ROBERT MADDOX SAFETY FIRST | Theater is no exception to mask mandates, and masks were required to both view and participate in the production. Senior Anaya Winesberry, who played Cindy, wasn’t too bothered by this. “I am glad that we’re wearing the clear masks for extra safety, but it has been kinda funny because they’ve been fogging up,” Winesberry said. “After each scene we all run off, wipe our masks off, then run back on, but I’d rather have them than not, that's my personal opinion.” SINGING HER WAY | Senior Sarah Lawlis showcased her passion for acting in "A Toby Show" as stepsister Sophia. “Just being able to become a different character, like someone you relate to, but is not entirely you, it’s so fun...it’s like being able to play make believe but on a big scale with costumes and lights,” Lawlis said. “You just get transported to another world, and it’s so magical."

A PERFECT MISTAKE | Junior Jake Sachs, who played the lead role of Toby, was initially worried about performing at South. “It's not ideal, but it all worked out,” Sachs said. “The stage is actually very period relevant, the architecture of the stage was actually built around the time '(A) Toby Show' would be taking place.”

TAPPING WITH FRIENDS | Sophomore Ben Graham thoroughly enjoyed making his theatrical debut in "A Toby Show". “It’s just great learning from all of them, seeing how they work on set, and obviously working with the positive energy everyone brings,” Graham said. 707 Vernier Road Grosse Pointe Woods MI, 48236 northpointenow.org
