Anna Gaede
Anna’s story starts out as a crisp, sunny mid-October day in Powder Springs, Georgia. Born in the mid 90’s, she grew up playing in her backyard, playing with toy animals, and running around with the neighborhood kids. Anna has an upbeat and happy personality, never afraid to make new friends. Over the years, there are problems that arise; one of these problems being when she was teased for being smart. But things even out once Anna gets to high school because people are more concerned about grades than before. The mood of Anna’s play is positive, with occasional sad parts. Overall, however, the theme is all about staying positive through life’s ups and downs.
As far as a mask, since her personality is happy, the mask should match it. Made in the design of a sun, it would be brightly colored. There could be a small tear on the side, to represent her struggles. But in spite of the small bit of sadness, the main part of the mask is happy and joyful and fun.

Corinne Kuik
Corinne's story begins on a bitterly chill day mid January of 1992. She grew up the middle child of three, constantly being picked on by the oldest sister and looked up to by her twin sister who was just a few minutes younger. However, as she grew up, the feeling of being stuck in the middle strengthened as she was constantly caught between her two sisters and being overlooked. All through high school she had to deal with people constantly favoring her sisters over her, and being the only sister who was socially inept and had braces from age 15 to 17, she was obviously not the apple of everyone's eye. This made her the less favorable of the three, and brought forth many insecurities and doubts through the years. Once she came to college however, she finally got her chance to shine. Away dropped the shy and nervous mask she had worn for so long, and out came the new one, eager for her own adventures, trials and chances at her own life. She finally got to live her own experiences, and while she won some and lost some, she finally came to know what it was like to be the person she always wanted to be.
Corinne's mask would probably be a myriad of colors, swirled throughout each other to depict her experiences. While the majority of the mask would be bright, the underlying dark tones highlighting the bright colors would represent the hurdles and struggles she's had and still has to face. It might wear a twinkle next to one eye, and a small smile, maybe with one corner turned up in an almost secretive grin at her achievements and experiences, but her humility won by her less humorous experiences would shine through, inhibiting the grin from turning into a full fledged smile.

Hannah Mansell
Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Hannah, who grew up in sunny Texas watching childhood classics and dressing up like a princess, tiara and all. By the age of five, 2000, she knew "Reflection" from Disney's Mulan, "Part of Your World" from The Little Mermaid, and some others by heart. She lived for the spotlight: Being on stage and receiving a standing ovation was her oxygen. Throughout all her childhood, Hannah dreamed about becoming the new Lizzie McGuire when Hilary grew up or singing "Popular" on the big stage. However as she grew older, this passion diminished on the outside, but still burned on the inside: Hannah never had the courage to audition for a play or even sing a small solo in chorus. But one day, her whole life turned around... Sure, her best friend let her down and made fun of her for 9 months, but really it was a blessing in disguise. Hannah's courage to try something new was a gift after her heavy burdens were lifted off her shoulders. She auditioned for the school musical and was cast as a minor character. She continued to live the way she never knew she could, having the time of her life all the while. Sure she'll never be on the big stage, but her new adventures gave her a complete change in attitude: Hannah's small experience in the play helped her discover her immense positivity, confidence, and optimistic outlook that changed her entire life for the better.
Hannah's mask would be a mix of bright and pastel colors, depicting the positive energy in her life and the memories of her childhood. In one section, there would be a darker part representing the rough patches she went through - although they were difficult, those trials shaped who she is and will be for the rest of her life. Small representations of courage might appear throughout, along with positive words and images. It is unknown whether it will be a painting or a collage of sorts - If the mask turns out to be a collage, there will be a mixture of positive words, raw smiles, and representations of her childhood and trials.

Joe Eads
I was raised in a military family, so responsibility and approaching situations from a logical perspective was instilled into me. This was done in such a degree that I even carefully observe others so I can learn how to interact with them. Stay calm and collected, and get my work done, that is my mantra. Working from the background is more beneficial, since the tiniest details make a world of difference. Even while knowing this, I yearn to be more outgoing. Though being cautious is obviously safer, being overly cautious means to miss opportunities, especially in 21st century United States.
Krissi Tinsley
Once upon a time, in a land not so far away, under the leaves of a sky high palm tree a baby girl was brought into this world. She had beautiful ash brown hair and eyes the color of the purest amethyst and her name was Kristin. Throughout her childhood Kristin dreamed of being a princess or a doctor or an artist and she was always full of energy and hope. As she grew up she discovered the awful truth: that the world she lived in was much, much darker than the world she had imagined for herself. She would never be a princess, she would never be taken away into some picture perfect fairy tale. She fell into a deep, dark depression and could not be consoled and for a very long time she crushed her imagination, determined to never allow any silly thoughts to unfurl. But one day, with the guidance of her wonderful step-mother, who to her seemed like a fairy godmother in disguise, she realized that though she was not in a fantasy world where mermaids, dragons, elves, and faeries existed, she was still surrounded by amazing human people who cared and loved her. She allowed her imagination to grow again, to be swept away in those beautiful fantasies and incredible fairy tales. Soon after, Kristin decided to make her life a bit more appealing to her creative imagination by joining band and theater and taking singing lessons and art classes. She would write beautiful novels and she read so many books that her mind was positively bursting with information, ready to spin a tale out of anything. She was finally happy and content, because even though she has faced so many dark times, she can look forward with hope because she has the best of both worlds: her imagination and her reality.
Kristin’s mask would be a dark, deep blue-black and would have a mirage of colors that seemed to burst through. It would be Rorschach mask, always changing shapes to represent her ever changing style and imagination. There would be swirls and beautiful designs to show her positive attitudes, and dark lines to show her unyielding strength and determination.

Kyra Javery
On a windy night in February, the 23rd to be exact, a new and bright star by the name of Kyra Inez was born. Kyra decided to separate from the sky to begin to live her life in New Orleans. As a child she and school were not always the best of friends resulting in a very rocky relationship. One day she finally turned around and said hello to a girl named performance who had been following her around for a very long time. Little did she know, she and performance would become the best of friends. Over the years Kyra faced some down and dark times. One being the washing away of everything that she once knew as home due to a hurricane named Katrina. Another, and the hardest of them all was the passing of her father. After the passing of her father she began to shut performance out, and her relationship with school worsened. One day she decided that being alone only hurt her more, so she decided to make some life changes. After a lot of therapy she and school made a mends and obtained a business degree together. Fed up with the emptiness, she called on her old friend performance and decided to pursue her dreams in acting. Present day Kyra is currently apart of a group called Actors Anonymous at KSU working along side of 8 other great stars. Despite all of the ups and downs Kyra is still a very outgoing, happy shining star.
Kyra's mask would be very bright and colorful. Taking in consideration her love for her home it would be very fitting to have a Fleur de Lis as an outline. Inside of the Fleur de Lis she would would have sections symbolizing her struggles but most importantly highlighting her strengths and the things most important to her.

Mackenzie Brackett
MacKenzie’s story begins on an early morning in Marietta just as the sun rises. As an only child being shuttled from his home to that of his grandparents, he sleeps. His daily routine is monotonous at first glance, but evolves over time. He grows into a man alongside the booming technologies of the 2000s. Nothing interesting ever happens to him. He plays sports and video games. He hangs out with friends who change throughout the years, but never in a dramatic fashion. His actions and words seem almost scripted since there is never more than a minor incident in his life. His existence is boring to a witness, but inside his mind there is a never-ending flow of abstract thoughts and ideas. His internal being is slowly manifested in the physical world through his growingly unpredictable behavioral changes, but is hardly noticed by anyone other than himself.
MacKenzie’s mask would be very simple. It is plain white with only red stripes to match his god-like hair. There is no expression. There are just eyes and a straight mouth. It is boring and repetitive just like the style of this play. Oh snap! Upon closer examination of the mask there is actually a very intricate and complex design. This design is just barely distinguishable from the white base because it is merely an off-white tone. This is representative of MacKenzie’s hidden complexity of his own mind. Oh wait! Double snap! MacKenzie’s mask is reversible so that he can show whatever side he feels like. The other side is almost a collage. An individual could almost read his life story off of this side of the mask. This side of the mask has a title across the forehead like a book. “MacKenzie: You Ain’t Even Know” I guess you can’t judge a book by its cover. Using cutting edge technologies from the 21st century (which he is raised in), MacKenzie’s mask can shape shift into just about anything, just like him.

With a task on hand, Michael is the still man behind the scene quiet but yet outgoing, funny, enjoys traveling and fill with excitement but still a mystery too others. His intention is good and his demeanor is approachable.
Michael’s mask would have a crown symbolizing royalty considering the fact Michael is an African King. With the consideration that Michael’s life dream passion was to be in the NBA or be a fashion mogul. To incorporate in his mask Michael would have the crown overlaying the mask and the mask design representing his life passion and the enjoyment of traveling.

Nick Rohrer
Twenty years ago, the future kingpin of the New York criminal underground was born. Raised in the rough and tumble streets of Brooklyn, he came to prominence through various acts of mischief and debauchery. After ending a decade long turf war between three rival gangs, he yearned for something more interesting and lucrative than the drug and arms trafficking game. This prompted his attempt to fan the flames of his true love—theatre and the arts. However, it was not until coming across the fledgling theatre company Actor’s Anonymous did this long lost dream begin to come to fruition.
To incorporate Nick’s personality into a mask, the mask could be divided in to a black half and a white half, the dark side representing the thug life he left behind in order to spark his true passion of theatre (represented by the white side). Maybe even add a scar on the black side as a tribute to Scarface’s Tony Montana, Nick’s idol.
