A Standout Performance: Jalisa Williams as Vy

While the entire Play On! cast was incredible, I was especially moved by Jalisa Williams, who plays Vy. Vy is an aspiring songwriter who disguises herself as a man in order to break into the music industry. Watching Jalisa transform seamlessly between masculine and feminine identities was remarkable. Her comedic timing, commanding stage presence, and vocal power made her performance unforgettable.

Wesley Barnes as Jester

Another standout of the evening was Wesley Barnes, who masterfully portrayed Jester while also serving as the show’s dance captain. His role was pivotal, acting as the glue that connected each scene together. With sharp humor, quick wit, and dazzling singing and dancing, Wesley guided both the characters and the audience through the story. His performance brought a rhythm and flow that elevated the entire production.

 An Ensemble Full of Talent

The chemistry among the cast is undeniable. Each actor brought their own spark to the stage, and together they created a performance that felt fresh and deeply engaging. With strong direction and staging, the show moves effortlessly between comedy, music, and heartfelt moments.
