The Kenyon Collegian have published a great article on the production of Liberal Arts which took place on their campus earlier this summer. Check out a preview below and be sure to read the full article which contains lots more info HERE.
“I heard rumors that Zac Efron was coming on the first day I started working, which was about a week and a half before shooting,” Arbery said. “I was not allowed to mention him at all. We didn’t want extras coming just because Zac Efron was in it. We didn’t want them to tell their friends and bring cameras and spoil the quiet, concentrated set.”
Efron’s “Nat” is “a pivotal character in the movie,” according to Radnor. The High School Musical star was on campus from June 17-18 and completed all his scenes in that time. Most Kenyon students (and visiting OSU students) saw Efron during the filming of the party scene in the DKE lounge in the Old Kenyon basement, which required many extras.
“One night I had to get 80 extras for an Old Kenyon party scene, and when the Second Assistant Director came in and told them that Zac Efron was coming, there was a collective gasp and then a flurry of whispers,” Arbery said.
“[Efron] was walking by, getting ready to do another take, and he winked right at me,” Kaitlin Graff ’12 said. “I’ve been working on my winking ever since so the next time I see him I’ll be ready.”
