Katie has been involved in plays since she was in 5th grade. This is her 14th play and she student directed 1 other. Orem High had tryouts for Thoroughly Modern Millie and she was given a part in the chorus. She has been in the chorus before and it's a lot of fun. However, I think she has been feeling the clock ticking down to the end of her high school days and wondering if she has done all she wanted. She told the director thanks, but no thanks, she would be moving on and trying other things. Then a big surprise came the week before opening night. At the end of Millie, the "new Millie" arrives in New York and is given a big entrance. They invited a few of the Senior girls who weren't in the play but have been really involved in the past productions to be the new Millie. Here is a picture of Katie as she comes on stage. It was so fun for her to have one last moment in the spotlight.
Katie and Hannah as Mrs. Meers!
This is what Katie chose to do for the end of her senior year instead of drama, GOLF! That's right, Orem High has a girls golf team and they are actually really good. I think as of right now, we are in 1st place in the region. So far, Katie has been playing JV and having a great time.
How fun for her to take the opportunity to do something different and new! You're awesome Katie!
