Bishop Noll Institute senior Maisie Wragg, a standout both in the classroom and on stage, is set to bring the beloved character of Jo March to life in the school's upcoming production of “Little Women.”
“The thing I find most compelling about Jo is her willingness to be unapologetically herself,” said Wragg, of Lansing. “She is expressive and dramatic, and she doesn’t worry if others will judge her for that. Storytelling brings her joy, and she embraces it freely.”
**** Recommended Sometimes I’ll see a play which will just resonate. Hammond Community Theatre’s production of "Now and Then" is one of those plays. As the story unfolded, I found myself totally involved with the characters, hoping things would work out for them, even as I could see the writing on the wall. The cast is really good at making the odd and unusual seem normal. 4 Spotlights
