He has enjoyed his experiences in drama and is happy for this last show. After graduation, Jacob plans to attend Central Michigan to double majoring in mathematics and actuarial science, and is auditioning to play in the marching band.

After playing Star in last year’s production (John Lennon and Me) and Narrator 2 earlier in 2024 (The Brothers Grimm Spectaculathon), she knew she wanted to continue acting throughout her senior year. When not in drama, Sophia can be found playing piano, singing, and reading.
