Taken Away: A Musical Trilogy (2024)

Role: Lily

Northwestern University’s 93rd Annual Waa-Mu Show

Written by Evan Trotter Wright, Avery Powers, Emerson Steady, Sadie Fridley, Max Outcalt, Daniel Calderon

Directed by Tommy Rapley

  • Lily Ramras, Anand Choudhary, Henry Jones, Kate McCracken, Declan Collins, Anna Rosenthal, Kiki Sikora, Sadie Fridley, Sarah Novak

  • The show begins with “The Art of the Heist,” a supernatural tale that follows an artist who must steal back the last portrait of her late lover, followed by “Stolen Thunder,” a reimagining of Greek myth portraying the struggle for power between Zeus and Athena. It closes with “A Bird’s Song,” which centers on a whimsical forest-surrounded town outside reality, where melodies have transformational consequences.

“Eikner leaves a mark with her deftly sinister performance as Lily.”

— Jaharia Knowles, The Daily Northwestern
