Morgan has the most featured role of the six Narragansett girls, and is a three-year veteran of the performance. She was selected this past year for an intensive summer program with the ballet, and also performed at Waterfire.

All six girls auditioned in early September. Rehearsals began in late September, and each girl has spent their weekends up in Providence performing.
