March On Milwaukee

By Jerome Gee

Playing the role of Lawrence in the play March on Milwaukee made me feel good knowing that everyone in the play had someone’s life to portray who made it possible to live the life we do today. It was a very neat feeling to know that Messmer is the first high school to ever perform this.

I liked being around the other actors and actresses. We were not just cast members for the play - we had to bring the Commandos to life and their friendships so we all came closer together. If it weren’t for Ms. Wilkinson none it would have been possible. She kept us in order and made sure we were always on time. Also, we always had pizza waiting for us, which gave us a lot of motivation.

The cast is only half of the play: it wouldn’t have been a success without of Mr. Flattery and the Crew. They had to be right on time with the spotlights and the music. They also enjoyed the pizza. Overall the play was a success and I really enjoyed working with the cast, Ms. Wilkinson, Mr. Flattery, and the Crew.
