हाई स्कूल के दिनों और इस नाटक में हम जिससे जुड़ाव महसूस करते हैं, उस पर बात करना; ऐसी बातें जो हमारे साथ हुई हैं और हमारे वे सारे स्कूली अनुभव जिन्हें हम इस नाटक में ला सकते हैं। और यह चर्चा करना कि हर कोई हर एक खास दृश्य से कैसे जुड़ाव महसूस करता है।

Talk about high school and what we identify with in the play; things that have happened to us and all of our high school experiences that we could bring to this. And to talk about what everyone knows in each specific scene.

जब मैं थोड़ी छोटी थी, तो मैं भी संगीत-नाटकों से उतनी ही दीवानगी की हद तक प्यार करती थी जितना कि यह किरदार करती है। मैं 'जीसस क्राइस्ट सुपरस्टार' की ऐसी दीवानी थी कि जब घर पर कोई नहीं होता था, तो मैं अपने कमरे में उसे दोहराया करती थी।

When I was a little younger, I really did love musical theatre in the same hopeless dorky way that she does. I was obsessed with Jesus Christ Superstar and I used to reenact it in my room when no one was home.

इस शो के बारे में जो बात मुझे सबसे ज्यादा खुश करती है और जो मैं चाहती हूँ कि लोग इससे सीखकर जाएं, वह यह है: "बस जैसे हो, वैसे ही रहो।" मुझे पता है कि यह बात बहुत घिसी-पिटी लगती है, लेकिन मुझे सच में लगता है कि खुद के साथ ईमानदार रहना और अपने आस-पास के सभी लोगों के साथ सच बोलना ही जीने का सबसे अच्छा तरीका है।

What makes me happy about the show, and what I hope people take away from it is: "Just be yourself." I know that's supremely corny, but I really think that just being honest with yourself and being honest with everyone around you is the best way to live.

मेरा शेड्यूल अभी काफी हल्का है। सब ठीक चल रहा है। गिडियन और जेसन दोनों ही पढ़ाई कर रहे हैं, इसलिए हम शो के बीच में और दिन के समय पढ़ाई के लिए वक्त निकाल लेते हैं। मुझे कोलंबिया यूनिवर्सिटी सचमुच बहुत पसंद है। हाई स्कूल की तरह, यहाँ मुझे हमेशा अव्वल आने (स्ट्रेट-ए लाने) का कोई दबाव महसूस नहीं होता। मुझे बस सीखना अच्छा लगता है।

I'm taking a pretty light load. I'm doing well. Gideon and Jason are both in school too, so we find time between shows to get work done, and during the day. I really like Columbia. Unlike high school, I don't feel any pressure to get straight-As. I just like learning.

उन्हें स्कूल में इस बारे में बात करने की अनुमति नहीं होती और शायद वे अपने माता-पिता से इस पर बात करने में असहज महसूस करते हैं। लेकिन इसके बजाय कि वे इस बारे में अनजान रहें, आज हमारे पास ये गैजेट्स हैं जिनसे हम इसके बारे में जान सकते हैं और अपने माता-पिता को बताए बिना खुद को संभावित रूप से खतरनाक स्थितियों में डाल सकते हैं।

They're not allowed to talk about it at school and they maybe feel uncomfortable talking about it with their parents. But instead of them not knowing about it, now we have these gadgets and we can learn about it and not tell our parents and get ourselves into potentially dangerous situations.

आप इन चैट-लाइंस पर जा सकते हैं। यह मुश्किल नहीं है, बहुत आसान है। शो जिस दूसरी बात को साफ तौर पर सामने लाता है, वह यह है कि इन मुद्दों पर खुलकर बात न करना ही बच्चों को इंटरनेट पर जाने और खुद जानकारी ढूंढने पर मजबूर करता है। और फिर उनका सामना मिस्टर हीली जैसे लोगों से होता है जो पार्क में उनसे मिलना चाहते हैं। यही सब चीज़ें बच्चों को और अधिक खतरनाक परिस्थितियों की ओर ले जाती हैं।

You can go to these chat-lines. It's not hard it's really easy. Another thing the show makes clear is not talking about these issues is what leads kids to go on the Internet and find out the information themselves. And then they come across people like Mr. Healy wanting to meet them in the park. That's what leads to these kind of more-dangerous things.

एक मजेदार बात यह है कि मेरे दादा-दादी यह शो देखने आने वाले हैं और मेरी माँ को चिंता थी कि वे इसे समझ नहीं पाएंगे, क्योंकि इसका बहुत सारा हिस्सा इंटरनेट पर आधारित है। हमारी पीढ़ी इससे खास तौर पर जुड़ाव महसूस करती है, क्योंकि हम वे लोग थे जिन्होंने सबसे पहले इंटरनेट की खोज की थी और हम में से ज्यादातर लोग शायद अपने माता-पिता से बेहतर तरीके से इंटरनेट चलाना जानते हैं। आप जो भी जानकारी जानना चाहें, वह सब बस एक क्लिक पर उपलब्ध है, और इस बात का तो जिक्र ही क्या कि आप यहाँ किसी से भी मिल सकते हैं!

One thing is funny because my grandparents are going to come see the show and my mom was concerned that they wouldn't understand, because so much of it is Internet-based. Our generation specifically really relates to it, because we were the first people to discover the Internet and most of us can maybe navigate the Internet better than our parents can. All this information you could ever possibly know is right at our fingertips, not to mention the fact you can meet anyone!

बच्चे इन गंभीर, बड़ों वाली समस्याओं का सामना कर रहे हैं। मैं बहुत बड़ी और सामान्य बातें कह रही हूँ, लेकिन हमारी संस्कृति इन चीज़ों को स्वीकार नहीं करती। सेक्स की वजह से प्रेगनेंसी भी होती है! बच्चों के पास हमेशा कोई ऐसा जरिया या कोई ऐसा व्यक्ति नहीं होता जिससे वे इस बारे में खुलकर बात कर सकें।

Kids dealing with these really adult-problems. I'm making big, generalized statements but our culture doesn't acknowledge these things. Sex does lead to pregnancy! Kids don't always have an outlet or someone they can talk to about it.

मुझे लगता है कि यही वजह है कि यह नाटक इतना रोमांचक है। मैं वाकई मानती हूँ कि यह नाटक बहुत जरूरी है क्योंकि ये ऐसे मुद्दे हैं जिन पर लोग खुलकर बात नहीं करते। यकीनन मेरे हाई स्कूल में तो इस तरह की बातों पर कभी चर्चा नहीं की गई। यही बात बच्चों के लिए इसे इतना मुश्किल बना देती है। लेकिन यह एक ऐसी सच्चाई है जिससे लोग गुजरते हैं।

I think that's also why it's so exciting. I really believe this play is important these are issues that people don't talk about. Certainly they never talked about this type of thing at my high school. That's what makes it so hard for kids. But it is something that people do go through.

मुझे एक उदाहरण बहुत पसंद है: दीवाता ने स्कूल के नाटक के लिए 'वंस अपॉन ए मैट्रेस' का एक शानदार गाना गाकर ऑडिशन दिया। मैं घर गई और मेरे बॉयफ्रेंड ने मेरे लिए उन धुनों को बजाया, और मुझे वह गाना सिर्फ इसलिए सीखना और तैयार करना पड़ा ताकि मैं जान सकूँ कि उसका अहसास कैसा होता है। रिहर्सल के दौरान मैंने कभी इतनी बारीकी का अनुभव नहीं किया था। जेसन मूर सचमुच कमाल के निर्देशक हैं।

An example I love: Diwata auditioned for the school play by doing a big number from Once Upon A Mattress. I went home and my boyfriend plunked out the notes for me, and I had to learn and prepare that song just so I could learn and know how that feels. I've never had that kind of detail in a rehearsal process. Jason Moore is absolutely unbelievable.

मुझे लगता है कि इसका अंतिम लक्ष्य यह है कि जब हम मंच से नीचे हों, तो हमें अपने किरदार की एक-एक सोच के बारे में पता हो। उम्मीद है कि जब हम मंच पर होंगे, तो हमारे विचार हमारे किरदार के ही विचार होंगे क्योंकि हम उनके बारे में इतनी गहराई से जानते हैं।

I think the ultimate goal is that when we're off-stage, we know everything our character is thinking. Hopefully when we are on-stage, our thoughts are our character's thoughts because we really know that much about them.

मुझे लगता है कि दीवाता उस सांचे में फिट नहीं बैठती। वह बहुत मुखर है, उसका व्यक्तित्व बहुत प्रभावशाली और दबंग है। मुझे नहीं पता कि मैं भी उस मायने में वैसी ही हूँ या नहीं, लेकिन उसे निभाने में मुझे जो खुशी मिलती है, वह इस बात से मिलती है कि उसे किसी के सांचे में ढलने या फिट बैठने की कोई जरूरत महसूस नहीं होती। यह बात बेहद प्रेरणादायक है।

I think that Diwata does not fit that mold. She's loud, she's a huge personality, she's imposing. I don't know if I'm the same thing in that sense, but what gives me the joy in playing her is the total rejection of needing to fit in. It's so inspiring.

इस किरदार [दीवाता] को निभाना ने मुझे वास्तव में अपने उस हिस्से से जुड़ने का मौका दिया है, जिससे पिछले कुछ सालों से मेरा संपर्क छूट गया था। और मैं जानती हूँ कि अपने आस-पास के लोगों से अलग होना और अमेरिका की इस सोच के सांचे में फिट न बैठना कैसा होता है कि एक लड़की को "कैसा होना चाहिए।"

Portraying this character [Diwata] has really given me an opportunity to get in touch with that side of myself, which I haven't been for a few years. And I do know what it's like to be different from people around you and not fit into the prototypical mold of what America sort of thinks a girl "should be."

हाई स्कूल में, लोगों को कभी-कभी दूसरों की तरह बनने के लिए प्रोत्साहित किया जाता है। इस शो की सबसे अच्छी बात यह है कि ये बच्चे अजीब और अलग हैं और कुछ कर दिखाने का जज़्बा रखते हैं। वे जानते हैं कि वे क्या चाहते हैं और उसे पाने के लिए आगे बढ़ते हैं। वे अजीब हैं और इस बात से इंकार नहीं करते। यही चीज़ उन्हें खास बनाती है।

In high school, people are sometimes encouraged to be like everyone else. What's so great about this show is that these kids are weird and different and over-achievers. They know what they want and they're going after it. They're weird and they don't deny it. That's what makes it special.
