Exclusive Interview: Olivia Deane, Steve Sedore, and Catherine LaPointe of Livonia Community Theatre’s ‘The White Rose’
What would you be willing to risk for the truth? What a powerful question to think about, and for many of us, the answer might be just about anything. The White Rose plunges audiences into the story of two students who dared to defy one of history’s most brutal regimes. Inspired by the real-life resistance movement in Nazi Germany, the drama focuses on those who confront fear and doubt, and the terrifying consequences of speaking out. Rather than depicting grand battles or sweeping revolutions, the play focuses on something quieter and vastly more powerful: the courage of ordinary individuals who refuse to remain silent. With the show opening tonight at the Livonia Community Theatre, we had the pleasure of speaking with the director of this production, Olivia Deane, along with two of the cast members, Steve Sedore and Catherine LaPointe!
In this exclusive BSB Insider interview, Deane, Sedore, and LaPointe discuss what has drawn them to be a part of this production and why this story feels so important to tell today. With varying levels of familiarity with the story prior to being cast, all three of these individuals discuss their process for bringing the story and characters to life on stage!
