Looking deeper:
The Red Ledger: Why are you so involved in the fine arts community?
Zoe Kahana: I’ve always liked to perform and entertain people, and over time I realized that the best outlets for that are doing theatre and choir.
TRL: When did your interest in music and playing an instrument begin?
ZK: I started playing piano in 4th grade because it was during that time in elementary school where you’re just trying new things, and piano was the thing that stuck.
TRL: In addition to playing an instrument, why do you participate in theatre?
ZK: I think I was drawn to theatre because it was very different than anything I’d done before, it was more personal and I felt more in touch with the audience. I really liked the way we all worked towards a common goal for months and how everything played out.
TRL: What did you enjoy about being a part of the Seussical?
ZK:I love doing musicals because they’re a perfect mix of theatre and choir, and I especially like Seussical because the music is just so much fun. My part is also very brassy and dramatic so it’s really fun to totally become someone else.
TRL: Are you planning on pursuing fine arts as a career?
ZK: I’m not planning to go into fine arts as a career, but I definitely want to keep some aspect of it in my life when I’m older, whether it’s theatre or choir or playing piano.
