Perhaps folks would like to divulge info on high school plays they might have played a part in? What plays? What characters?
Or are you part of an amatuer theatre group? Please tell.
Our school mainly did musicals, and I could not and cannot sing. But one year they decided as well as the musical they would do a seperate play. It was "Romeo & Juliet". I auditioned for the part of Tybalt but didn't get the role on the grounds of me being quite short at the time and therefore not the least bit threatening. They still offered me a role though as Mercutio. Being him was almost as fun as Tybalt and I had a great time in rehersal. Our performence went down a storm which was wonderful for me as it was the first time I had ever done stage acting (I was in the Drama Club but they did short films not plays). In about a third performence I decided it would be amusing to appear in each seen with a larger hat than the previous with the death scene featuring a hat 1m in diameter! Since High School I have not been in any drama whatsoever on account of free time being consumed by other activities. If I had the time I would definately do it again! I'd like to do "The Birthday Party" by Harold Pinter, "The Wasp Factory" by Ian Banks, "Forrest Gump" by Winston Groom or a Monty Python adaptation.
