Is straight play an oxymoron?

Nothing precious, plain to see, don't make a fuss over me. Not loud, not soft, but somewhere inbetween. Say sorry, just let it be the word you mean.

I played Carla in Between Daylight and Boonville at my theatre camp and I would love to do it on stage. Maggie in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof would also be amazing as would Kate in Brighton Beach Memoirs.

* Eugene in Look Homeward, Angel (played once, but i was 15--I'd like another go-round)

* Hally in 'Master Harold'...and the boys (played once, recently, but I could play Hally forever.)

* Jerry in The Zoo Story

* Hal in Proof

* Phaeton, &c. in Metamorposes

* Oedipus in Oedipus Rex

* Romeo or Mercutio in Romeo & Juliet (I'm not quite villianous-looking to play Tybalt, but he'd be fun, too)

* Tom in The Glass Menagerie

Lord, that's enough for now, right?

I was the lead in a Durang parody of Glass Menagerie, I don't know if it could get any better! (MAYBE The Nurse in Romea & Juliet)
