Highschool, Musicals & Plays Options

[Hiphop d[-_-]b]

Okay, so im in my highschool play Aida. Its a story of love war and hate. Its a really good play, and if you actually pay attention to depth of situations , the story could make you cry. Have you ever been in or seen your school musicals or plays ? If you havent, i suggest you do.

Being in a play could actually be great . It does sometimes get tiring but i have so much fun and quickly made lots of new friends.

Aida Synopsis
Above is a URL for a summary of the play. I suggest you check it out, its a really GOOD play.

This is only 2 verse of an ACT 1 Scene 1 [ basically the first song in the play ] song that explains a little bit of the story.

This is the story
Of a love that flourished
In a time of hate

Of lovers no tyranny could separate
Love set into motion on the Nile's shore
Destiny ignited by an act of war

I was in a play for middle school.

Umm, I am trying out for the musical Pirates of the Panzan or something like that...

I have seen a few plays for my school, I am actually going Friday or Saturday to see the Crucible.

[*RiC3xBoy*]

Last year for our school was Into the Woods and the year before that was Grease, sadly, I did not get to see any?

[Teesa]

Yes, our school's latest production was Fame. It was soooo good! There were so many brilliant actors and actresses in it, I was amazed..it was the first one I attended, and it will certainly not be my last.

[KissMe2408]

OMG your highschool is doing "Aida" as their play?!?!? no wayyy, what highschool do you go to? i would kill to be in that play. The music is soo good, i have the soundtrack :)
I saw it at Toby's Dinner Theatre a month ago...oh man it was so amazing, i def cried a few times. I'm so jealous that you get to do it for your highschool play!!!
lol As for me right now i'm in "seussical the musical" :) That has really great music too, really funky and stuff.
What part do you have in Aida?
I would kill to be a tree in the background

[Hiphop d[-_-]b]

^ Hah a tree in the background Im a Palace Woman, a Nubian Slave , a wedding guest and im a pyramid mover.

Yeah, last night at rehearsal i was behind my pyramid getting ready to move it along, and the docks scene were Aidas father leaves after Mereb dies and he yells out her name .. made me tear cos i realized that was the last time he ever saw his daughter alive.

[KissMe2408]

^whoa that is so awesome! i command you to post up pictures when you start the show!! lol ;) I'm really excited for you :)
Yah i teared up on that part too, i teared up most of the 2nd act. lol.
The songs just went straight to your heart...
I would have probably cried in the first act if i didn't have to go to the bathroom so bad lol.

We just finished up doing the play "Harvey" last weekend. I'm so sad it's over, though. It was so much fun.
Last year, I was in a play called "Band Bang, You're Dead". It was about a school shooting.
And in 2 weeks I'm trying out for the musical "A Secret Garden".

Yeah, I'm a theatre geek

[jennyjenny]

Yep.

Two years ago (middle school) it was Honk. It was sort of like this story about the ugly duckling. My friend was lead actress :)

And there's this play November 10, 11, and 12th i think. First highschool play for me. It's called Pippin'.

[Hiphop d[-_-]b]

Im planning on somewhow getting pictures, but since im on or backstage for pretty much every scene i dont know how im going to. But ill take pictures of the set and try to get my friends to take pictures :D

Our school doesn't have a drama program anymore

[b0st0ngrl]

Our school doesn't have a drama program anymore 

Wow. I would kill myself if I went to your school.
Ok, well, I wouldn't kill myself, but yeah.

[silver-rain]

I think there's a topic about this somewhere...
But anyways, I can't act or sing so I don't usually participate in any school plays or whatever. But, I want to do SING! this year, as part of a dance crew. I was part of the costume crew for SING! last year...
My school has put on several productions. This year, they did "A Chorus Line," going to do "Antigone." Last year, they had "Into The Woods," "A Raisin in the Sun," "Once Upon a Mattress" and more. They're actually really good.

[meleonade]

yeah our school had "Grease" for a musical last year. it was pretty awesome but we probably wont have one this year cuz one of the teachers retired

[simx]

Wow. I would kill myself if I went to your school.
Ok, well, I wouldn't kill myself, but yeah.

heh well I'm a band person myself so it doesn't really matter to me

[*stephinika*]

mm yuup. 2 years ago i was part of the chorus for bye bye birdie and this year we're doing fiddler on the roof. my audition was yesterday so yeah.
my school's also done cinderella and joseph & the technicolour dreamcoat in the past.

[yummy_delight]

We've always got the best plays.

Last year we did Cinderella and Kiss Me Kate. (I got into both shows, but I couldn't do them because I had a lot of scheduling and personal conflicts.)

This year it's A Christmas Carol and Little Shop of Horrors.

I'm SO trying out for Little Shop of Horrors.

[lilliannnn]

We just did our fall play. It was Harvey. About a man who see's a 6 foot rabbit that no one else sees. It's really funny actually.

[Hiphop d[-_-]b]

I hella want to do little shop of horrors !

Next year theyre looking at Grease & Camelot.

Im going to post up pictures of the play After Nov. 11 hopefullyyyy.

[Soleil]

Ya the one i looved at our school was Les Miserables...2 years back.

[miss-_-guitar]

ya i was in a play called curtain going up. it was a bout some highschool students making a play. which was weird cause thats what we were. it was soooo muck fun though. im trying out for the school play again this year. our school hesent done a musical but im trying to convince the drama teacher to do one. he said he might if he can find ppl who can sing and act.

[Hiphop d[-_-]b]

Ya the one i looved at our school was Les Miserables...2 years back.

My school did Les Mis last year. It was incredible. There was scene for the car crash when Valjean [ supposed to be old and fragile ] lifted the cart/car and the flashing lights made the speeding car and the people running and the screams and the car REAL. =0

[Herizon Action]

you know what a cool play would be... Createblog: the musical. I'll star As Dani!

[*danielle_x3*]

Aida was a great play `=) i was never in any plays/musicals, but i'm going to try out for one this year, i just don't know which play.

[Hiphop d[-_-]b]

Ooh Thatd be hella cool. I want to be Bella :D

Some of us should team up [ in a chat or something ] and collaborate on it, make a small play and post it as a topic on cB or something.

[b0st0ngrl]

Aaaw, that was our play!
-tear- I'm sad that it's over. It was so much fun

[misoshiru]

i know we've done quite a few. but the ones from when i came as a freshman:
pippin, wild oats, west side story, and ...i can't remember.

[pbear]

i saw one a few years back, one of shakespeare's, but i'm blanking out on which.
last week there was lady windmere's fan, and soon les mis is starting up.

[Hiphop d[-_-]b]

Les Mis is a wonderful play, the one that inspired me to join plays in the first place :D

[Crich323]

This year the school I'm at is doing Guys and Dolls.
I won't get a big part or even a medium part because I'm a freshman.....

I live in a small town too so it's not like our school has a big budget for a HUGE production either.

[WickedDreamer]

Oh, yeah, a few highlights have been Annie in Jr. High (I played Grace!), and in high school Peter Pan (complete with flying... but I was Tootles, so I didn't get to fly...), then The Laramie Project, which was really thought provoking and Delusion which was the world premire we also did Honk and Moby d**k-the Musical. Those are just a few, we generally do five or so plays a year.

[Hiphop d[-_-]b]

I was just about to bump this. My choir is performing Hairspray, the broadway musical on Friday and Saturday.
