LAST SHOW ADDED TO YOUR RESUME:
"Jekyll and Hyde: The Musical." Finally have a musical on my resume, even though I only played chorus.

LAST SHOW YOU AUDITIONED FOR:
"Jekyll and Hyde: The Musical." Woo!

DID YOU GET IT:
Uh... yes.

LAST SONG YOU USED AT AN AUDITION:
All That Jazz and As If We Never Said Goodbye. Showing off my low register is fun!

FAVORITE MUSICAL(s):
Depends on what I've seen most recently.

FAVORITE PLAY(s):
Ibid.

FAVORITE ROLE YOU'VE PLAYED, AND FROM WHAT SHOW?
Mad Mary Teach. Everything clicked for that character.

FAVORITE ROLE OVERALL THAT I WOULD LOVE TO PLAY:
Beatrice in Much Ado About Nothing
Rosalind in As You Like It

SUPERSTITION:
Do NOT say the M word!

YOUR GOAL IN SHOW BUSINESS:
To be remembered.

FAVORITE DIRECTOR(s) YOU HAVE EVER WORKED WITH:
Oh gosh... Tom Plott, Mike McLay, Chris Rosser, Matt Moore, Anjie Schwartz, Steph Davidson... the list goes on.

WHAT WAS YOUR VERY FIRST SHOW?:
"The Jolly Christmas Postman." I played Mama Bear.

HAVE YOU EVER HAD A DANCE SOLO?:
Nope. But I have choreographed a couple of dances.

HAVE YOU EVER HAD A SINGING SOLO?
A couple of lines in Jekyll and Hyde, and I've led a few pub sings.

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN THE LAST PERSON TO TAKE A BOW?
Nope.

HAVE YOU BEEN TO NEW YORK?
I was supposed to go, but SOMEBODY went and crashed a plane into a building or two.

HAVE YOU BEEN TO LA?:
No. No real desire to go, either. I'm a theatre girl, not movies.

WHAT'S THE SCARIEST PART OF AN AUDITION?:
I agree with Adri: "The awkward silence as they read your resume and just before they ask you to begin...."

WHAT'S THE BEST PART OF AN AUDITION?:
Nailing it exactly the way I wanted to.

NAME A SHOW YOU WOULD NEVER DO AGAIN:
Louis le Grenouille. I don't speak French.

NAME A SHOW YOU COULD DO FOR YEARS:
That depends on the cast an the direction. I could have done my high school version of R&J forever, but the one week of it I did at Mac was quite enough, thanks.

WHAT ARE YOU AUDITIONING FOR NEXT?
Nothing lined up right now. Until I get something sorted out that I'm living in the general vicinity of the rehearsals, I just can't afford the transportation.

DO YOU KEEP IN TOUCH WITH PAST CAST MEMBERS?:
Most of my friends I met through shows.

ON A SCALE OF 1-10, HOW IMPORTANT IS GETTING PAID?:
Depends on the show and what has been promised. You tell me I'm working for nothing? Fine. You just don't pay me? Screw you.

SOMETHING EMBARRASSING OR UNEXPECTED THAT HAPPENED TO YOU WHILE ON-STAGE?:
The Big Mac with Hamilton Urban Theatre. I had a short fight scene. Thrown against some stairs, watch my children die, say a line, run at one of the murderers, try and hit him, arm is grabbed and twisted behind my back, neck is creepily kissed, shot in the stomach, collapse to ground

Sounds good? Throw in a mike pack falling off, breaking my necklace and scattering pearls and batteries across the stage. Add in a creepy witch who was in the wrong spot so I had to leap over her to hit my mark (there were other witches around, it was the only way to get there). Bad news all around.

WHO IS THE MOST DIFFICULT PERSON (ON STAGE OR OFF) THAT YOU HAVE EVER WORKED WITH?:
Yeah, like I'm going to shoot myself in the foot when I may or may not have to work with said person again.

EVER BEEN NAKED ONSTAGE?:
I've been in lingerie, and I've had my butt fully in view because measuring is for wimps.

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN KILLED?:
Only as Lady MacDuff. I lean more towards comedies.

BEEN DRUNK?:
Never played drunk, definitely never been drunk on stage.

PLAYED SOMEONE HALF YOUR AGE?:
Characters who act half my age, yes. Hellooooooo Lettie!

PLAYED SOMEONE TWICE YOUR AGE?:
Niobe from Love of the Nightengale was three times my age. I got very good at age makeup by the time that show ended.

CRIED?
Yup, in Measure for Measure. Which in turn made my Mom cry. Whoops.

FIRED A GUN?
Nope.

BEEN DRENCHED?
Only when it's rained at a Faire.

BEEN IN A DREAM SEQUENCE?
Does Midsummer's Night Dream count?

BEEN KISSED?:
Yup. And because at the time I had never had an ACTUAL kiss, I needed lessons. Go me.
