This is my seventh play with the theater group! The challenging part is memorizing your lines and remembering what to do on stage. When I\u2019m not acting, I enjoy going to school. I also love to sew \u2014 I make stuffed animals and birthday presents for people. The thing I most love about Mission Hills is all our neighbors, and the nature \u2014 the animals and plants in the canyons. Mission Hills has a lot of green space.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><em>\u2014Isabella Ramos, Mrs. Beauregarde<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is my first time in a CSCT production. I love acting and all the background scenery and props, and I love my costume \u2014 I have a funny and silly costume with a hat. The most challenging part of performing is remembering my lines and knowing where I should stand. When I\u2019m not on stage I love riding horses, and I like going to my school Grant K8.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><em>\u2014Noemi Moran, Oompa Loompa<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI like being able to sing, act and be a whole new person. I\u2019m the candy man, he wants to get people to eat more candy. I like being part of the theater group because everyone is really nice and friendly. When I\u2019m not acting I love coding.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><em>\u2014Bryce Benson, the Candy Man<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is my fifth show with the Center Stage Children\u2019s Theater. My favorite part about being in the show is seeing the audience applaud and enjoy our performances. I like the whole community that has been created by the theater group \u2014 it\u2019s really nice that everyone in the cast and crew get on so well together. Everyone is friendly. The most challenging part is remembering when and where to come on stage. The people who made the costumes said they had the most fun with my costume. It has a lot of padding to make me look fat!\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><em>\u2014 Ben Case, Augustus Gloop<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI love singing and dancing and meeting new people I wouldn\u2019t have been friends with if I hadn\u2019t joined the theater group \u2014 people who go to different schools in our neighborhood. The challenge of performing is remembering all out lines and when to come in. My character is German, so I have to sing with an accent. She lets her son eat all the time \u2014 24\/7! I love living in Mission Hills \u2014 it\u2019s always sunny and when it does rain it is nice rain and not polluted.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><em>\u2014Simone Benson, Mrs. Gloop<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is my first time acting with the Center Stage Children\u2019s Theater. I love going onstage and performing with everyone. I don\u2019t think I\u2019m going to have any stage fright. I\u2019m really enjoying tech week, especially having dinner with all my friends. When I\u2019m not doing this, I mostly do music. I play the piano, guitar, ukulele, violin and flute! My mom has a music studio here in Mission Hills and we know lots of people. I like Mission Hills because there are lots of businesses and coffee shops and donut shops. We have especially good donut shops.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><em>\u2014Anna Robitallie, one of the Candy Man Kids<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Personal de SDCNN<\/p>","protected":false},"author":837,"featured_media":224921,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"11555","_seopress_titles_title":"The students behind Mission Hills' 'Willy Wonka Junior\u2019 production","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","jnews-multi-image_gallery":[],"jnews_single_post":[],"jnews_primary_category":[],"jnews_social_meta":[],"jnews_override_counter":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[11549,11547,11551,11550,11555],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-252921","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-arts-entertainment","category-features","category-news","category-top-stories","category-uptown-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/test.sdnews.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/252921","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/test.sdnews.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/test.sdnews.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/test.sdnews.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/837"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/test.sdnews.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=252921"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/test.sdnews.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/252921\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/test.sdnews.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/224921"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/test.sdnews.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=252921"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/test.sdnews.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=252921"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/test.sdnews.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=252921"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
