Drama seniors feature: Elyana Teneyuque Elyana is very very excited about this show she has been helping put on. She has worked on multiple costumes, some being the mad hatter, queen of hearts, and gryphon to say the least. When she first started drama she was very worried about how everything would go (this being her first show/first time in drama), but so far everything has turned out great! In Elyana’s free time she enjoys being outdoors and hunting or being out in the boat. But mostly she enjoys being with her dogs and exploring new places whether in the woods or in town.
