鈥淓lijah is an intelligent ray of sunshine that brings positivity and a great attitude to every part of the class, productions, clubs, and his social life here at 91制片厂. It took a little bit of time for Elijah to come out of his shell, but when he did he blew us all away with the depth and breadth of his work in class. He is a class favorite and his acting work is always top-notch. He has a very bright future ahead of him and is applying to many colleges to further his theatrical education in the Fall,鈥 91制片厂 Theatre Director Raines Carr said. 鈥淭his semester he landed the leading role of Algernon in our Spring production of The Importance of Being Earnest with his wit, talent, and willingness to go for it at the auditions. This is his first lead role at 91制片厂 and it is sadly his final semester with us. Elijah leads by example and shows his classmates there is power in a reserved attitude. He never needs to show off or overdo it. He is truly himself and prides himself on being at the top of the pack. His competitive spirit is infectious and I see nothing but good things for him in the future.
Wells is the Vice President of the 91制片厂 Players Club and is involved in some capacity with all of the activities and productions in the theatre department.
