Did someone say “ACTING?” I’m here. Hi. *waves* *grins*
I LOVE ACTING SO MUCH! It’s the best thing since writing. 😉
I’m currently in “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever” (have you read the book? It’s amazing!), and it’s been so much fun! I do community theater. 🙂 Some of my favorite plays I’ve been in are Anne of Green Gables, A Christmas Carol, A Little Princess, and The True Story of the Three Little Pigs.@gretald, I know the story line of ‘The Best Christmas Pageant Ever’, but I haven’t read it. 🙂

@corissa-maiden-of-praise Yes we did the Modern Major General song. Oscar did a great job with that. Thank thee for thy compliment, my lady. 😉 Fredrick was the only one who was 5 & 1/2 yrs. We tried to keep our voices deeper, but it really didn’t matter too much, as long as we didn’t sing like a soprano. 🙂 Some of the notes were a bit too deep for me though and I just rumbled. 😀 😛 But it was lots of fun.
@gretald You’ve been in Anne of Green Gables???? *turns green with envy* Who did you play? 🙂@gretald, I agree with @corissa-maiden-of-praise, your director has fabulous taste! 🙂

@bluejay Wow, that sounds interesting. And it’s amazing what theatrical makeup can do. You look just like a pirate. 🙂
@Bluejay
Well…actually…I was very blessed to play Anne. 🙂
@corissa-maiden-of-praise
My director is amazing (if I do say so myself 🙂 )! I love the plays she picks…well, most of the time. 😉
@clairec
Yup, she’s pretty amazing! 😀
@bluejay @corissa-maiden-of-praise @clairc
What plays have you all done? I saw the picture from the pirate play that you were in @bluejay, and it looks like it was a ton of fun. 😀@gretald When I was about 7 I was in a Thanksgiving play… I had one line. I still remember it. “Are you sure? Mistress Cook said the Indians would cut off our scalps!” 🙂
Beyond that, I’ve been in no plays that reached completion. I’ve attempted to get a couple started, but they always fell by the wayside since there wasn’t enough interest. But this time… this time I think we’ll make it. The cast is smaller and they all seem excited about it. 🙂
But even though I haven’t been in many plays, I’ve been acting pretty much my whole life. When I was really little, my mom was trying to put me down for a nap by pretending to be asleep, and she said the next thing she knew I was kneeling over her saying the lines Belle said when the Beast died. 😀
I also love dramatically reading “The Lady of Shalott.” It’s great fun. 😀

@gretald, I haven’t been in much, just small homeschooling recitals, etc. I’m more of a singer than an actress, but I enjoy acting, so I think it’s really just that I’ve never had the opportunity to do much. I recently did a term of Musical Theatre classes. So, acting, singing and dancing. I really enjoyed that. We had an audition in the last week. 🙂 I’ve been in a very short one-scene play from Pygmalion. And I’m playing a wise man on one day of our upcoming VBS, and Mary Magdalene on another. 🙂
@corissa-maiden-of-praise, that’s such a funny story! 🙂Official Member of the Certified Club of Aussie Kapeefers
Musical theatre. is. the. best! I’ve been watching some documentaries on how professional companies put together plays. It’s completely fascinating, and it really helps me to know what the audition process would be like if I ever go to an audition (which I really hope will happen).
Some of the best musical theatre songs are from Annie (though they get stuck in your head like crazy). There is a really professional song here from Annie.
The kids are so professional, especially Annie and July, one of the orphans.
