“Broome holds a special place in my heart so this opportunity felt like something I just couldn’t pass up on,” Higgins said. “I fell in love with all the characters when I read the script, ecspecially my character (Annie) who is a hilarious hippie. Being my first go at acting I’m a bit terrified but I feel very honored to be working alongside such an incredible cast and crew and I know it’s gonna be a lot of fun.”
