what s going on in 283.
-That's not even what a tree looks like

[Laughter]
Look, it's the rest of the musical theatre majors,
Paige, Jaclyn, Peter, and Melody. What are you guys working on?
-A group number for showcase.
-What song?
- "I Found a Way"
-Huh. It sounds familiar.
-It's an obscure little show tune...from the 20's!
-Isn't that from Drake & Josh?
-Madeline, we need to work out these harmonies.
-Alright then.
Let's see what the rest of the acting majors are up to.
-You need to back off, Damarko!
-What are you gonna do about it, Matt?
-I will destroy you, Damarko!
-Bring it, Matt!
[Gasps] Guys, guys, guys! Stop fighting!
[Laughing] Oh, sorry about that. We were just rehearsing some stage combat.
But, you called him Matt. And you called him Damarko.
-Yeah, that's what it says in the script!
(Madeline) What play is this from?
Don't worry about it.
[Pricilla gasps]
Looks like Carson's working on some interpretive dance.
You know it. Do you wanna guess the theme?
...sure?
[ ♪ ]
So?
[Pricilla snickering behind camera]
-Uhhhh...
It's about child labor laws in Thailand. Wasn't it obvious?
Alright. Have fun with that.
That's just about everyone. Pricilla, do you wanna show people what you've been working on?
(from behind camera) It's rewarding just to film you guys.
Aww, that's so sweet!
(Pricilla, quietly) And none of you know how to focus a camera.
What?
(Pricilla, shouting) Alright guys, can we all get together now?
[Chatter]
-Now that you've seen what we've been preparing for
-we have a big favor to ask you.
