Being in those plays were two of my very best memories, even though rehersing act two of "Noises Off" was as dangerous as walking over a tight rope over a lake of crocodiles(I nearly killed Garry with the axe.), and even though I had a minor role in "La Mancha" Share who you were and what your experiences were.
I was Maria in "Man of La Mancha" (For those of you who don't know, Maria was the inkeeper's wife.) It was alot of fun hanging out with seniors at the time. Even though I got very little stage time, it was great watching others work the magic. It was easily the best play that my school has put on in a long time.
I was also Dotty Otley in "Noises Off". I had alot of fun with this one. I got to show another side of me, and the audience loved it. I was apparently a favorite of the principal.
Anyone else?
You insult me, I ignore you. That's how the system works around here.

Posted: 4/21/06 at 12:05pmI was the stage manager is Noises Off... It was such a fun show.... Hard... but fun... and it was a great experience. YES, it's a VERY dangerous show! And everything has to be perfectly timed. But its soooo worth all of the hard work.

Posted: 4/22/06 at 10:43pmI was in "Noises Off", but I played a Line Assistant. Basically my director's lame attempt to include more people in the show. I was pretty much an uderstudy and I had to go to practice evryr day for 2 months and do NOTHING! But I really liked the show.

Posted: 4/23/06 at 8:15pmI just did "noises off". I did costumes and was the understudy. Great show! My BF played Roger. At the last show instead of giving out flowers we gave out signed cans of sardines!

Posted: 4/24/06 at 7:22pmI played Don Quixote in "Man of La Mancha" this past October. It was an incredibly challenging role for me. I always played the nice, young, tenor boy in all of the shows I was in. So playing the old, inspirational, hopeful baritone was a bit of a stretch. It was an amaaazing experience though. The message behind it all is an absolutely amazing one, and it was a joy to be able to share it. We did it in a blackbox which made it more one-on-one with the audience which was a neat experience in itself. I loved every second of it, and would do it all over again if I could.
