Here are some qoutes of our interview with the cast during
its press presentation, about their roles, the characters, the trials and the
challenges they have to face.
Jenna Burns and Kevin Hack
Jenna Burns as Maria: “The most difficult part are the
emotional scenes that we have to dive into, the characters are younger than us,
its thinking back what is like the first time you fell in love, those feeling
for someone else and the discovery of that, which when we get older were used
to that feeling, those are the biggest thing we have to do.”
Kevin Hack as Tony: “For me it’s not very difficult, I
find a lot of line very natural in Tony, I just had to put the shoes and
costumes, make sure I can sing the notes and I’m good, the only time I have to
prepare to something is the last scene in the show.”
Keely Beirne and Kayla Moniz
Keely Beirne as Anita: “I’m so honored to play this role,
it’s the role I always admired as a person, as a woman, as a female lead
character in theater and I think she is so strong, its impressive for me that
it is written in 1950’s, and a woman had such power, control and confident.”
Lance Hayes and Waldemar Quinones-Villanueva
Lance Hayes as Riff: It’s an amazing show to get part of,
I could see the world.
Waldemar Quinones-Villanueva as Bernardo: “ We are
sending a message, the show is really sending a message about tolerance, love
and how hate gonna finish it.”

Are you the kind of person that always looks to see what kind of expensive your neighbor's kid is playing? Or are you worried about what your friends are making as far as their salary? Not happy in your marriage, friendships, or not being satisfied with what you have at the moment? Some people are wondering, why despite the fact that I am just a stay-at-home mother and a not-so-full-time photographer, we are still able to manage to go through the day to day lives being happy and having no (or at times with quite a few) debts from other people. It's just a matter of perspective actually. You need to learn the art of contentment. Being content is not being driven by always wanting more. I know that ambition is a prized trait in our society. I am not saying that ambition is wrong. What I am saying is that the constant striving for more and not enjoying what you have or where you are at the moment will drive you crazy. Things do and will change. Have the at...
I was at a beautiful wedding recently, and I had a small moment of revelation about the meaning of wearing a wedding ring. It’s not an exaggeration to say that my understanding was turned completely upside down. Today I Found Out the history and symbolism behind the tradition of wearing a wedding ring and why, in most western cultures, it’s worn on the fourth finger of the left hand, otherwise known as the ring finger.

The circle was the symbol of eternity, with no beginning or end, not only to the Egyptians, but many other ancient cult...
