Grace Misera, freshman star of the Bellwood-Antis High School production of Annie, takes time out of her rehearsal schedule to pose in her red wig.
Usually freshmen try to slide below the radar and try to not be noticed. This is not the case of Bellwood-Antis freshman Grace Misera. She is involved in a variety of things that make her a stand out in this school. Besides being the lead in Annie, which will run from May 6th -11th, she is also in speech, dance and other parts of school life. Grace and her sister, Hannah (Class of 2013) are deeply involved in and have a passion for acting and the arts. They have both taken some time off of school in past years to act, including auditions on Braodway. Grace has tried out for some soap operas and a production of Marry Poppins. Not only are her and her sister involved, Grace’s parents, David and Amy, have also played a big role in her performing and acting. They are involved in musicals and acting of all sorts and molded Grace to be where she is today. There are some cool facts about Grace as well. Her voice was actually recorded into a children’s toy. “Yes! They recorded my voice as I read these phrases and sang a couple of songs,” said Grace. Grace still has the toy at home. What is the life of a freshman? Misera: I am really not affected by being a freshman; I guess I am adjusting well. What is the biggest struggle of being a freshman? Misera: We get the last pick of everything. Do you do other things besides acting? Misera: Yes, I have been a dancer for most of my life, and it has helped and gone along with my acting career.
