$Goofy Grandpa \\ During one of the theatres dress rehearsals, junior Robair Sedarous acts as Grandpa Gordon in the week before opening night. Later, he was quarantined on opening night and did not get to act in the musical for most of the showings. “Theater is important to me because that is my only time of day when I get to speak to my friends about something other than homework,” Sedarous said. “Its my free time during the day. It puts in a space of mine where I can forget about all my academic responsibilities for just a couple of hours.”$
