Thirteen year-old Joseph Bielecki says that the children are an important part of the show, adding "the kids are a comedic relief in a serious show."

Jane Hereth is ten years old and she admits that being in her first professional production is a lot of work, but fun too, saying "It was a great experience working with these people."
