While the show’s writer, Jeremy praised the actors currently participating in the ongoing theatre festival, including Amber, as he told Vogue, “So many new theatre artists, Katina (Medina Mora), Nicholas (Alexander Chavez), Whitney (Peak), Amber (Heard), and many more have thrown themselves headfirst into this world. I’m in awe of each of the people assembled this summer.”
