A Born Actress: Mikala Neimeier has always loved performing
By Anthony Bopp
VINTON - There are some people who seem born for the performing arts, and spending time with Mikala Neimeier would seem to make it clear she was born to perform.
Mikala, 13, is featured in the upcoming production of Bus Stop from ACT I of Benton County in one of the show's most demanding roles. But that seems to be only added incentive to this energetic girl, who appears to have been preparing for the stage since early childhood and will continue her ACT I performances this summer in the acclaimed musical 13. 'Date Night' coming to Palace; 'Wimpy Kid' gets kicked off schedule again
Channing Tatum stars as John Tyree, a handsome Army Special Forces specialist home on two weeks' leave. Amanda Seyfried plays Savannah, a lovely young woman whose purse falls off a pier. John dives in, retrieves it, and they fall deeply in love as only Nicholas Sparks can tell it.
No, this is not the plot from “Diary of a Wimpy Kid.
