^I never knew that was a play, que buena.

I was in charge of the stage lights for the productin of Snow Angels in December which was like, the best job everrrr. Not only was it so much easier than memorizing lines (I had a script in front of me the whole time), but I had a view that usually only the Director would have. dance.gif

In March I'll be playing Helena in A Midsummer Night's Dream. Oh, joy. _unsure.gif

My school is also doing West Side Story, and it's coming out in the spring. I'm the head of Production, in charge of overseeing sets, lights, audio, actors, and all that backstage stuff. It's good experience, since I'm planning on going into Co-op for television production next year.

I might have a speaking part in the next play, as children would also not want to be subjected to my gorgeous vocal skills. pinch.gif laugh.gif

Aww, dude, you're gonna have so much fun... I wanna do it again.

Oh, and just a tip, make sure the makeup people realize that there ARE some old people in the play (well, one, Shrank isn't really old), and have stuff on hand to grey hair. Our guys didnt get that, so we ended up dumping a load of foundation in my hair, which turned to a lovely paste when I tried to wash it out.

Beauty and the Beast... lighting! lol. not talented enough to be in the case

Oooh. We are making our own original script and act it out. My character doesn't have a name...yet, the script is still not finished.
Joss-eh-lime
Our school is putting on Charlie Brown. but i wont be in it.
our drama club is really lame.

When I went to public school, we did "Once Upon A Mattress" (modern and funny version of the fairy tale, Princess and the Pea).

I was part of the pit orchestra, playing the solo oboe part on my violin.

Does that count?

That's the classic. I wish my school had a play going on. But we haven't had one since...October.

Actually, I haven't tried out for the part yet. During all school plays, I always make it as Narrator, because I have the loudest voice & I memorize pretty quick. rolleyes.gif

I might try out for a main role this year, though. Haha, Juliet? Maybe... shifty.gif
breakingdawn
My school is doing the Magic Flute: Reloaded. Auditions are in March, though. I want to get the part of the Queen, which is the main female role. I think I have a pretty good chance.

*Cringes while trying to imagine the paste* haha thanks, I'll relay that to Makeup. What were the biggest problems with West Side Story when you did it (goes out the everyone)? Dance rehearsals are killing me, I think the Assistant Director might want to rethink her choices! My school takes the plays pretty seriously, which is why we have only one per year, with three back-to-back runs, and they treat it like "a real theatrical production!" (according to the programs.) And I thought Grease was hard last year. Although the dancing in West Side Story is pretty demanding. But West Side Story is a lot of fun. :)
I Shot JFK
Well, this wasn't WEst Side specific, but our entire sound board crashed 10 minutes before curtain-up on opening night, s owe had no mics, no nothing... then 1 minute before, it went up again.

The biggest problem we had was at the start of America, it is REALLY hard to ensure that Rosalia's timing is in with the band... a couplke of times she had to start singin in the middle of her line because the speech before is long-ish... rehearse that to death...

Oh, and make sure that the backgorund characters are frigging ACTING. West Side has to be full of life or it wont come off... even if they dont have a speaking part, get everyone dancing, smiling, showing off, flirting, all that jazz. energy, energy, energy!

Oh, and a minor point, but in the scene at the end, when Doc has to slap Tony, MAKE SURE tony wears hi smic on the same side of his face every night, because the guy playing Tony in ours randomly swapped it round on enight, so I went to slap him as rehearsed, and then the mic was there, so I bitch slapped a ratehr expensive piece of equiptment, which made just a LOVELY noise. lol.

Our musical was How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying (obscenely long title)

Right now I'm in a play called Check Please, pt. 2.... it's a one act... and the straight play is going to be Much Ado About Nothing.

Our school just held auditions for that play.
I didnt try out though, I had a feeling I wouldnt make it.
ksoyeah
Well, I don't have the guts to tryout for anything...but...

We had The Diary of Anne Frank, [[I end up filming. xD]] back in November, and right now they're working on Grease.

^ My school did Grease last year. It was awesome, my favourite school play. GREASE LIGHTNING!

West Side Story's "America" refuses to leave my brain.
I Shot JFK
^ It will never leave you... Ever.

^ I hope that wasn't supposed to sound as sinister as it did. _unsure.gif

Hmm, 2 years ago I was doing the remixed version of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Eh, I know, a bit babyish. But the drama club changed the setting into modern day and the title became Snow White and the Seven Ings. The Dwarfs were called Ings because of their names...Daring, Crying, Caring, etc.
This year, however, my school's doing High School Musical. =D
I can't wait to see it.
