Check out Daily Princetonian featuring PCT's latest production, AND THEN THERE WERE NONE, with a conversation with the director, Jianing Zhao!

Meet the cast: 祝沈含 Sophia Zhu 'GS

我是祝沈含，普林斯顿建筑学院硕士一年级,在《无人生还》中扮演艾米莉。这次参演《无人生还》对我来说是个非常特别的经历。从来都是坐在台下看戏，遇到好的表演时，会感觉到自己被戏剧的张力所感染，有时还恨不得能够跑到台上去。非常感谢PCT慷慨包涵了没有任何表演经历的我。隔着舞台的距离听别人讲了许多年故事，终于也有机会换我们来给大家讲一个故事。

My name is Sophia Zhu, a first year Graduate student at Princeton University School of Architecture. I play Emily in And Then There Were None. It has been such a unique experience for me to be a part of the play, and it is also my first real acting practice. After all the reheasal sessions during the semester, now I am so glad that I decided to put myself out there from the beginning, take challenges, and work with the amazing team scene by scene together. Hope everyone enjoy watching the play as much as we enjoy making it!
