The cast of “Choose Your Heist” includes, John Erlandson ‘21, Audrey Ronan ‘21, Amanda Ward ‘21, Riley Carroll ‘24, Declan O’Connell ‘23, Aarathi Dhavileswarapu ‘24, Truman Morsman ‘23, Taggert Smith ‘21, Oskar Alexander ‘23, Emma Brown ‘22, Nora Cornell ‘21, Anushka Srivastava ‘23, William Anderson ‘23, Sophie Herron ‘24, Josh Smith ‘23, Nora Cornell ‘21, and Sarah Costa ‘23.

The fall play, “Choose Your Heist,” provided audience members with a quick-moving plot, perfectly-timed jokes, and a unique interactive aspect. Each cast member had a distinctive, colorful Zoom background that matched their situation, which helped differentiate between scenes and locations. Additionally, the frequent polls prevented the play from feeling too reminiscent of remote learning. Overall, the cast and crew of “Choose Your Heist” did a superb job of shifting theater to an online format.

Noor Naseer, Editor Emeritus
Hey! I’m Noor, I’m a senior, this is my second semester as an Editor-in-Chief, and I'm currently a features editor. I've edited News, Sports, Sci-tech, Front, and Opinions and became a Managing Editor my first semester last year. I started writing freshman year and have loved it ever since. My favorite part of Spectrum is doing interviews because I feel like they’re such unique opportunities to interact with people you otherwise never would. Outside of Spectrum, I enjoy napping, hanging out with friends, and smoothies.
