Plays you have seen, been in, or helped with...oh and details!

[Captain Zechs]

Okay...I thought it would be fun to make a thread, because surely we have actors in this Tz, as we call it.

Well lets see...

I have been in

-Gone with the breeze, as Rip Page (lead)
-Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, as Mike Teavee (Lead)

I have been in another, where I got a good part but had to drop because I didn't have time, so...so far I haven't gotten a good part, but next play at my HS, "Little Shop of Horrors", the chance of me getting a good part is slim to none, cause there are 2 male parts, and seniors normally get those kind of parts. Oh well, ill live, to be in plays and only want leads is a bad attittude.

(Oh and Pictures from Charlie and the Chocolate factory, coming soon!)

So...post what plays you have been in, seen, or helped with.

I have seen:

Beauty and the Beast
Wicked
Lion king


Enjoy :)

Edit: Oh and dont forget to post details about the plays:

-Charlie has been a blast, I love highschool plays and the cast is just really good, lots of fun :)
-Wicked...eh could care less for it...
-Gone with the Breeze...kind of dumb, but fun i suppose
-Lion King and Beauty and The Beast was good, classics!

River Dance
Nutcracker

[True Noir]

I've seen many plays and musicals. The most recent one I am apart of is a light-hearted comedy called FOOLS by Neil Simon. I have never enjoyed being as crazy as I am in that play than any other. My favorite play is Wicked.

[Kurtman]

On a middle school feild trip,I got to see the play of "The Grinch Stole Christmas". I can't believe it. The guy who did the voice of Dr.Gerbil in Courage The Cowardly Dog played the Grinch! It was at Balboa Park.

[Mary_mari]

I've seen the play Don Qiujote...'twas bizarre. I loved it.

I was the lead sugar plum fairy in Return of the Nutcracker. Gah...how did that happen?? Oh yeah, I was in grade school and still cute~

I helped with a school play we did on The Bernstein Bears. I created a lot of the background scenes (so artistic am I).

Have seen:

Macbeth was bloody. M*A*S*H and Alice were lots of fun. It was also fun making sound effects for Charile, like the angry squirrels. Emma was very boring. Brothers Grimm was ok, but my costume smelled funny. 13 Past Midnight was very good.

[Mog]

I've seen The Nutcracker and small parts of Les Miserables and Phantom of the Opera. My mom worked at the KC Ballet as a seamstress so I usually hung around backstage with the performers, but I never really cared to watch. Such wasted time.

[Charlie]

I've only ever seeen The complete works of Shakespeare Abridged. Its basically every play Shakespeare ever wrote, only done in an hour an a half.

[Tenku]

Hmm, not exactly seen the play of "The Wiz", but we've performed selections from it for Spring Concert. I forgot which song it was, but everytime I heard the saxphone solo, I'd almost cry. Joe [the guy who played it] was most excellent. Wish I could find the program somewhere... :)


Soon:

For my trip up to New York in a week and a half, we're gonna see the Rockettes and then Phantom of the Opera. :anime:

Seen:

Wizard of Oz [my best friend was in it!]
A Streetcar Name Desire

I'm forgetting something...

Been in:

Timmy the Tooth in the fourth grade. I was a cracker with a twin.

Man, that was a lousy part. :shrug:

[90'sCartoonMan]

Isn't The Wiz that black remake of The Wizard Of Oz?
Yeah, it was. Well, my school advertized it as The Wiz, and it admittedly had some elements from that movie, but it was basically The Wizard of Oz.

How do they pull that off?!

[Humble]

All I've seen is Les Miserables on Broadway. My mom liked it so much she saw it 3 more times and played the soundtrack everyday for a year. :shrug:

I did a "radio play" for English 9 called Earth vs. the Toaster. It was about a mad scientist who fires a radiation ray at a toaster, causing it to grow until it's huge. It starts terrorizing the city, until the army stops it by jamming a giant fork into it. At the end, one of the characters has a speech about how man has used the toaster for years without giving anything back and generally how sad man is.

[Temple Fugate]

I helped design the sets for my school's The Wiz and State Fair. I was assigned to come up with the city of Oz backdrop, and with a few others, came up with Fritz-Lang-esque/dystopian/DBZ-futuristic designs that turned out rather spooky. Even painting it lime green didn't help. I also helped mold the giant head that the Wizard speaks through, and eventually steps out of. (No "man-behind-the-curtain" for us!) The play was a huge hit, and it was a lot of fun to work on.

The State Fair play, surprisingly enough, was even better. Though I didn't help as much with that. I designed a couple of the game booths.

A friend of mine played a bit character in The Wiz who botched an evil plan and was hanged off-stage by the Wicked Witch's head monkey. When he went out with everyone else for the ovation, he had the noose around his neck.

Well if ENglish literature Class in High School counts as such wel then I can safely say that I have actually had two roles.. one of them in a shakespeare play, the other is based off oa movie by the eame name.

In my sophomore year in High school my English Lit Class did the version os SHakespeares Julius Ceasar where I did a Convincing Role as Marc Antony as he gave his Ceasar Lines..(and I also did the part of the Old oracle who warrns Ceasar to Bewarew the Ides of March..

But in My Junior Year English Lit Class in High Scholl, I actually got the Part in a Play Called 12 Angry Men (Yes there is a Black and White Movie which had some famous actors including Jack Klugman and Henry Fonda and I got to do Fonda's Role (Juror #3) Believe me Playing a Juror who takes the part of being a convincing underdog to convice a Jury to take a murder trial from Guilty to Innocent takes a lot of Energy, and that in the part of Being the One who starts the Not Guilty road and then using every little bit of acting to make it see real does make you tired.

but other then that? No real Palys or even shows..(But I do know my sister has been in Plays and has helped in Plays Like Lil' Abner, and Brigadoon (and yes that too was in High School)

so that's the story there..

:coyote:

[Squisheee]

Let's see, I have seen:
Little Women(cute and fuzzy feeling!)
Mama Mia(hilarious!)

I have been in:
Macbeth(Some guy named Fleance where I had one line)
Nutcracker(a little chef/baker girl)

Little Women was awesome, a true classic! Mama Mia was the one I saw about a week or two ago, and it was amazing! More audience involvement than Little Women, especially near the end when they re-sang "Mama Mia". I love that song. Anyways, Macbeth was okay, except I got a really weird part,(didn't they have more women in the 16th century? Or whichever one it was?). But it was pretty cool because backstage I got to be the drummer and bell ringer for everything. The Nutcracker was tons of fun! I love the little outfits, and we got to carry huge lollipops all around the stage. It was so awesome!
