What a cool thread!

I have been in:
"Holiday for toys"
"Oliver!"
"You're a good man Charlie Brown"
"Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat"
"Just when you thought it was safe to turn on your TV "(What a pain it was whenever someone asked what the name of the show was)
"The Crucible"
Also I did this documentry for this town near me. It's cool they had a screaning for the video at the end and stuff.

I was in the Israelie day parade a LONG day ago, but I didn't have to audtion or anything so it isn't listed on my resume.

Right now I am in Les Miserables. 6 months of reseral to go!

Now lets not go into what play's I have had to drop out of. Directors are still mad at me. :-\

Six months???? Wow! My alma mater did "Les Mis" last year. I'd seen the movie before but never the play. Fantastic. It made me cry, and that basically NEVER happens when I watch a play. And "Joseph" again -- yay!!!!

A friend and I provided the video services for a production of "Return to the Forbidden Planet" a few years ago. Live and prerecorded video effects, a video link between the onstage cast and an off-stage actor, prerecorded video inserts... Great fun!

In highschool I almost played margareta in a play based on "Faust", but since the others didn't want to study there lines, it got cancelled.

My part was the biggest part that wasn't divided between several actors.

It was really too bad it got cancelled, I was really starting to get the hang of the whole crazy thing...

And in elementary school I was in a play every year

Let's see...

the first year I was a gnome and I had to run from the seven footed giant en crawl into this really tiny cardboard house with another gnome. Well, the seven footed giant stept on me and the other gnome wet himself, when we we're in the house.

The year after that we got to make our own parts and I was a fortuneteller. My cousin was the giggling princess, because she giggled constantly, but ofcourse during the play it sounded really really fake...

Hmmm let's see the next couple of years a kind of a blur...
I played a grandmother, that was fun. I got to sing and scold a guy who was older than me, because he was supposed to be my son. In the same play, I had to other minor parts. Uhmm a burglar and uhmm... I think a circus director, again with a song, but that could have been the year after that.

In my final year I played a crazy professor, which was teh lead. But since we got picked on age and not talent, that wasn't really a big deal.

Then I went to highschool and for some stupid reason (probably finance) they stopped the anually schoolmusicals!


so that's my cirriculum vitea

When I start rambling again, please stop me or back away slowly.

I always loved acting, but I never got to do anything. There wasn't a dramaclub within maybe 50 miles from where I lived.

And now I'm saving up for a camera, so I can't join one either.

[Don'tLiveonMoon]

Oh boy..... You ready for the list....?

Wow! You've been in quite a lot! And Cinderella and Julie Jordan... quite impressive! I would love to be in either of those shows. Over the summer a friend of mine played Julie at a local playhouse, but it was only for one weekend - the weekend of my grandparents' 50th anniversary party seven hours out of town. I was really bummed that I missed it.

The Irony of it was, I asked them not to cast me as Julie Jordon.....

I reallly really wanted to play Carrie...

 

[BJC899]

Very Nice List!

This place where I did 3 of the shows on my list called me last year to play the prince in Cinderella. I didn't take the part. This summer I hope to be in a show, and I might audition for Guys and Dolls at my high school. It depends...

I have always wanted to be Jack in Into the Woods (don't ask), maybe someday I will get that part...

Oh yea, Joseph was really fun. It's a colorful show. One song he's about to die, next it's a jamican type music-Very fun show.

I had to drop out of a show once-well things got complicated at home-but I almost put the director in the hospital. I kicked over the school flag by accident and the pole almost crashed on his head. :hide: it fell RIGHT next to him.

Ok, I don't have really anyother stories. Does anyone know the story of the crucible? if you do say so, something really funny happened during reseral once, but you have to know the story to understand.

yay!

Well it was about a week before we opened. It was such a stresfull time for us. In the script during the courtoom scene, the girls start screaming because they see a yellow bird. All of a sudden from the celling a yellow glove is lowered. I guess it was a had-to-be-there thing, because we didn't stop laughing for so long. It was so funny. On show night I tripped over one of the platfoarms on the stage. I was headed for my face, but someone caught me and just "talked" onstage to make it look like it was supposed to happen. :hide:


Ok, now I don't have anymore stories.
