My Debut

Well, it's finally over! Speech, speech. I want to thank everyone for coming. It really meant a lot to see my people in the reception line. Special thanks goes to my Mom who came to all three performances and made royal fun of me when I fell on stage! Special thanks goes to the Piper for helping us break set. Special thanks also goes to Lindsay who took pictures out in the audience.

Sarah was the emcee, and she sang too. She sang "Somewhere over the Rainbow" in her Judy Garland voice every night before Act II. I'd get so carried away in her song that I'd forget to be nervous.
In this scene, Dez is supposed to say, "Got that, Poppy?" And I'm supposed to say, "Um...well". One night, he kind of got lost in his part and asked me three different times, "Got that, Poppy?" What was I supposed to do, say "Um...well" three times? I finally just said, 'Noooo." which actually made the audience laugh. Sometimes, I acted confused like Poppy, but most of the time I really was confused - no, acting required!

Lots of chasing people around with the ax.

Act II was a free-for-all. I told the guys before hand that I really had a strong desire to tackle someone. Dez volunteered.

This part with Travis and Gina was always one of my favorites - made me laugh every time! Travis had a role like mine where he was stage help. And he had to go on for one of the other actors in Act III. He was supposed to have a British accent, but he came up with his own German/something accent. He would say, "Just a meenuuut."
