Lana is playing the part of the First Portly Gentleman. In her opinion, it isn’t a big role but she is still very happy to have a part. Her character works for charity, which is ‘really cool’ since he helps the less fortunate. She’s really excited to play this role because ‘British accents are fun’ to play.

Interview with James (first business man), played by Lana McCaffrey, 1 Sepia. Tell us about your acting experience. It started in the Nativity play, playing Mary, in kindergarten. I didn’t do another play then until 5th class in Saint Brigid's. The play in 5th class was Alice in Wonderland. I played the Cheshire Cat. What made you audition? I really like acting. But my primary school didn’t do many plays. So when I heard about the school production of “A Christmas Carol” I thought “Oh yeah! This right up my street!”.  Tell us about your role I only have one scene. But its the scene where we talk about the future when Scrooge has died.

That’s what I like. I’ve made some new friends too. Image thanks to cedmagic.com

What do you like about acting?  You get to be a whole different person. Its fun getting to see things from another person’s perspective. What are you enjoying about this play?  I enjoy rehearsals, staying backstage and getting to see everyone else in their characters and seeing another perspective of them. Image thanks to cedmagic.com
