Never Have I Ever Cast Bonding Experience

Yesterday, the cast and crew of "Never Have I Ever" had the opportunity to sit down with eating disorder and addiction specialist, Leslie Plaia. With all of the hustle and bustle of getting the show ready, it can be easy to forget the powerful content of the play. By meeting with Leslie, the cast was able to find deeper connection with their characters, as well as learn some things about themselves. It was not required for the crew to attend, yet every crew member was there. It was truly something no one wanted to miss out on. As college students, almost everyone could relate to at least one of the topics she was explaining, and it was interesting to see which ones they were. Long story short, meeting with Plaia was something necessary for everyone in the production. It reminded us that we have the ability to put on a powerful, passionate show that displays the issue of eating disorders and shed light on an issue that is generally swept under the rug.
