Cast Interview: Kayla Cummings

It's officially Ruddigore week!  It's getting pretty exciting at the F. Scott Fitzgerald Theater what with a weekend full of rehearsals and moving the set into place.  We continue our series of cast interviews today with Kayla Cummings.  Thanks for sharing a little bit about yourself, Kayla!

Name
Kayla Cummings

What's your role in Ruddigore?
Bridesmaid/Chorus

When and how did you first get involved with VLOC?
I found VLOC while searching for local opera companies to audition for, trying to expand my experience outside of high school. My first opera with VLOC was Utopia, Limited. I really enjoyed performing with this group and the era of music. My second opera with VLOC was last spring's Pirates of Penzance. This was one of my favorites so far, but Ruddigore may top that.

When you're not performing in community theatre, what do you do? (job, hobby, family, etc.)
I am currently a sophomore at Suitland High School Center for the Visual & Performing Arts. I'm a member of the Concert and Chamber Choirs, studying opera. We also get to train privately with WNO members weekly through our program. I am always looking for singing competitions or plays to audition for. This year I have been accepted into The Tanglewood Institute at Boston University College of Fine Arts.
