I went to a high school of the performing Arts, and we usually did 4 shows a year, not counting the dance and music concerts, which I was also in. So, here it is:
Freshman year:
Quilters (Various male roles)
My Fair Lady (Lord Boxington & Ensemble)
Sophomore Year:
Into the Woods (Male understudy, and when Cinderella's Father did not show up for the first performance, i was told, at the last minute, to get into costume, thus the part became mine)
Dreamgirls (was cast as Dave, but had to drop out due to getting a job.)
Junior Year:
The Odd Couple - Female version (Jesus)
The Me Nobody Knows (Carlos)
Carnival (Roustabout #1)
Senior Year:
The Rainmaker (Noah Curry)
The Importance of Being Earnest (Algernon)
The Rite of Spring (Le Sacre du Printemps by Igor Stravinsky - a modern ballet)
Big River (Tom Sawyer)
"Do you know what pledge time is, Andrew"? said the PBS Executive.
"Yes", Lloyd Webber replied. "My 50th birthday special must be one program that gets done a lot."
"No", mused the man from PBS heedlessy. "Not so much. Our Stephen Sondheim Carnegie Hall concert. That's a big one."
Spoons, forks and knives seemed suddenly to suspend their motion in horror, all around the table.

Musicals were the best thing about high school.
My very first show was
94, Grease - as random chorus boy.
then...
96, The Sentimental Bloke - An australian musical, based on a CJ Dennis Book. My first Speaking/Singing (oh god!) role.
98, Fiddler on The Roof - played Tevye.
99, Little Shop of Horrors - as Seymour.
Thanks for the flashback guys!

I did stage crew in high school!
Freshman Year - Guys and Dolls (didn't participate)
Sophomore Year - Fame (we got to dress up in 80s clothes for when we had to go onstage, and we got fired at the end by our excessively anal director. Our crew has never had such a great time.)
Junior Year - West Side Story
Senior Year - Joseph...
We made some amazing sets. Since I left, they've done Footloose (the worst production I've ever seen my high school do) and this year is Oklahoma!.

I wasn't really involved in theater until my junior year when we did "Guys & Dolls" where I was a extra/Runyonite. I helped with costumes and had a lot of fun with that.
Senior year we did "Sound of Music" and I was a nun. I was costume mistress and between the 20 nazi armbands the way-too-many-to-count whimples for the nuns, I don't really like this show anymore. It doesn't help that our cast wasn't the greatest -- the best talent had graduated the year before.
I do wish I had gotten involved sooner -- especially behind the scenes with the costuming.

I remember, my first year of High School. I was organised to audition for Annie after school, but I was so scared. I stood outside the audition room for half an hour, saying 'Im gonna do it, im gonna do it'. So much time had past, I missed the bus AND my audition time. I walked home for about 2hrs.
