Frozen in place, the actors sophomores Leilani Ibanez, Ben Akers and Mia  Morneault perform in front of an audience for the PNG performance.

We joke around and sometimes we hate each other but most of the time we love each other and we’re always there to support each other. You can never really control who you interact with at any given time which I think is the funnest part of it.”
