NAME: Izzy Scogland
AGE: 17
SCHOOL YEAR: Junior
INVOLVEMENT IN MHS ARTS: I’ve been involved in the arts at MHS since my freshman year. I came into the school taking the theater arts class which is where I met Mr. Scoglio and felt inspired to keep performing here.
FAVORITE MEMORY: It’s super hard to choose just one memory of performing. If I had to pick, it would be opening night for “Legally Blonde: The Musical” in my freshman year. It was my first time being in a musical with such a large audience, and getting that experience was something I’ll never forget.
PLANS AFTER HIGH SCHOOL: I’ll hopefully stay performing for a long time after high school, but I’ll be doing a lot more starting next year. I’m going to be transferring to Walnut Hill School for the Arts to pursue a more theater based education. While there, I’ll be doing seven shows a year!
FAVORITE THING ABOUT PERFORMING: I’ve always loved the feeling of being on stage and having the lights on me and everyone else. There’s something about being able to be vulnerable on stage and becoming someone else that’s always been appealing to me, and MHS has been able to further that love. The people in the performing arts department are so incredibly supportive no matter your talent level, I always feel comfortable trying something new or messing up in front of them.
