| 17m50s | The actors tell Bob why they’re actors. Agatha says “You give your heart to the world.” It can be scary to be on stage, but once you’re on stage you get enraptured in your character and you forget you’re being observed. It helps to wear the costumes to get into the skin of the character. | ||
| 29m44s | What happens when the show is over? Ezran says “I cry.” Argent says when you enjoy playing a character it’s hard to put it down. Evie says “Every show I’ve been in, I want to do again.” ActOUT! is for kids up to 17 years of age, what will they do when they’re older? They can volunteer with ActOUT!, and may even consider going into professional theatre, or working backstage in costumes, props, or set design. Maybe even become playwrights! | ||

| 38m11s | The actors recite some lines from their plays, and Ezran and Argent sing a bit from from High School Musical Jr. | ||
| 43m24s | The performance is in a couple of weeks, what’s left to do? The actors tell Bob about the rehearsals, practicing blocking; it’s all nit-picky stuff now. | ||
| 46m15s | Bob asks about ticket availability, tickets are availble from the ActOUT! KW website. There are eight performances, two each day. The actors will be missing school! But the teachers are pretty chill, and don’t mind. | ||
| 49m30s | Coming up next for ActOUT! is the summer camps. This is for all ages. Don’t know what plays will be performed. Argent is aging out, but will be in a Singer’s Theatre production, Carrie The Musical. | ||
| 56m30 | Goodbyes, Thank Yous, and Bob gives the end credits. | ||
