Theater at Roanoke College performed their first show of the season! \u201cJohn Proctor is the Villain\u201d by Kimberly Bellflower is a play about teenage girls experiencing relationships and finding their own voices while studying \u201cThe Crucible\u201d during the \u201cMe Too\u201d movement. This show was put together in three weeks and performed in the Studio Theater.<\/span><\/p>\n

I was able to interview Jesslyn McAllister, the costume designer, and Lilly Raboin, who played Shelby about their experience!<\/span><\/p>\n

First up, Jesslyn.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Q: \u201cWhat part of this show has been the most fun?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

A: \u201cThe most fun has been seeing all the pieces come\u00a0together. You start with a shirt then bam it looks like something the character would wear\u2026I\u2019m thankful for everyone who helped bring the vision to life.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Q:<\/span> \u201c<\/span>What has been the most challenging part of this show?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

A: \u201cThis is my first time costume designing a show so the most challenging part for me has been trying to communicate with my peers as someone who is\u2026making the costume design decisions.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Q:<\/span> \u201c<\/span>What will you take from this experience?\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A:<\/span> \u201c<\/span>I have learned a lot from this process, and I still have a lot to learn. I\u2019m so proud of the cast and the crew for telling this story in such a short production period and happy that they trusted me in putting them in costumes for the show.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Next up, Lilly!<\/span><\/p>\n

Q: \u201cWhat has been the most challenging part of this production?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

A: \u201c\u2026The time frame. This show is around 90 minutes, but there\u2019s still a lot to cover and a lot\u2026to remember, having only a few short weeks made it hard to memorize using the same strategies as before…\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Q: \u201cWhat are you going to take away from this experience?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

A: \u201cI am going to take a lot away from this experience; this was my first college production, so I learned\u2026from the new direction… I am also going to take a lot away from my character as Shelby. She is a complicated girl with complicated feelings, and it was a difficult experience to try and tell her story justice.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Q: \u201cIf this experience was longer, what is something you\u2019d add to your character?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

A: \u201cI’d want to delve into intensity versus volume; I\u2026take the intensity and make it loud instead of the intensity it requires. I feel\u2026with more time, I could\u2026feel and experience these complex emotions\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
