Under the direction of Dr. Jennifer Reda, the production is set to have great success.
“It’s my first time directing the play here at Woodland, which I’m very excited about,” stated Reda. “But I have a long background in drama, and it’s actually what I got all of my degrees in originally.”
While attending, audience members should be prepared to be entertained by the phenomenal casting and great directing.
“I think they should be on the lookout for all of the funny character quirks that each actor is creating. There are a lot of jokes that will repeat throughout the play and lots of really funny sort of timing interactions,” said Reda. “So one door opens, another door closes and hopefully we will have our timing down and it will seem very amusing.”
