I think Topher is selling himself short. Having grown up with him, I seem to remember a pretty big role in a middle school play when he was only in 6th grade. He was a natural on the stage from a very young age. Congrats on your huge success!
Regarding Lonely I'm Not
I loved the performances of Topher and Olivia -who inhabited their roles so totally and had great chemistry.
The supporting cast was also marvelous and brought distinction to each of the characters they played.
Please comment on the remarkable set design which was a character in itself!
