theatre survey. screw facebook notes.

Once you've been tagged, fill this out. At the end, tag 25 more actors including me. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you.

LAST SHOW YOU AUDITIONED FOR:TheatreOne's 2007/2008 season.
DID YOU GET IT:No...but then again, the season was supposed to be four shows long, and the show I was auditioning for ended up cut, so really, who cares?
LAST SONG YOU USED AT AN AUDITION: Dream of Now from the Music Man (auditioning for Urinetown the Musical)
FAVORITE MUSICAL(s): not a huge fan of musicals, to tell you the truth.
FAVORITE PLAY(s): Elizabeth Rex by Timothy Findley, Shakespeare's Macbeth
FAVORITE ROLE YOU'VE PLAYED, AND FROM WHAT SHOW?: Errol Flynn's widow Beverly in The Other Shoe
FAVORITE ROLE OVERALL THAT I WOULD LOVE TO PLAY: something sarcastic. a la Jeanine Garofolo (sp?)
SUPERSTITION: the more I want something, if I think about it the less likely it is to happen. I get very morose just before an audition.
YOUR GOAL IN SHOW BUSINESS: one day, if i can, and if it's right. get back into it.
WHAT WAS YOUR VERY FIRST SHOW?: holy cow, my answer is the exact same as Becky's! a dance recital when i was seven, a mouse in The Night Before Christmas, and then first role with lines was as the mother in fifth grade! Oh wait, I lied: I had lines as the Cat in the Halloween play that same year.
HAVE YOU EVER HAD A DANCE SOLO?: there was a solo written for my character in a certain musical, that a certain choreographer cut for no reason. so, we won't go into that one.
HAVE YOU EVER HAD A SINGING SOLO?: sure have: besides choir, my first role with a vocal solo was the mother in grade five. Dick Whittington and His Magic Cat. The Music Man, Urinetown the Musical.
HAVE YOU EVER BEEN THE LAST PERSON TO TAKE A BOW?: Twelfth Night, baby! I was Viola. :)
HAVE YOU BEEN TO NY? No, but I'd love to, obviously!
HAVE YOU BEEN TO LA?Drove through on the way to San Diego
WHAT'S THE SCARIEST PART OF AN AUDITION? Starting
WHAT'S THE BEST PART OF AN AUDITION?Finishing
NAME A SHOW YOU WOULD NEVER DO AGAIN: Anything Greek, and any pantomime.
NAME A SHOW YOU COULD DO FOR YEARS: The Crucible
WHAT ARE YOU AUDITIONING FOR NEXT? Nothing on my plate until Anna's at least in preschool.
DO YOU KEEP IN TOUCH WITH PAST CAST MEMBERS?: My best friends definitely.
ON A SCALE OF 1-10, HOW IMPORTANT IS GETTING PAID? depends on the show. If I'm not paying you to teach me something I don't know, then you should definitely be paying me.
SOMETHING EMBARRASSING OR UNEXPECTED THAT HAPPENED TO YOU WHILE ON-STAGE?: in Twelfth Night, I kept forgetting my props. My sword, my coin pouch, everything.
WHO IS THE MOST DIFFICULT PERSON (ON STAGE OR OFF) THAT YOU HAVE EVER WORKED WITH?: There's a few of them. A certain choreographer who is related to a certain musican who also runs a sawmill. A producer who set aside a lead role for himself before audition dates were even set. Stage managers who flip out over something that's already been ok'd by the director, and costume designer. And then there are all those people who absolutely CAN NOT ACT.
EVER BEEN NAKED ONSTAGE?:Nope
HAVE YOU EVER BEEN KILLED?: Yep. I think I got stabbed, but I can't remember. Also I fell off a 'building' in Power
BEEN DRUNK?: played drunk yes, been drunk onstage, no. hungover...yes.
PLAYED SOMEONE HALF YOUR AGE?: I'm the size of a premature hobbit--what do you think?
PLAYED SOMEONE TWICE YOUR AGE?: yeah, when I was like ten... it's kind of easy to do at that age.
CRIED? yep. fake tears and real ones once during Oleanna. :)
FIRED A GUN?Nope
BEEN DRENCHED?Nope
BEEN IN A DREAM SEQUENCE? in Power
BEEN KISSED ON STAGE? Sure. Twelfth Night, and Power.
