Hi I’m Paige and I’m playing Rachel! I’m so excited to be in my second production with CTC.
Why did you want to be involved in this production?

What do you do when you’re not doing theatre?
I work for a tech company and spend a lot of time crocheting!
Without giving anything away, what’s your favorite line of dialogue?
Tully has a line referring to a volcano that is just so funny and absolutely something Joe would say in real life.
What’s your favorite Jimmy Buffett song, and why?
What sort of person is going to love this show?
I think if you’re looking for a fun, feel good show, this is the show for you. There’s a lot of funny moments, but there’s also a lot of heart in this show and it really can put a smile on your face.
