By the end of the first day at the Sewickley workshop, campers were transformed into a full-blown cast. Dylan Parda, who played Maurice, the miller, sang sweetly and hit every note perfectly. Sophie Sabo made a perfect princess Samantha, cracking the audience up, and Claire Foley put a sassy spin on her character, Rumplestiltskin.
With 14 musical numbers, many of them choreographed, and all of the spoken lines in between that had to be memorized, it’s safe to say that director Lisa Gojkovich helped craft a wonderful performance.
