She traveled to the Texas Thespians Festival over Thanksgiving break and advanced to Nationals with her group in the Group Acting event. Smith also performed in the UIL One Act Play ‘Cagebirds’ at Rushing Middle School last year.
Addyson Smith – Yvette
Is this your first production with the department?
How do you feel about the upcoming show?
I’m a little nervous for my first production, but I’m looking forward to it.
Can you describe your character?
My character, Yvette is a French maid in her mid twenties. She works at the Boddy Manor, and has for the past few years. Her and Ms. White have a little bit of history….and not the good kind.
Since the show is in the black box you are so up close with all the actors and you really feel as if you’re in the scenes with them.

What are the types of things that you have been working on in rehearsals?
We have been working on lighting cues, transitions, costuming, lines, full run throughs, creating more character depth and understanding yourself as your character.
What is something you are looking forward to when the show opens?
I’m looking forward to telling people to come see me as Yvette in Clue, and looking forward to hearing the audiences laughs.
Why should people come see this show?
People should come see this show if they want to get a good laugh, and have a fun journey through the incidents at Boddy manor.
