Valeria 'Via' dancea '25

11/20/2024

Valeria Dancea, graduating from North Cross this year, walks our halls and the stage with a huge smile on her face. She has been gracing North Cross’s theater productions for four years, her favorite character she has portrayed as “Eliza Doolitte!” and her favorite production being The Crucible. She says that her favorite play she hasn’t been in is Beetlejuice the Musical. Via shares that her sister got her interested in the stage, and that if she has time, she will continue ‘breaking a leg’ in college productions.
To students on the fence about participating in theater, “It’s less scary than you think!” Via says, “And it gets easier as you get on stage more, so you should definitely give it a shot even if you don’t think you’d be good at it.”.
