Reception

Abby Kress and Christian Heinemann celebrate the opening night performance by grabbing a quick drink at the show’s reception. After every Otterbein musical, audience members are invited to Roush Hall for a short reception with cookies and punch. Friends and family of actors gather to wish them congratulations. Bouquets of flowers are handed out, and the hall quickly fills with people from the set crew and design team as well. The energy in the room is apparent; it’s a small moment of victory for those who put months of effort into creating the musical.
