After going through treatment for cancer, Ella has taken on a new “Seize the Day” mentality. Throughout the show, Ella is always showing the people around her how to live life to the fullest and not be afraid of anything. I learned so much from playing Ella and I am so incredibly grateful for all that I have learned. Playing Ella was an absolute dream come true. What is Ella like to play and was there anything that drew you to the role? I admire Ella’s strength, determination, and excitement toward life. Post cancer, Ella is not afraid to be herself, and she is also incredibly adventurous. We meet Ella when she is returning to school after beating cancer with a brand-new perspective, excitement for what the future holds, and a major seize the day mentality. Before cancer, Ella was focused more on pleasing others and was afraid to be herself.
