3 Questions With… MHS Senior Jaimeson Biard
1. Q: What's the most important thing Theatre has taught you that you will use in the future? A: I would say theater has taught me how to not take life for granted. There’s so much to do and to create. Acting is a good way to express it.
2. Q: If you had the world's attention for a minute, what would you say? A: I would Rick Roll them.
3. Q: If you can gain two superpowers for a day, what would they be and why? A: Probably super strength and flight. I can literally do anything with that. Be anywhere, and throw the Statue of Liberty.
