POLITICS LYNN STUDENT A FACE FOR #WOMENFORTRUMP “Trump Girl” Audra Pendry Speaks Out About Support For Trump By KAITLYN FRAME Assistant Editor Earlier in October, Audra Pendry, senior, was interviewed by Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby, anchors of the U.K. talk show “This Morning,” about her unwavering support of Donald Trump during the 2016 presidential election. Schofield and Willoughby said Pendry gave them an “interesting insight” into what the views of some Trump supporters in America may be. “They contacted my manager to have me on because I’m the ‘Trump Girl,’” said Pendry. “They brought me on so I could talk about #WomenForTrump and give an insight because they don’t usually hear from women, let alone young women, about the election.” According to Pendry, the interview she prepared for was not the interview that happened once the cameras started rolling. She was given an outline of the interview questions and spoke with the show’s producer who, Pendry said, seemed friendly. However, when the show began, the atmosphere changed. “They FaceTimed me, all I could see was a black screen,” said Pendry. “I heard [Piers Morgan’s] voice and they said ‘Piers, what are you doing here?’ He said ‘I don’t really know if I’m supposed to say,’ which kind of cued me into how this was going to go.” The interviewers, Pendry said, were rude and practically debated her. “It was not an interview,” said Pendry. “It was an ambush. It was a set-up.” However, Pendry, along with other Trump supporters, believe that she held her own given the fact that she was not prepared for the questions they asked her, or the unexpected

turn the interview took. Only a day later, articles were already coming out on “Mirror,” a U.K. tabloid, about the “Brainwashed” Trump supporter featured on “This Morning.” Even after her “ambush” of an
interview, however, Pendry remains as supportive as ever. “I’m honored to have been the favorite segment of the day,” said Pendry, referring to audience reaction proceeding the interview. “I stand by everything I said. Trump 2016.”

ENTERTAINMENT GOING BEHIND THE SCENES OF “GREATER TUNA” Joy Dodd Speaks On The Show, Her Castmate And Lynn Itself By CALVIN JORDAN Editor-in-Chief Beginning tonight, the Lynn community will get to enjoy the fall term’s student-directed theater production, titled “Greater Tuna.” Produced, casted and directed by senior Jessica Quigley, the play serves as a senior capstone project as well as her first shot at handling almost every single aspect of the production down to the choice of show itself. Quigley admitted that the general rehearsal schedule for the show was arguably somewhat hectic due to conflicting obligations, but she also shared her pleasure at being able to do the show with lead actors Thomas Sanz and Joy Dodd. “It’s always a joy working with [Sanz and Dodd],” expressed the director. “Not only are they two of my closest friends, but they’re also just a real joy to work with.” Based around a radio station named “OKKK,” the show features a wide variety of scenes with a variety of personalities.
In the play, the pair of Sanz and Dodd play about ten characters each which brings the total number of on-stage personalities to 20, regardless of the small cast size. Originally, “Greater Tuna” was indeed written for a mere two actors, but Quigley’s interpretation of the script features her lead actors switching most of the gender roles throughout the show: One good example is a character of

Sanz’ named Pearl who is eccentric, lively and offers hints of her own insanity. Sanz himself said he loves playing the character and his co-star agreed, though not without a few words remarking his portrayal of the female character.
“The hardest part about the play is keeping a straight face with Thomas as a co-star,” laughed Dodd as the pair went over lines at one of their last rehearsals. Speaking on what she hopes her audience will gain from coming to see the show, the director was honest about her intentions. “I hope my audiences enjoy a good night of comedy at the theater,” said Quigley. “Greater Tuna” premieres tonight at 7:30 p.m. and will run through Friday in the Schmidt
