Just decided to create a theatre themed tumblr TAG (is that what it’s called idk?) to brighten up my account a bit! You are welcomed to take these questions, make your own posts, repost this, I will be so happy to read everyone’s answers!!! (Also tried to make questions for both techs, directors and actors so everyone can do it)
1. When did you start doing theatre?
I started theatre when I was 10. Actually, my mom made me go to a rehearsal (I really didn’t want to because I thought it’ll be bad), I spend three hours in a rehearsal and loved theatre ever since❤️
2. Favourite role in theatre?
I did many aspects of theatre (acting, directing, tech), but my favourite is still acting. Even though I would be happy to be literally anyone in theatre :)
3. How many shows you’ve taken part in?
It’s hard to calculate, but I’m thinking about 25, both plays and musicals.
Heather Chandler from ‘Heathers’, Bonnie from ‘Bonnie and Clyde’, Antigone from ‘Antigone’ and Emma from ‘People, Places, Things’. Also would love to play JD from ‘Heathers’ and Lumiere from ‘Beauty and the Beast’. But they are male roles :(
5. Your favourite acting role?
Has to be Queen Margaret from ‘Henry VI’ by William Shakespeare.
6. Favourite tech role/thing done?
Okay, so I had to make a jukebox for the musical ‘All Shook Up!’ and i had to paint it and attach LEDs inside and a speaker AND I DID IT AND IT WAS SO NICE AND PRETTY OMG I LOVED IT
7. Favourite musical you’ve done?
‘All Shook Up!’ Yeah I’m that 50s bitch.
8. Favourite theatre play?
It has to be ‘Heathers’ for the musical and ‘Woman in black’ for the play. Loved both. So good.
9. Musical/play character you relate the most to?
Michael from ‘Be more chill’ and Veronica from ‘Heathers’. Yep, I’m lonely, have like 1 friend and cry a lot when people betray me.
10. Musical/play you are dreaming to see?
‘Hadestown’ for the musical (listen to the soundtrack it’s AMAZING). ‘Harry Potter and the cursed child’ for the play because I really want to SEE it, I’ve heard the visual part is awesome.
11. Favourite (?) theatre fail?
So, there are two of THE BIGGEST theatre fails. One, I never talk about. Second happened when I was in backstage crew for ‘All Shook Up!’ and I had to move a massive piece of set. I accidentally moved it too close to the end of the stage, so actors had almost no space to dance :( I was slightly moving it backwards from the wings ( it was close to the curtains) but it was still so bad. Still feeling bad for that one.
12. The hardest theatre thing you had to do?
I had to preform with a 38.8 degrees temperature and a fever in a 2 hour show, because I was a principle. I hardly made it home. I was only 14.
13. Favourite musical theatre song?
Gestemane from ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’ (I cry every time I hear it), Generations from ‘Children of Eden’, Candy Store from ‘Heathers’, Heartbreak Hotel from ‘All Shook Up and The World Will Remember Us from ‘Bonnie and Clyde’. That’s a lot. I know.
