The Marriage-not 1912

As their senior year unfolds, four Little Rock Central High School theatre students are reflecting on the friendships, experiences, and lessons that have shaped their time on stage. Following their recent production of Thornton Wilder's OUR TOWN, seniors Max Gunther, Chloe Bradford, Kelby Dunn, and Susana Conti sat down with BroadwayWorld to discuss their theatrical journeys, the educators who have inspired them, and what comes next as they prepare for graduation.

There are certain phrases in life that get me highly excited. When I watch a movie the phrase “Music by John Williams” puts me in a very good place for the duration of that particular film. The phrase “Directed by Steven Spielberg” has the same effect. These two men have a collaboration that’s unheard of in Hollywood. For over 50 years and 30 films the team of Williams and Spielberg have collaborated on some of the biggest films to ever grace the movie screen.
