Acting Out

     Dr. N wants us to write an independent blog post, so that we feel like our blogs are more of our own. I think this is a great idea because then these blogs won't seem like they are solely for English homework! 
     I'll be talking about what I wrote my college essay about: theater. 
     I love acting, as many people know, and I'm currently in a musical called Guys and Dolls.

Here's a picture of the poster

The songs always get stuck in my head at the most random times; they're all so catchy! It's basically about gambling in New York in the 50's. I play a tough mobster from Chicago; his name is Big Jule. Yes, you read that right; I'm playing a man, again! This is my second time being a man in a Marshall show. We have seven rehearsals left till opening night. I can't wait until it all comes together. We're nowhere near ready for an audience. We'll get there hopefully by the end of this week. November 14th, at 7pm is our first show!
     Marshall Drama has been going through some changes, but I'm hoping that my last year as an actor for Marshall will be a good one, as all of the others have been! 
     Also, I haven't done a show at the Duluth Playhouse for about 4 years, but I got the awesome opportunity to be in Hairspray! I'm one of the Dynamites; her name is Judine. I received an email from the director with my script attached to it,

Here's a screenshot of my script

and I can't wait to start. I love the important message of this show. It's about equality and it takes place in the 60's.  It goes up in March, and rehearsals don't start till January! I have to my lines memorized by the first practice! I'm apprehensive because these kids that do Playhouse stuff are from all over the area and they're all super talented! I'm looking forward to learning a lot.
