Ariel Davila

Ariana Rusk : “How long have you been in Drama?”

Ariel Davila:  “I’ve been in Drama since the beginning of this semester.”

Rusk: “Why did you join Drama? Are you glad you joined?”

Davila: “I wanted to join to get more familiar with the tech area and lighting equipment, and also have more classes with my friends. I am sorta glad I joined. It wasn’t what I expected in the end.”

Rusk: “Do you enjoy Drama?”

Davila: “I do enjoy the class but not some of the things we have to do.” she said.

Rusk: “Where was the field trip?”

Davila: “In downtown Riverside at the Fox theater.”

Rusk: “What did you do?”

Davila: “My friends and I went to the food lab to eat food, then we went to the game lab to play after about two or more hours and went to the theater to see The Little Woman.”

Rusk: “What did you learn?”

Davila: “I learned that it takes a lot to produce a musical and there’s a lot of work that is put into them.” 

Rusk: “What was the purpose of the field trip?”

Davila: “To have fun!”

Rusk: “How do theater companies and actors prepare for a performance?”

Davila: “They drink water and maybe prepare the costumes and make sure the mic is working properly and so on and so forth.”

Abigail Mendoza: “I’ve been in Drama for 2 years.”

Rusk: “ Why did you join Drama? Are you glad you joined?”
