* My Favorite Roles- I like the straight acting better than musical theatre- I'm really self consicious about singing on my own
I love being in ensemble- Favorite Ensemble show was JOSEPH and BYE BYE BIRDIE and yes I was a boy in the JOSEPH- it was so excellent!
Theatre is so much fun!

I just started college, so most of these shows are chorus roles due to the fact that the directors played favorites and that there were HUGE amounts of talent at my very large high school.
The Man Who Came to Dinner - Maggie
Anything Goes! - reporter
Joseph and the Amazing... - chorus
Nights of Broadway (review show) - chorus
Les Miserables - Whore 1/chorus
Footloose - Bickle
Footloose (yes, I've done it twice) - teen chorus
Words and Music: 2001 Tony Awards (review show) - teen chorus
Words and Music: 2003 Tony Awards (review show) - featured soloist (sang "On My Own")
Right now I'm a stewardess in "Titanic"--it's a fun show so far, and I can't wait until we start blocking :)

"Shut up! It's been 29 years!!!" --the incomparable Patti LuPone in her MUCH DESERVED Tony acceptance speech for Gypsy.

PIRATES OF PENZANCE -- Played The Pirate King twice. Once in a traditional production, once in the Papp 1980 production. The latter is MUCH more fun!!
R & H CINDERELLA -- agreeing with the 'ugh' from above.

Ensemble stuff in 110 IN THE SHADE, did PERSONALS, a play of ANASTASIA .. I think that's about it. Nothing going on now, some people want me to play The Dentist in a local production of LITTLE SHOP in February but I'm not sure I want to do it.

Cressida (Troilus and Cressida)
Servant to Olivia/Officer (Twelfth Night)
Puck (Midsummer Nights Dream)
Golde (Fiddler on the Roof)
Katherine (Pippin)
Mother (Barefoot in the Park)
Pat (Li'l Abner)
Elma Blue (Divorce Southern Style.... and you thought Up the Down Staircase was bad....)
She (Epilogue)
The Actress (The Illusion of a Fantasy)
The Baker's Wife (Into the Woods)
Piccoloist (The Music Man)
Zaneeta (another production of The Music Man)
Emma (The Magic Flute: An Awfully Big Adventure)
Hillary (J'Accuse)
The Baroness (The Sound of Music.... yes, the quote from The Opposite of Sex was my mantra during that show)
Meg (Brigadoon)
I won't mention the role I played in The Wizard of Oz.... So many painful memories....
I should also mention that I'm hopefully going to reach a point by the end of sophomore year where I'm giving more of a bent to playwrighting (since that's when I'll start doing studio shows each semester) and dabbling in some design. I like the backstage life of an actor, but I'm a terribly lazy, undisciplined person. I'm also a terrible smoker which doesn't help me explore texts vocally.
And I love how between the bulk of us on this board, we could re-enact several shows.
And I love that our Mr. Parker played a Jodi Foster obsessive (I used to use Lynette's part of "Unworthy of Your Love" for audition songs, before I got the sheet music for "How Did I End Up Here" and "My Simple Christmas Wish")
