star in a play

I’m now the Wicked Witch of the West!

i was wantin any part, but i guess i suck at singing… soooo im the stage manager. which is good still. i like bossing people around too.. lol so i guess i failed at this one…..

I had a small part in my school’s production of O Brother, Where Art Thou? a few years back. My part was mainly musical and I only had three lines, but I still managed to mess up during a performance. =]

It was a great experiance, I’d love to do it again. =]

On April 26th, 2008 I was the lead in the play Kindertransport. I played Eva Schlesinger, a Jewish German girl growing up during World War II. I directed it, too because it was my senior theatre project. (I’m a theatre major at Cedarville University.) I just graduated.

Just once I would love to be Tess in Taming of the Shrew. My monologue from the play won me a spot in the Governor’s school for the performing arts when I was in high school. I’d love to perform the entire role. I’m getting older, I better get on this one. If not this role – anything from Tennesee Williams. Who am I kidding, I’d take any lead I was offered if it got me on stage! Just to do it again would be a blast.

My first lead role was Freshman year. I was Emily in Small Actors. I loved it! I was so surprised that I got the lead. It’s stressful and awesome and completely exhausting! I went to my friends house right after the play and passed out on her bed… Then I tried out for a part in Strawberry Jam, but go the lead again instead. That was fun, too. Now, I still want all the big parts I can get but I’m not concerned. I had my moment.

i’ve never been a lead before and for a while i thought that’s all i wanted. i still want to be an actress but i don’t think that i need to be the star. i’m an ensemble type of girl. i was thinking about that the other day. i’ve always played sports, and i was in band and chorus and in those things we all work together. there is no star. that’s the type of person i am. a team-player. it was never about me, and i don’t need it to be either.

really want to do this one day, but dont see it happening anytime soon. putting it on the back burner.

Ok so I’m not the main charactar, but a slighlty minor/ main charactar. I’m satisfied though, it will be fun even though I’m not the star!

My school put on Footloose and I was cast as Vi Moore. I got to sing onstage for the first time in my life and had a great time. :)
