Theatre Survey--yessssssssssssss

In honor of a certain new follower of mine, and fellow theatre freak, I give you this Theatre Survey. Yes, FINALLY a fun questionnaire relating to the great wide thing we call a STAGE. w00t. So although it will take up a lot of space, I know, here goes......
Enjoy, my pretties!

SUPERSTITION?

Having good rehearsals during Hell Week, definitely. Baaaaaaaaaaaad sign right there.


YOUR GOAL IN SHOW BUSINESS?

Do it for as long as I can and be good at it!!!!


FAVORITE DIRECTOR YOU HAVE EVER WORKED WITH?

Mrs. B., of course. And Ms. Mac. Yes.


WHAT WAS YOUR VERY FIRST SHOW?

Not counting little class plays at my school, I was the Shoesaleslady in Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day in sixth grade. :-)


HAVE YOU EVER HAD A DANCE SOLO?

Well, not really.......eh, no. Danced with small groups.

Yes! In Alexander...(NOT writing out that name again)


HAVE YOU EVER BEEN THE LAST PERSON TO TAKE A BOW?

No, but I was third-to-last in Museum (w00t)


HAVE YOU BEEN TO NEW YORK?

*tear drips down nose* Never.


HAVE YOU BEEN TO LA?

Nope


WHAT'S THE SCARIEST PART OF AN AUDITION?

Wondering if your voice will crack because you're a teenager, hearing someone really good go right before you.


WHAT'S THE BEST PART OF AN AUDITION?

If you do well!!!! And if you know the director(s), that's always made me feel better.


NAME A SHOW YOU WOULD NEVER DO AGAIN.

Dandelion. Oh hell no.


NAME A SHOW YOU COULD DO FOR YEARS.

Crazy For You, (probably) Cabaret, Alice in Wonderland


WHAT ARE YOU AUDITIONING FOR NEXT?

Whatever show comes my way! I don't know any yet...


DO YOU KEEP IN TOUCH WITH PAST CAST MEMBERS?

Why wouldn't I?!?!?


HOW IMPORTANT IS GETTING PAID?

Well, right now not terribly, because I've never gotten paid for a show before and I still love doing it. But, I imagine that if I make a career out of this then it would become increasingly more vital...

*(thanks for that one, Moi!)


SOMETHING EMBARRASSING OR UNEXPECTED THAT HAPPENED TO YOU WHILE ON-STAGE?

Well, this was for ballet (slightly off-topic, I know): my chef's hat fell off as we were bowing, and I was at the end of the line (seeing how short I was and am), so I just picked it up and carried it off on my hand like it was on a tray. :-) And various bows and such falling off my tap shoes is CFY...


WHO IS THE MOST DIFFICULT PERSON (ON STAGE OR OFF) THAT YOU HAVE EVER WORKED WITH?

MPA-goers, you know her. Thank God she's not in Cabaret, I am sorry, but......


EVER BEEN NAKED ONSTAGE?

No, but I will nearly be for this one!!! Hot stuff, baby!


HAVE YOU EVER BEEN KILLED ONSTAGE?

ALMOST--when I was that drug addict Kendra, I set myself on fire smoking a bong pipe or something, and I totally mamed myself. I had to wear this cut-up bald cap over my face to make me look deformed. Maybe sometime I'll attach that picture...heh heh. Give y'all nightmares forever.


BEEN DRUNK ONSTAGE?

Oh heck yes. Crazy For You tavern scene--AND in Sweeney Todd, during God That's Good.


PLAYED SOMEONE HALF YOUR AGE?

Hmmmmmmmmmm.......dunno the ages of some of my characters....


PLAYED SOMEONE TWICE YOUR AGE?

Loads of times. Mostly being a floozy, druggie, or ditzy dancer of some sort....


CRIED?

Nope. I wish.


FIRED A GUN?

Been right next to one being fired, twice. That's it.


BEEN DRENCHED?

HUH?!?!?!?


BEEN IN A DREAM SEQUENCE?

Erm, nooooooo...........unless you count Museum, which was pretty much the entirety of the play....or A Midsummer Night's Dream.


BEEN KISSED?

Not YET.....*blushes* Maybe sometime in the near future. Hopefully not before my true first kiss, however.

  2. well, the way you change the color of the template is from your dashboard page, go to "Layout" and then click the tab that says "Fonts and Colors" and it lets you pick different colors for the different sections of your blog.

    yay, theatre surveys!
