Gwendolyn of the Eastern Seas, a Retired Cookie-Selling Guru
in April 23rd, 2006 @ 10:34I’m in Macbeth. I’m the third witch. Double, double toil and trouble everyone.
Scale of dragon, tooth of wolf,
Witch’s mummy, maw and gulf
Of th’ ravined salt-sea shark,
Root of hemlock, digged I’ th’ dark,
Add thereto a tiger’s chaudron,
For the ingredience of our cauldron.*does my freaky witch laugh*
Fair is foul, and foul is fair, we don’t think Mimi has actual hair. Anon, anon!

Taiwan Hippo Fan
in April 23rd, 2006 @ 11:22Why thank you.
I was going to say that I am doing a sonnet in a storm scene that is supposed to represent ‘The Great Tempest’. It’s really fun!For our school play, My friends and I wrote this really fun, funny, and stupid/cheesy thing about these kids that found themselves magically transported to Antarctica. It was fust part of the whole play,(which was about the continents)but it was really fun!
As a fun fact, I’ll tell you that I was voted for the ‘lead role’s in both of the little plays I was in.

in April 23rd, 2006 @ 11:27Cool plays, guys. I really wish I could take drama or theatre productions next year but I couldn’t fit it into my schedual. Plays are cool though. I’ve only ever been in my summer camps plays. Those are fun. Last year I was Antigone in Antigone.

in April 23rd, 2006 @ 11:55i think musicals are more difficult to perform than regular plays.
last summer i was in a studio play called the insanity of mary girard . yeah, it was incredibly insane. so insane that we were only supposed to admit ppl age 13 + older, but some lady brought her youngish son to see it (i dont know why they let him in), and he started crying, which made me feel kinda bad…
the play is about a young woman (mary) who commits adultery; her husband finds this out, and orders her to be locked up in an asylum. then 6 evil spirits (“furies” – i was one of them!) begin to haunt her, and she literally does go insane. yeah. creepy. oh, but it was fun. we (furies) had to rat up our hair+ until it stood up like 5 inches off our heads, + then we had to put on a ton of white face stuff + eyeliner
if you google the name of the play, youll find a ton of pics of the characters. none are from our production, but theyre interesting to look at

in April 23rd, 2006 @ 15:05I haven’t been in a play for Two Years! (Sob.)
The last play I was in was A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and I was Lysander because there wasn’t any boys for the part. It was fun, even though it was about two days before the spirit gum came off completely. ( I was wearing a beard.)

Gwendolyn of the Eastern Seas
in April 23rd, 2006 @ 18:32You know, in retrospect, that really wasn’t a lot to memorize. I just never had that big a part before, and I’ve been involved, like, ten playsand scenes this year. I go to an artsy school for drama, but before this my drama teacher seems to have thought that I was only good at playing quirky, funky supporting characters, like a Japanese snow monkey foreign exchange student (Christmas play) or an eville angry Greek goddess (history of the theatre play. playing Hera is fun!).

Eccentric the Afterthought
in April 23rd, 2006 @ 19:36Hey, that’s awesome, Penguin and Skipper! I’ve never been on TV or in movies or anything. Some of my friends got to be extras for the filming of the movie Elizabethtown though. They saw Orlando Bloom so they were really excited, lol. Unfortunately my school is so small there isn’t a drama program, so I’ve never gotten the chance to be in any productions. I ♥ the Pirates of Penzance! The songs are great fun to memorize and sing at random people.

yesterday's_kinked_moose
in April 23rd, 2006 @ 20:01My friend and I have written a bunch of weird plays together, but we’ve never done any of them. Another friend did a really well written play of the little mermaid, but we never did that one either. I think I was either some screaming guy or the sea witch. By the way, it was modified quite a bit from the original version, which sucked. It had sort of a Christian spin on it, which I won’t go too much into except to say that she added a *ahem* fisherman. We wrote an odd LOTR spoof about Gimli baby-sitting the Gamgee’s children for a talent show, but its fate was similar to our earlier works. That’s a pity, because it’s actually pretty funny. I think.

The AHHH!
in April 23rd, 2006 @ 23:05OMG! I haven’t been on the blog for a loooooooong time! Whoa. Check out all the new peeps and the new threads….
Anyhow, back on subject:
I just did a GATE project having to do with putting on Hamlet (a fifteen-minute version) by Shakespeare for the whole class to see… Urk…
But we scraped by pretty well…. I was the director *applause*, so the whole thing was really crazy and energetic. Especially since no one could really read the Xyroxed copies…. I played Ophelia, your damsel-in-distress (my suicide-scene was soooo awesome)…
Yeah….

Also, Bobs Your Uncle, why do you have to correct everything ” the pink stalking penguin of penzance who is way cooler than youll EVER be ” says? Why don’t you let her just say what she wants and leave her alone?

in April 25th, 2006 @ 18:53I would really like someone to make a broadway version of the fabulous movie, ‘Hotel Rwanda.’
That was one of the best movies I’ve ever seen.
It would make a very impactful show.
Also very scary.
I wonder where you could find enough extras to play a 100 dead bodies?
Watch the movie to see what I mean.
Anyone else think it would make a good big kid/adult show?

Fortune Cell
in May 7th, 2006 @ 19:36I’m a big musical/theatre/acting fan. While typing this, I’m listening to Vol. 8 of Forbidden Broadway: SVU. My school has a acting program that is a bit… lacking. Next year, though, I’m going to a different school which is representing the USA in Ireland. So I’ll be doing a lot more theatre. acbeth is delicious, I love almost all of Shakespeare’s work. In response to 54, the book Wicked is amazing, as well of the musical. It focuses on politics and religion to draw depth to a shallow musical (WoO). Does anybody here like Rent? It is my /favorite/ musical. It is for a more “mature” audience, but if you can, see it.

You comment is awaiting moderation.
our 7th grade play this yr was lord of the ringlets: kicking the hahbit (yes spelled like that)
i was a dwarf.
unfortunatly, i am “shy” so mrs enright gave me a one line part. the line was “are we there yet” so it was ok i guess.
but even so. i wouldve enjoyed the part of slallum/gollum whatever.id be in the skool “choir” which is more like a drama department, but its run by nasty ol’ mrs anderson. who favors her daughter over everybody. and also she’s the drone on and on about irrelavant things type, which i cant stand. so band must substitute for acting. *sigh*
Aida rocks. the brodway musical, i mean. havent seen the opera version.
loooooooove the music. ive seen it twice – once w/ the origional cast and then again this year. excelent both times. although i can barely remember the first time… i was like six or something. about all i recall is going into the theater, and the one scary song… *shudders* my strongest suite…. very scary. and everbody else just aaaaadores it so wen we listen to it in the car we always have to listen to it…. *groan*

in June 24th, 2006 @ 23:32Plays! Theatre! Hurrah!
…Hem. I, I am ever so proud to say, was in an opera. At the Lyric in Chicago. Yes, a real opera. It was the SVEETEST to see everything from backstage. I was only six, and I was in one scene with no lines as Daisy’s daughter from The Great Gatsby, operafied version. I even got a curly wig and a dorky little dressy thing to wear. I imagine I looked like something out of Hairspray.
On broadway musicals: AVENUE Q! I am dying to see that! Curse it, I missed Spamalot, which I also wanted too see, even if it was in Chicago. And I’m relatively excited about Wicked.
On Vaguely Theatre Related Literature: Try a book called ‘The Black Canary’ by Jane Louise Curry. Had me entranced from beginning to end. Most charmingly written. Had me wishing I was Elizabethan so I could run away and join the Queen’s choir.

in June 25th, 2006 @ 09:37I love the theatre, I’m just disappointed I don’t get to go and see it more often. Tickets are expensive and you usually have to be an adult to buy them beforehand, so going to see plays by myself is problematic.
IF I had the time/money/age to go to the theatre, I’d loooove to see everything that the Shakespeare Theatre in my city does. Back in grade-school we went to see one every year, but my highschool doesn’t do field-trips at all, esp. not to go see plays. A non-Shakespearean company did Pericles, a few months ago and I really, really wanted to see that one, but couldn’t.
I’m with you on the AVENUE Q, Phoebe! (for anyone who doesn’t know, it’s basically an R-rated Seseame Street, done with puppets that’s on Broadway right now) Songs include The Internet is for Porn, If You Were Gay, It Sucks to be Me, Schadenfreude! and There’s a Fine, Fine Line. I think it’s going to Las Vegas straight away, though.

in June 25th, 2006 @ 12:46I’ve seen a few Shakespeares- I actually got to see to in the theatre at Stratford. I saw Hamlet and Twelfth Night. They were both excellent. Hamlet had no set, no costumes and only like 2 props (a gun and a glass of poison), which made even better, because it was all about the acting. 12th Night had a bit more props, costumes, set, but not much. It was hilarious, too.
I also saw King Lear and Much Ado about Nothing in Ashland, Oregon. Much Ado was hysterical, but King Lear was a bit more stiff.

in June 25th, 2006 @ 14:05I’ve seen Romeo and Juliet SEVERAL times, A Comedy of Errors, A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Othello, though Othello was on a Television.
I’m really envious. 12th Night is one of my favorites.
Shakespeare’s so much fun, I wish I could go see it more often, but even student tickets are $30+.

in June 25th, 2006 @ 14:16Yay for Avenue Q. I took a musical theatre class, and one of the adults taking it had seen Avenue Q. She was sitting behind a party of six year olds who eventually started asking their mothers what ‘porn’ was. Not surprisingly, they left about a scene afterwards. Incidentally, that class rocked. I was the only kid, and I got to be June from Gypsy. There’s a movie, but don’t see it. It’s pretty insufferable, and it’s not even that good a musical.
There’s a version of ‘The Tempest’ playing in the grassy area of a park by my neighbourhood today. I’m gonna go see it! They did Midsummer Night’s Dream last year, which was great. One of the men was to be reckognized by ‘the Roman garment he wore,’ but apparently there’s, like, an indie rock band called ‘The Romans’, and so they all had t-shirts from that band. Sveetness!

in June 26th, 2006 @ 21:49What about me? I like lurking! It beeth shiny.
When I go up to Canada, I’m going to see a lot of ol’ Billy’s plays. In the town I’m going to, which shall probably be censored anyway, they’re having an annual Shakespeare festival. It should be a lot of fun. I wish I got to act more, but there really aren’t a lot of options ofor me, since my parents will force me to be in the pit rather than onstage. (That’s orchestra pit, not cherry pit. Although that would be mighty cool…)

in June 26th, 2006 @ 22:20Ah, you’re parents are the musical types. Compromise! Musical Theatre is fun.
So many un-heartless people. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

(1) In the interest of accuracy (one of the things, along with life, the universe, and pie throwing, that Muse is all about), I must note that there’s no such word as “beeth”–not as a form of the verb “to be,” at an rate. There isn’t now, and there wasn’t in Shakespeare’s time. I am; thou art; he, she, or it is; we are; you are; they are. Nobody ever beeth. I don’t care what they say in “Chasing the Sunset.”
(2) GAPAs don’t zap the names of towns you visit. We just don’t want you posting the one you live in, unless it’s big enough for you to fade into the crowd.

in June 27th, 2006 @ 13:18Has anyone see the Lion King brodway thingy whatzit? It is so amazingly cool. the costumes are completely amazing. It’s the most wonderful show I have ever seen. I haven’t really seen any big shows though because I live in Wyoming and it’s not exactly the broadway capital of the world. Don’t get me wrong, we do still get some pretty cool shows.
Each year there’s a childrens broadway jr. production. the cast is entirely kids. It’s not just a elementary music concert. We have cool costumes, sets, and everything like that. Anywhay… I’ve been in Fiddler on the roof and Godspell

in June 28th, 2006 @ 20:11About two years ago, I attented an art workshop, where kids were helping to create props and costumes for a children’s play.
It was a small scale, little kid-ish type of play, but I had a lot of fun.
I got to go back stage, behind the curtain, and be up on stage as well.
It’s a great feeling.
I’ve started designing my own show.
I’ll tell you about it.

in June 30th, 2006 @ 22:12Billy sneaks a LOT of dirty jokes into his plays. If you really want to know, you will be able to learn by asking an English teacher. In those first two sentences I sneaked in a word that our buddy Billy uses in a dirty way.
On another hand, I’m going to be in Little Shop of Horrors this fall and I’m going to see Wicked soon and I just saw Brklyn and yup!
