As Marin and I are ready to begin filming our movie, it is essential to have a cast who will portray our characters accurately and efficiently. Mary Margaret Steber is a theater classmate of ours who is ready to play “Rebecca” in our movie. In our film, Rebecca Davids is a 16-year-old hard working student. She is the stereotypical smart and beautiful girl who is extremely invested in her academics. We chose Mary Margret Steber for this role because she is not only reliable, but also, she is funny and is a earnest student in real life. Graham Fitzgerald is a 17-year-old boy who hasn’t had to work for anything. He hates Rebecca as he sees her as a “try hard” and thinks she is constantly trying to prove she is the smartest and she is the best. Graham is the stereotypical jock boy. We chose Andrew Sapienza for this role due to his experience in the drama program and his strengths as an actor. Having had the opportunity to act closely with Andrew, we know that he plays these types of characters extremely well. His debut in the theater program was playing the school bully. Casting these two characters was easy, however, there is a kiss written in the script between these characters, and they have both stated that this may be uncomfortable for them. Nonetheless, the pair have decided that a stage kiss, where one characters places his or her thumb over the others mouth, ensuring their lips don't touch. Mrs. Headle is a supporting character in our film. She is a mid 60’s theater teacher who is extremely passionate about theater. We decided that Katie Terres was the best the choice for Mrs. Headle also due to her theater experience. In this past year, Katie played Ms. Hannigan in SHS's production of Annie. She is amazing at playing partially crazy characters as well as really diving into her roles and making them her own. As an actor myself, I have experience in acting coaching which is beneficial to my actors. The cast will also be providing their own costumes which consist of regular, everyday clothes. Mrs. Headle, however, will be wearing older-looking clothes, giving her an aging look. Overall, I trust the cast selected to represent the film accurately through acting and costuming.
