Q. What field are you in/planning to go into? Why did you choose this path?

​Olivia:  I plan to go into stage management. My freshman year of college I stage-managed a small scale burlesque show and I fell in love with it. ​

Cameron: Playwriting and/or Law. I wanted to write stories to be told on stage. I also believe that I would be a good lawyer and the practice of law needs people with strong moral characters.

What did you take from your time with CYS that has helped you in your work?

​Olivia: Manon, Jeremy, and the CYS team led a room that fostered curiosity, hard work, and a love of Shakespeare. The joy and work ethic that was sparked in that rehearsal room stays with me now.

Cameron: I learned a lot about forming a community through the arts and coming together with people from diverse backgrounds. ​ ​

What was the most important thing to you in your CYS experience?

​Olivia: The power and agency that was entrusted in the students.

Cameron: Feeling that the ensemble was a group of people I could call a family.
​

What would you want current CYS students to know now that you did not?

​Olivia: Love the process!

Cameron: That CYS is a place where everyone is welcome and no one will be turned away due to who they are.
