time practicing, as well, even
though he only sings one
song during the play.
“It takes a lot more prac-
tice,” he said of performing
in a musical. “You have to
memorize the songs and
memorize your cues. I think
it’s going to go good. These
last few practices have really
come together.”
Josiah Barron, 19, Uma-
tilla, is playing Gaston in his
third Parks and Recreation
performance, but his role re-
quires little singing.
“I have a scene where
I’m drunk, like really drunk,
so I’m kind of singing, but
it doesn’t have to sound so
great, of course,” he said.
He said he enjoys per-
forming.
“I think it’s always great
to come here and be with the
cast members,” he said. “I
just like getting into stuff like
that. You get the experience
because you’ve got to learn
your expressions, projecting
so the crowd can hear you —
all the things you learn from
being in a play.”

Cogsworth,
14-year-old Louis Haight,
Hermiston, said he only sings
one line, but he has enjoyed
the experience.
“I usually hang out with
a different type of people, so
it’s kind of fun to come here
and hang out with a differ-
ent group,” he said. “It’s all
into the experience of life. It
makes me open-minded.”
