Year Three - Interviewee Research!!

We are dividing and conquering today - we have our first interview booked with Anusree Roy (pronounced Anushree - notice how she says her own name in the first video interview)

Watch the video and research this playwright and actor to learn more about her. This might help inform the kinds of questions we ask. Better to get more footage then just the bare minimum. We should get her talking briefly about her history in theatre and accomplishments as well as how Drama at Lakeshore impacted her.
