![During the song “Morning Glow” in the spring musical “Pippin,” senior Andrew Gwin acts as the main character that just killed his father in hopes of finding the meaning of his life. With just 24 hours until the first show, Gwin and other cast members ran through choreography and lighting to ensure everything was set for the opening performance at 7 p.m. “My character was someone who longed to find meaning and wanted a purpose for his life. So he went throughout the musical searching for things to try,” Gwin said. “[To relate to my character] I thought of how my lines went together because I knew how the character was supposed to develop throughout the show, so I tried to match how someone would go through that.”](https://pwestpathfinder.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/DSC_0123-900x600.jpg)

I related to that, and it was an honor to be the one to tell that story, and make the audience feel that same sense of wonder.”](https://pwestpathfinder.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/DSC_8870-900x600.jpg)
![Scaling a fence while handcuffed, sophomore Arden Dickson and senior Hayden Riehl perform a scene from "The 39 Steps." Among the characters Riehl portrays is Richard Hannay, a British man attempting to hide from law enforcement after being accused of murder. “[Hannay is] this really high energy, ‘stick-in-the-mud’ type character,” Riehl said. “He is super exhausting to play because of all the running I do, but he’s just got a really fun properness to him that completely contradicts all the wildness around him.”](https://pwestpathfinder.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Hayden-and-Arden-rehearsal-900x615.jpg)
