Margaret-Erin Easley was marvelous as Elizabeth, the not-verygood dancer who doesn't really know what she wants. She has exquisite comedic timing, and is a world-class face maker. This woman could conduct classes in scowling and pouting.

A newcomer entering into this closely knit circle might feel a bit threatened. 'Noises Off' cast member Margaret-Erin Easley from Santa Barbara High certainly did. 'The first day I came I was so intimidated I wanted to cry and run home,' Easley said. 'These were the big guys from the big time saying stuff like 'Remember that movie we did?' And now I'm right back there making faces with the rest of them. I'm learning fast.'
