Laramie Again. Who I's be in it.

Tue Jan 6, 2009, 6:55 PM
  • Mood: Satisfied
  • Listening to: Proffesor Layton and the Curious Village music...
  • Reading: NOTHING. GIVE ME SUGGESTIONS PLZ
  • Playing: Same as listening to. DAMN YOU, FRILLS!
  • Drinking: Vernors. Love Michigan <3
Alrighty then, :icontonks-92:, :iconanimefreak1002:, and :iconipeelurbanana: have all requested at some point or another for me to update them on who I've been cast as in the show.

ALL I KNOW AS OF NOW:

1. Rebecca Hilliker: She's probably one of the biggest roles I'm going to be playing, and I'm SOO happy! For my audition, we had to pick 3 monologues. I picked hers out first, and LOVED it, so i'm SUPER happy I got the part! Rebecca Hilliker is the head of the drama department at the high school in Laramie.

2. Allison Mears: Somewhat of a comic relief, Allison is a social worker in the town who works alongside another woman named Marge. (still no idea who that is yet). They bounce silly and serious banter off of eachother for a while, so it'll be a nice change from all the serious stuff. :D

3. Annoymous: Ok, yeah. This person doesn't have a name, but DOES have a very important association. The only annoymous person in the entire play, this role is someone who was a friend of Aaron Mckinney, one of the boys who murdered Matthew Shepard. The role has a good sized monologue, but only appears once in the play to give their opinion.

Sooo....ya, that's all I know for me. For people who know me in real life, and know some of the awesome other people in the show, Tim Tom is Dennis Shepard, Matt's father, AND Reverand Phelps, a real man who still, to this day, makes protests whenever the play is showed and tells homosexuals they're all going to hell, basically. Chelsey is Reggie Fluty, the police officer who first came to the scene of the crime, Luke is Jonas Slonaker and the govenor of the town, Alex is a baptist priest and the cyclist who discovered Matt, and other people are obviously other things, but i totally can't remember cause ITS SO MUCH TO TAKE IN IN ONE NIGHT.

So ya. My life rests in McNutt's hands now. And I'll live the next 3 months in the theatre starting tommorow.

Could this day get any better?

OH WAIT. I CAN GO TO SLEEP.

And also? Just over 7000 page views? WHAT? When the hell did that HAPPEN!? I haven't even posted anything but photos in MONTHS!

And now....!

*collapes on desk in a dead sleep*

Well...

...I made it into The Laramie Project.

How'd this happen, you ask?

Not a clue.

12 people got cast. TWELVE. And I've never ever ever been in a play before, but I made it where some really, REALLY great actors didn't. Like, WHUT? :faint:

It's so bizarre, cause like, every single person on the cast list, (besides myself), are all these actors and people whom I've looked up to since freshmen year, and who are like, GODS of the stage. And now, instead of me like, drooling and adoring from afar, I'm gonna be THERE? ON STAGE? BESIDE THEM? LIKE....NOW?!?!?

WOT?!?!?!

*again :faint:*

GEEZ, I need to update more...

Wow. Halloween was my last update. It's a week from Christmas tomorrow. Hee, funny thought that, innet? Just a week till christmas! OOO, and that means a week till the new Doctor Who too! WEE!

Ha, my birthday passed too. I got to see Wicked in Chicago, (and go backstage and onstage. Be jealous), a calligraphy set, Wall-E, (my new favorite movie EVER), Hello Kitty footie pajamas, jingle bell earrings, an epic Winnie the Pooh puzzle I'm STILL working on, and tickets to see Sarah Brightman in concert. Oh, the 2nd season of Doctor Who with Rose, a big poster of the hottest Doctor EVER, (AKA, David Tennant in Who garb), AND! The Coup de Grace!

I got my own Sonic Screwdriver pen. And it writes in invisible ink you can only see with the tweety blue light on it. Aww yeah. It's kick-ass.

Also, we've got our final two play auditions of the year going on right now. Just concluded today, actually. Few hours ago. The straight show is
"The Laramie Project", a true story that had the world ablaze when in 1992, a young college student by the name of Matthew Shepard was brutally tortured and beaten to death in the town of Laramie, Wyoming, and why? Just because he was gay. It's about hate crimes and the levels of which people can sink to, and how compassionate the human race can truly be.

The musical?

UGH.

It's Smokey Joe's Cafe. A REVIEW! It means it has no plot, it's just a bunch of songs strung together with no dialogue, only pulled together by a common theme. It's terrible. I mean, NOTHING could compete with Jekyl and Hyde, that was a once in a lifetime awesome. But really? A review? You couldn't have even TRIED?! It's like, the biggest cop-out in the history of our theatre program.

But I auditioned for both, naturally. I think I only might have made chorus line for Smokey Joes, cause I didn't make callbacks.

But Laramie? *insert incredibily happy grin here* I made it all the way through to the final callbacks! YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! It's only my second ever audition for ANYTHING, and I think I did really really well! Even if I don't get cast, (cause hell, she's only casting 10 people, and there was 20 people at final callbacks, and she said there'd be more girls than boys, but STILL), I'd be REALLY hella happy just to get where I did, man. I mean, I was in a room with like, every single most amazing actor we have at our pool of three schools, some I've barely talked to, some I'm best friends with. But I had to make them NOT friends, thats what I don't like. It was one big "LOOK AT ME" competition, and if you lose, no one will be ABLE to look at you. Cause you'll be in all black behind stage. Again. But just getting that far? It was one hell of an amazing experiance. AND the cast list doesn't go up until after school friday so the drama teachers can run for their lives before break so as not be haressed. Damn them for being so clever...

ANYways, end update! :D

Halloween and Crucible

Sun Nov 2, 2008, 11:52 AM
  • Mood: Rant
  • Listening to: Without You from RENT
  • Watching: the little ranting smiley
  • Playing: glower quitely to myself
[link]

First off, LOOK AT THIS LINK. Did I make it? No. Is it for OUR school version of the Crucible? Well...no. BUT! It is THE best representation of the plot I have EVER seen, and I am just...SOO in love with it!

*ahem* now, onward!

Halloween was super fun. Like, really REALLY fun. I went as....wait for it...wait for it...CINDERELLA! *tosses confetti sporatically around the room* I really only took one picture, so I guess I'll be putting that one up...^^; Sometime or another.

This Saturday was also Tech Saturday for us, which, in theatre terms, basically means spend ALLLL day at the theatre. From 10 am till 12 pm. Yeah. But thankfully, I got to leave early because we got all the costume stuff out of the way early on.

Well, at least, kinda of earlier...

See, I've got a bit of a problem I need some opinions on. My position is "Assistant Costume Crew Head", right? So that means the actual costume crew head is technically above me.

I say "technically".

This girl, (lets call her Mars), is a sophomore, first of all, and is the biggest flake I have ever had the misfortune to meet in my existance. The Crucible has been going since when? Earlier September? And how many times has she shown up to rehearsal?

Twice. And only this past week, I might add.

The way our school works is, is that if you want to become a thespian, (which just means be part of the actors national honor program), you need 10 points. 1 point = 10 hours, and different crew positions automatically give you points. Personally?

I hope she doesn't get one goddamn point.

She hasn't earned ANY of it! And I mean, any of it. The first time she was ever at a rehearsal for more than 2 consecutive hours was just yesterday, and even then, we both got to leave early. AND SHE LEFT BEFORE I DID BY 3 HOURS. Because she decided at the last minute that, "Oh! I know you asked me to type up the costume inventory and everything but...i've got a lot of homework...do you think you could do it?" *insert annoying heh heh heh here*

And what do I go and do? I do it, of course. Thus the 3 extra hours. And why did I? Because I knewshe wouldn't do it even if I said no, and we'd all be epically screwed if it didn't get done. Not to mention that yesterday was the first time we've ever actually worked with the costumes, and our one and only monumentally enourmous job was after the actors were done getting fitted and trying everything on and back in regular clothes, we had to make sure, going through our manual check list, (which i wrote by myself), that every single piece was there. There are 30 actors.

I did about 28.

Basically what I'm asking is, what would any of you do in this situation? I want to do SOMETHING to make sure I'm getting the help I need and the respect I'd greatly like to get for all the hours I've put into this show already, (which, by the way, is about 55 compared to her 8)

Soo....any advice?

Dear :iconipeelurbanana:

I don't really know how to tell you this, but our horoscope doesn't match. I think I realized it when your dog ran amuck at the mental hospital and I saw you castrate my best friend. I'm sure you're man enough to understand that Santa doesn't exist. I'm returning your false teeth to you, but I'll keep your left ear as a memory. You should also know that I will never forget your eggplant-fetishim .

Good luck on your short-term leave from jail,

Lol, ok, now that that stupidity is over with, let me explain. :icongeekischic: put this in her journal, and it CRACKED ME UP! So i decided to try it myself. The above is my result. If you want to do it too, (cause I won't tag anyone :P) here's the link and instructions on how to do so:-->[link]

Other than that, all I have to say is MY LIFE IS BEING EATEN BY THE CRUCIBLE AND SCHOOL WORK BLARGH!

I have soo many unfinished things to do! I PROMISE, that AS SOON as I have time to do all that stuff, (ATK spectator entry, character profiles of original peeps, etc.) I WILL!

And that is all. :heart:
