“There will always be ones that are more challenging then other plays and musicals but the hardest ones are the most rewarding,” Wolesky said. Since Wolesky has been a part of theater since she was younger she’s done a good amount of shows and definitely has the experience. “Susical was the first show I ever had a lead in when I was around 11 and it was just such a blast and a perfect show for a little kid because of these bright sets and the blaring orchestra, and all these stories I’d grown up with,” Wolesky said. Theater can be such a close family of people where everyone loves what they’re doing and love spending time with other people who enjoy the same things as them. “I love the community aspect of theater and the connections you make with other people on stage and it’s just so much fun,” Wolesky said.
eing on stage is not something that everyone enjoys, but for some, it is fun and inspiring. “I was a fan of theater for a long time before I actually started participating in theater and I see performances all the time that inspire me and that spark the desire to go out and create. There’s a ton of artists that inspire me, and a ton of classmates here at North and that inspire me as well,” senior Ava Wolesky said. Wolesky has been a part of theater for a good portion of her life, she enjoys spending time on stage with her friends and getting to create. “I did my first show when I was in third grade, so I was about seven or eight years old,” Wolesky said. There are plenty of other ways to participate in theater outside of the school, especially with the amount of local theaters we have around here. “Most of the theater that I’ve done has been outside of school, I started school theater when I was in elementary school I did a show at Liberty Junior High. I’ve done theater all over kansas city, local theater like Starlight, CYT, Gladstone, the Coterie, etc.,” Wolesky said.
