Ifsomeone makes amistake then wehave to start all overagain. It is a lot offun and we have tomade it to the endwithout any mistakesa few times,” explained Avery.Not only do actorshave to learn theirlines but they alsohave to memorizewhere to stand andmove when on stage.RJ Gay, who plays aLost Boy in PeterPan, has a swordfighting scene withthe pirates. “This ismy favorite part,”said RJ, Ms. Ingrassihelps us practice sothat it will look realistic.”Another importantpart of a play is thecostumes.
