Let's Learn More About this Theatre Stuff
I'm Glenn Lorandeau and I've never tried this blogging stuff before but in my first blog I'm gonna talk about my experience in the summer theatre program. I was in this program last year and I enjoyed it immensely. This year I think the show will go well and I think a show with as much energy as Mulan will be well received by our audience. Of course we'll need a cast with just as much energy, which leads us to the auditions. The auditions are the second most exciting part of an entire show, in my opinion. The suspense of finding out who got what roles is the most exciting part. I was not so nervous about the auditions because I knew everyone in the room and I felt confident that I would do my best and that our director would like it. Perhaps not as much as another person's audition but I wouldn't let something as small as nerves hold me back. I've been on stage many times and I love it and no matter what role a person has they have the ability to make that role their own and steal the show. So to all my fellow classmates I give this advice: There is no such thing as small roles, just small actors. Make it big, and it's your show. I think this experience will be a good experience for me. I'll get to play the bad guy for once and I'll hopefully get a lot of singing practice. I'm sure my class is just as excited as me to get this show on the road!

My god, you dug deep. And, not to be rude or anything, but I must point out that you didn't know me and I just so happened to be in the room, too. Well, I like your opinion of theatre/auditions. Very well said.
ReplyDeleteI love what you said about no small roles, just small actors. so true. . . . my bets are on you stealing the show :)
ReplyDeleteI think your right about what you said about the actors being small not the roll they play.
