It\u2019s going to be epic.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>He added his favorite part of the production is to see the actors fully immerse themselves in their characters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>\u201cI love involving my actors in the story because they\u2019re the ones who are living and breathing these characters,\u201d Cheslik said. \u201cI\u2019m making my vision, the actors are creating the characters.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Stage Manager Valeria Mendoza said her position is an organizing and coordinating role. Mendoza added the collaborative effort between the cast and crew is essential to bringing the production to life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She is most excited for the elaborate water scenes where the audience can be fully immersed in the play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMetamorphoses\u201d opening night is Friday and will run until Sunday.
