The city of Memphis is home to things of all shapes and sizes. This diversity means that there are plenty of companies to go along with. These employers are always looking for people to hire for the jobs they’re offering. Who are these employers/companies you ask? You can look all around the city to find them, but the top three to look at are FedEx, AutoZone, and St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Jobs and their demand can be big factors in determining where you live in the area. Memphis houses for sale can also affect where you stay. FedEx FedEx is one of the largest companies in the world for logistics. They’ve got over 200,000 employees and six million vehicles! The company is huge and continues to grow every day. Of course, more growth leads to a demand for employees that can keep up with FedEx’s expansion. Not only will you have a well-paying job with FedEx, you’ll also have the opportunity to make someone’s day better. Imagine this, you’re dropping off that Christmas

Here are some qoutes of our interview with the cast during
its press presentation, about their roles, the characters, the trials and the
challenges they have to face.
Jenna Burns and Kevin Hack
Jenna Burns as Maria: “The most difficult part are the
emotional scenes that we have to dive into, the characters are younger than us,
its thinking back what is like the first time you fell in love, those feeling
for someone else and the discovery of that, which when we get older were used
to that feeling, those are the biggest thing we have to do.”
Kevin Hack as Tony: “For me it’s not very difficult, I
find a lot of line very natural in Tony, I just had to put the shoes and
costumes, make sure I can sing the notes and I’m good, the only time I have to
prepare to something is the last scene in the show.”
Keely Beirne and Kayla Moniz
Keely Beirne as Anita: “I’m so honored to play this role,
it’s the role I always admired as a person, as a woman, as a female lead
character in theater and I think she is so strong, its impressive for me that
it is written in 1950’s, and a woman had such power, control and confident.”
Lance Hayes and Waldemar Quinones-Villanueva
Lance Hayes as Riff: It’s an amazing show to get part of,
I could see the world.
Waldemar Quinones-Villanueva as Bernardo: “ We are
sending a message, the show is really sending a message about tolerance, love
and how hate gonna finish it.”
