Okay guys, this is THE LAST TIME i change my subject for this blogging assignment- i swear. I've decided to blog about something i really love, which is theater. Lets go back to kindergarden- picture 5-year-old Addie with a turtle neck and leggings. My first grade teacher, Mrs. Tony, was asking all the kids what part they wanted to play in our Christmas pageant. She came up to me and asked if i wanted to be the queen, or the star Christmas tree. THE TREE. DUH. So i was the sparkling christmas tree.. I don't even think i said anything... i just stood there all tree-like. So that's pretty much where it all started.
Ok, so now I'm in middle school. Ms. Jackson's performance class. We had this assignment where we got a certain job or task to act out to a song of classical music of choice. I got ironing. I show up to class and NOBODY has their classical music. I was the one looking like a goober trying to figure out what smelled like it was burning to Beethoven's fourth.... (it was the shirt I was ironing.)
Now, in high school, I've had crazy fun times doing Les Mis, Annie, Kill me deadly, and am currently working on the 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, and Thoroughly Modern Millie. (come see it!) In Putnam, I play an ambitious 11-year-old who has a lisp and two gay dads. It is without a doubt the funniest show i have seen/ been involved in. There's also a lot of audience participation, so with the right people... BOUND to be hilarious.
I guess people see theater people as really quirkey and weird, but we are.
I didn't know you were involved in theatre, but I do plan on going to the Spelling Bee show:)
