“It’s exciting to work on a show in person again. This show is especially exciting because of the magical and otherworldly elements we get to bring to life onstage” - Ayanna Vandewalle (Annabeth)
“I enjoy performing a musical again after so long away from it. I find theatre to be such a positive outlet for me and so rewarding. The whole cast is so positive about the show and I’m very happy to have so many people see the wonderful final product.” - Ryan Gierhart (Grover)
