Olivia as Thomasina Coverly in DramaCentre's 2010 Fall production of Arcadia
Education Outreach: What's your favorite part about the show/production?
Olivia Palmer: My favorite part of the production, besides the show itself, would probably be the first few weeks of rehearsal. During this time, you get to know the people in the cast and the director and the production crew. It's a fun time where everyone is figuring out the show together. In these first few weeks you get the opportunity to experiment and explore the characters and their story.
EO: What's your favorite character in The Giver?
OP: My favorite character in the show is Asher. As Jonas's best friend, he is both funny and compelling. While he often plays the clown, we get the see a more realistic side of him that people can relate to.
EO: If you could not act, what would you do in the show?
OP: If I wasn't acting, I would want to work backstage building the show. It's really fun to watch the set form around you and know that you contributed to building it. I really enjoy that feeling of accomplishment.
EO: Funny or interesting moment in the production thus far?
OP: One of the funniest moments in rehearsal so far was definitely the day we started practicing the war scene. We got to run around and go wild. It was fun to get to play around like that. Everyone had a great time and it was hysterical to watch everyone's dramatic fight to the death.
EO: If you could be a movie/TV star who would you be and why?
OP: If I was a celebrity, I would want to be Ellen Page. People tell me I kinda look like her and she seems like a pretty cool chick. I would love to have been in some of her movies like Juno, Inception, or, most recently, Super.
EO: If I asked you to make a sandwich what would you put on it?
OP: My sandwich would depend on the day, but I would say my classic sandwich love would be peanut butter and jelly. You can never go wrong with pb and j.
