As a long time theatre fan, but never a performer since grade school, I got my chance to experience the thrill of being in a show now that I have moved into this active adult community here in central New Jersey. Although it's far from professional theatre I got a small taste of what it is like, going through rehersels, re-writes, tech week, and what not. I can now more than ever appreciate what professional actors go through, and the wonderful feeling of applause and compliments.
The show that I was in "Window to the World" was an original production created by my neighbors. It was a spoof of classic television, sort of what Forbidden Broadway does to Broadway. I got to play a number of characters, Tonto in the Lone Ranger, Hoss in Bonanza, the millionaire in Gilligans Island, one of the Mouseketeers, and others. Needless to say, lots of costume changes, cheesy props, and most of all, I had lots of fun and I just wanted to share this with all of you.
