Auli'i Cravalho & Damon J. Gillespie Impress Their Teachers in 'Rise' Sneak Peek - Watch Now!

We cannot wait for the premiere of Rise this week!

In a new sneak peek at the show, stars Auli’i Cravalho and Damon J. Gillespie receive an acting lesson from their drama club teachers.

While running through lines for Spring Awakening, Damon‘s character Robbie is a little tense.

But with a little help from Mr. Mazzuchelli, who tells him to “not act,” and just to be himself, Robbie totally nails the part.

By the end of the scene, Robbie and Auli’i‘s character look like they’re about to kiss, with emotion exuding from the two students.

Rise premieres March 13 at 10/9c on NBC.
