Spotlight On: Zenn Langley

Connecticut Theatre Company’s “Spotlight On…” series continues with a look into our talented cast and crew of A Christmas Carol. Get to know Zenn Langley who is in the ensemble of our production!

Introduce Yourself to Our Audience:

Hello ! My name is Zenn Hunter Langley and I like to crochet, play video games, and am a cat dad to a wonderful orange boy named Mr. Noodles.

What is your favorite song to sing in the show and why?

My favorite song to sing in the show is “Link by Link” because it’s a very fun and spooky song.

What is the most rewarding part of being part of such a large ensemble cast?

The most rewarding part about being in a large ensemble cast would definitely have to be how involved it is. You are more or less in every single number whether you’re onstage or not which is super fun!

What is your favorite part of the creative process, whether it be during rehearsals or performances?

My favorite part of the creative process would have to be how little changes can make a huge difference in one scene, song, or dance!

How does the energy of the audience impact your performance?

I am not entirely sure how the energy of the audience will effect my performance because this is my first show, however, the chemistry onstage I definitely feel projects onto the audience and I find that very fascinating!

What sort of person is going to love this show?

I think this show would be great for families, but to be honest it’s such a touching story that it could be great for everyone.

What is your favorite holiday memory?

My favorite holiday memory would definitely have to be the first Christmas after I adopted my little man Mr. Noodles. That was hands down the best Christmas I’ve ever had in my life. I got him toys to play with, a few sweaters to keep him warm, his first cat tree. It was a wonderful time for sure!

“A Christmas Carol” opens on December 6th and runs through December 22nd at Connecticut Theatre Company. Tickets on sale now!

“Lynn Ahrens and Mike Ockrent’s snappy book makes us laugh while the catchy songs (Ahrens also wrote the lyrics) leave us tapping our feet; together, the music and movement contains an irrepressible happiness.” – Arifa Akbar, The Guardian

“Although this is a Christmas show, it does have universal themes that may resonate with people of all faiths. The story reminds us of all the poor and lonely people who need help to survive. It brings up continuing battles for compassion and equality, that are as evident today as they were in 1844 London.” – Jennifer Goldman, Daily Democrat
