Students to bring C.S. Lewis story to Statesboro High stage - Statesboro Herald

“I feel I can bring another level of detail and emphasis on every word Aslan says,” he said. “Really bringing another level of passion into the role.”

Having two casts, says Frazier, gives more students the opportunity to perform. But it’s also about quality, says Harvey.

“It gives Frazier more time to work with us during our separate class periods,” she said. 

Wolfe adds that it gives each cast some “built-in” understudies.

“But more importantly, it allows for a sense of collaboration where the two classes can talk to each other for ideas, but still end up with two different shows due to everyone putting their own spin on things,” he said. 

For all the students, having an active arts program in their school has been a crucial part of their high school experience.

“My most memorable high school moments came from performing in shows and having a good time with my fellow classmates and actors,” said Woodward. 

Wolfe agrees.

“Honestly, the arts have likely been the most vital thing in the entirety of my high school life,” he said. “They offer a great place for self-expression, and some of the friends I have made there are some of my best. Without the arts at my school, I feel that my life would be very different, but not likely for the better.”

“In part, for me, the arts are a coping mechanism with stresses that come with school and life,” added Harvey. “It’s also a way of being. They provide me with freedom of expression and give me a chance to push myself further and show what I’m capable of and practice important life skills.”

Harvey also says the arts give students a safe place to express themselves freely.

“It also provides great attributes that help students with their other classes. Theater classes improve public speaking, art helps with anatomy and geometry and — at the moment — arts have been helping me with my AP Macro class by encouraging me to question everything. It also gives students a place to actively practice the things they learn in their academic classes. There have been many times when I've implemented math in art or English in theater. Overall, the fine arts help us become well-rounded individuals,” she said. 

All four actors play to continue performing in the future. Warren is planning to attend Spelman College, but is also applying to Princeton. Wolfe is looking at Georgia Tech and Emory, while Woodward says he plans to continue acting in college and afterward. Gunter says she plans to attend college and major in Political Science then go on to law school, with an eye on a career in politics. 

Harvey has her eye on something very different. She is planning to attend Georgia Southern University and wants to someday perform on Broadway. 

“It’s a bit out there, but I’m willing to put in the work to get myself there,” she said. 

You can see “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” on Oct. 3 and 10 at 3 p.m.; Oct. 4-6 at 6 p.m.; and on Oct 7 and 9 at 7 p.m. in the auditorium at Statesboro High School.
