A Child’s Christmas in Wales – Cast Interview: 
Sophia Mitri Schloss (Younger Dylan)
Interview by Carolynne Wilcox, PR Manager
How old are you?
I’m 8 years old
What Character are you playing in A Child’s Christmas in Wales?
I’m playing Young Dylan Thomas.
Is this your first production?
NO, I was in Book-It Repertory Theatre’s Red Ranger Came Calling last Christmas.
How long have you been performing, Sophia?
Well, I’ve been doing plays – I think that play was last year – but I’ve been acting since I was 4.
Have you done film work too?
I did a lot of short films and I did some commercials and some tv things – last Friday night (Nov ??) I was on Grimm (NBC) – it was the pilot.
What do you like about performing?
Well, I like just being another character, like being someone who, not because – especially for this (Wales) – I play a totally different person, I’m a boy and I like to watch boys and I think it’s kind of interesting finding the differences between me and the character and I just like, especially in theatre, making people laugh and stuff – the audience – it makes me feel good to see people enjoying everything.
Very thoughtful answer! What has been your favorite thing so far about rehearsing for A Child’s Christmas In Wales?
Let’s see – I think the storytelling part: we’re all telling stories it’s like a character being another character and really, the stories are kind of funny and I just like blocking with everybody, everybody’s so nice…yeah.
