VISION TO FRUITION: Senior Anderson Zoll hugs freshman Maggie Brown after the closing night of "Cows: The Moosical" on April 26.

Despite the two narrators seen on stage throughout the performance, the real storyteller of "Cows" was senior Anderson Zoll, who transformed "Cows" from an idea to a full-scale production.

“I helped produce a musical last year, and that had such a big impact on me that I knew I wanted to continue to write, direct, and choreograph,” Zoll said. “The main inspiration for 'Cows' specifically was the name 'Cows: The Moosical.' I liked the title and created a show that would fit it.”

Despite the lightheartedness and goofy feel of "Cows," the show was made possible only through hard work and effort not only Zoll but also the many students who helped him bring his vision to fruition.

“Some of my favorite moments were the late nights I spent in practice rooms with my friends building harmonies, accompaniment and lyrics.” Zoll said. “I had so much fun during the writing process of this show, and I am really happy with how it turned out.”

The process of putting together a full musical; writing, choreography, set, costumes, music, lighting—it’s hard to do all at once. With cast and crew members busy schedules, there wasn’t a single day where everyone was available until the days of the show.

“It was super rewarding to see it all come together so quickly,” Zoll said. “I was extremely happy to see that the writing worked and that the story was reading well to the audience. The only time we had everyone there at the same time was the days of the show, so it was definitely very stressful. But the "Cows" community worked so well together, and I am extremely proud of the end product.”
