Season 2, Episode 18: Hello, Freshman! Inside the Emmaus Theater Department, Volume 4

It's now less than one week to the opening curtain for the freshman and all those involved in the production of the theater department's spring musical Hello, Dolly! 

In Volume 4 of this behind-the-scenes look at the preparation before the show's Wednesday, March 18 debut, we check back in with Mason Steltz, Dom Zientara, and Jacob Klinedinst to get the scoop behind what it’s been like since we last heard them taking the to the stage for rehearsals for the first time in the middle of February. 

In this conversation, the boys discussed the lengthy process of getting each performance in the show “just right,” the bonding and feelings of family towards the cast from spending so much time together, and what will be going through their minds leading up to the performances and when they hit the stage. Near the end of the episode, we also discuss the effects that the recent Covid-19 outbreak could have on the scheduled performance dates and what that would mean to the performers.
