The theme of this year’s show is “For Good Measure” and will feature three groups: Time, Temperature and Distance.
Emily Sullivan, junior in social work and director of Distance, said she thinks the cast is ready.
“The group is excited and in great spirits,” Sullivan said.
Sullivan said that lack of sleep has made things difficult, but watching the show develop has helped her through.
“As director, all I can do is have faith in my group,” Sullivan said. “I’m actually seeing this show come together. It makes me so proud!”
According to Melissa Lancaster, a 2004 graduate and director of hosts and hostesses, those involved have been focused on final details this week like staging and lights.
“It’s really neat to see what these guys can do in less than a month,” Lancaster said. “It’s impressive to see how quickly they can come up with this stuff.”
Lancaster said she enjoys helping with the show and getting to know talented students.
“There’s a lot of talent at Lipscomb,” Lancaster said. “It’s fun to get to tap into that.”
Sullivan is proud of her show and also thinks it’s pretty funny.
“This group has worked so hard and it shows on stage,” Sullivan said. “Not only is it entertaining, but it’s something that the university should be proud of. Not to mention you’re going to get a good laugh!”
