ALICE Play Cast 2026
Vilasani (Grade 8) and Nayeli (Grade 11) are two students at the International School of Hamburg who found a shared sense of purpose and creativity through school theatre. With American and German backgrounds, both are deeply engaged in the ISH community and committed to their academic journeys — Vilasani as a 13-year-old in Grade 8, and Nayeli as a Grade 11 student preparing for the International Baccalaureate. Having first taken the stage together in last year’s production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, they returned this year for ALICE, drawn by the intensity, collaboration, and joy that theatre brings. For Vilasani, the play became a space to explore creativity, expression, and confidence beyond the classroom. For Nayeli, it offered a meaningful balance to the demands of senior school — a place to recharge while still challenging herself artistically. Throughout rehearsals, both students embraced the commitment the production required, learning to manage time, embody complex characters, and work closely with a diverse cast united by a shared goal. Their reflections reveal how theatre helped them discover new strengths, build lasting connections, and see themselves as more than just students. In this podcast episode, Vilasani and Nayeli share what it means to choose creativity, to grow through collaboration, and to find voice and confidence through the arts. ALICE runs from February 10 to 12. For more information about the production, visit: 👉 https://info.ishamburg.org/alice
