SWITCHING UP: mactheatremfaa’s spring production of Freaky Friday completed its opening weekend with a matinee show at 2 p.m. Sunday in the MAC. 

The show follows the story of Katherine and Ellie Blake, a mother-daughter duo that switch bodies. This duo requires their actors to develop 2 characters and navigate switching between them. 

Sophomore Elodie Bollich, who plays both Katherine and Katherine in Ellie’s body, said switching characters got easier throughout the rehearsal process.

“I think it was difficult in the beginning,” Bollich said. “Paityn Jones and I had to find certain things that both of us did as each character and solidify it in each of our performances. I don’t think it’s hard to switch because Paityn and I are both very good at feeding off each other’s energy and portraying each other.”

After closing the first weekend of shows, Bollich said she felt good about the cast’s performance.

“I think we had an amazing opening weekend,” Bollich said. “There was so much positive feedback. People told me that we made them laugh and cry multiple times throughout the show.”

Bollich said that although her favorite part of her role is the comedy, she hopes that the show’s meaning will resonate with audiences.

“I hope that they all reflect on their own relationships with their families, specifically mother-daughter relationships, and take into consideration what they might be going through.”
