She was Tweedle Dum in Alice in Wonderland Jr, the Camp Director in the summer stock production of Summer Camp, a Musical Caper, Pabbie in Frozen Jr, and now as a Wickersham Brother in Seussical Jr. Role in Seussical: A Wickersham Brother How long have you been a Footlight Player? Lola joined Footlight last year. I like modern art and new technology, but wow, does that classic art impress and inspire me. I love classic Greek art and their attention to detail and realism. Favorite Work of Art: That I did? Right now it’s this realistic fish I digitally painted. Favorite Color: Green! I love green! Pastel green, mossy green, all green! It reminds me of everything that I like about myself and the world, and has a slightly toxic (pun intended) and dark history that really interests me, not to mention it’s just a really nice looking color. What I have in artistic skill, I lack in baking ability. They are the only things that I know how to cook.

Why: How can someone be that smart and good at art?! Ask Leonardo! He’s just plain impressive, and if anything, how cool would it be to be like him? To be remembered as, “How can someone be that good at that many things? It’s amazing!” Favorite Musician: Cosmo Sheldrake Favorite Food: Eggs. Other Extra Curriculars: I’ve been playing since 4th grade, and I am in Park’s concert band and jazz bands Favorite Artist: Leonardo da Vinci And while through the years I’ve changed and grown a lot, that’s the one thing that's always stayed the same. Sports: Ever since I was a really little kid, I knew one thing about myself: I hated sports. Nickname: Lolita (but only my mom calls me that) Age/Grade: 13 years old School: Park Junior High Siblings: Gloria, 11 Roxanne, 8 Pets: Brunhilda the Crested Gecko, Speedy the Bearded Dragon, Caliana the Ball Python When we asked if she wanted to design the cover of the program for us, we had no idea how incredible and versatile her work would be.

promotional materials! We are thrilled to be able to share her work with you through the promotion of our 'See you at the Solla Sollew Virtual Cabaret'! We discovered Lola's talent when Stage Manager Tina Cucci Fischer saw her 'doodles' during rehearsal. Lola is a member of the Community Footlight Players of La Grange Park, and the artist behind the design of our Seussical Jr. We had hoped to make this introduction sooner, and since we don't know exactly when we might get back to the stage we are going to do it now! We'd like to take the opportunity to introduce La Grange Park resident and artist, Lola Podolner. Footlight Players Artist Spotlight: Lola Podolner
