Ever been in a play?

[kupocake]

Not to be confused with the long overdue 'just how gay are you?' thread.

I've done a musical every February for 6 years in a row (go on, pretend to be surprised)... except this year, because I didn't want it messing up my second attempt at my final degree year... I kind of miss it too. I even managed to stay upright at the last after-party.

Any other drama-fags on hl2.net? There's got to be someone.

Oh, and in before the first person to claim they were in a porn movie, because that doesn't count, even if the acting is generally of the same quality as musical theatre.

 

[kineaesth]

I've done school plays but they were all shit.

What's more fun is Sheila Winn, a national Shakespeare competition.

My personal favourite was doing Titus Andronicus as Lucius, in particular the scene with Lucius and Aaron.

[edit] - I'm very very gay.

 

[Raziaar]

Once... in a text game. I had a leading role.

Oh man I feel so terrible.

 

[Sheepo]

I played Mercutio because he is the only cool character in the history of plays.

 

[Musk]

Have been involved in School Performing Art's nights for 3 years. I did a family drama play at a theater last year and possibly again this year. I've been involved in drama classes for 4-5 years which always had an end of year performance. And also just little roles in primary school where he reinacted certain areas of history.
I love drama.

 

[Darkside55]

I played Mercutio because he is the only cool character in the history of plays.

You misspelled Tybalt.

If you ever protest when I call you a nerd again, I'm going to smack you.

 

[Tyguy]

Oliver Twist in middle school...I was Noah Claypole

 

[Jintor]

Chorus boy!

 

[Bad^Hat]

A couple of times in primary school, yeah. I played the lost boy who always wets himself in Peter Pan.

Also I got picked for the lead role when we did a stage production of Maori mythology. I played Maui, the figure of legend who fished up the entire country (literally) and tamed the sun with a ****ing jawbone. I was also the whitest, skinniest kid in class and had to do the whole thing shirtless. The best part was one of my friends in class, who played the tree I had to cut down to carve into a waka (canoe), yet he was the most over-acted part in the play. He did a ****ing somersault off the stage when I chopped him down.

 

[Sheepo]

You misspelled Tybalt.

Tybalt was just an idiot with some stupid nickname.

 

[nipples]

I played Mercutio because he is the only cool character in the history of plays.

This.

 

[Qonfused]

My senior year in high school I played a kinda small role in Grease. It was an awesome experience.

 

[Sheepo]

Oh yeah, I played Tiresias because my teacher forced me into it. Pretty much the coolest blind, transsexual prophet ever.

 

[Darkside55]

Tybalt was just an idiot with some stupid nickname.

Yeah? Well you're dead.

 

[Sheepo]

Bring it bitch.

 

[Darkside55]

(We have no Romeo)

 

[Sheepo]

Where art that mother****er?

 

[Sulkdodds]

In school I played God.
In a production of Noah's Ark.
I wore a flat cap and played him as an out-of-touch grandad.

 

[15357]

Years ago, I played a god damned tree, because of my height in relation to my classmates.

And when that tree was chopped down by the lead, I emitted a cry that kinda sounded like a marine's death in Starcraft.




That was my only line.

 

[Seppo]

I played Joseph of Nazareth in a christmas play when I was 9.

 

[Mellish]

Once in Primary School. We did a scottish rendition of jack and the beanstalk. All of the script was in old stereotypical scottish.

 

[Eejit]

My grammar school has a tradition of a big drama festival with each class doing a play every year with the oldest students acting as directors/script writers.
My roles have included: Zombie #2, Scottish Soldier #1/English Soldier #4 (different scenes in our Braveheart adaptation), and The Professor (Lion, Witch, Wardrobe) at the ages of 12, 13 and 14 respectively.

Braveheart was the best play evar. We shoulda all become professional stuntmen with fight scenes like that!

 

[Raziaar]

If you ever protest when I call you a nerd again, I'm going to smack you.

Doesn't make me a nerd in the present day. I'm long away from that game.

 

[Sulkdodds]

Stfu, RP is awesome.

 

[Reginald]

I have played Duncan in a musical prequel to Macbeth, Scrooge in a modern musical adaptation of A Christmas Carol and a ghost called Reginald of all things in some crappy gothic horror thing that attempted to be like Edgar Allen Poe but was more like Scooby Doo.

I was also a shepherd, a frankincense-carrying wise man, Joseph and a narrator in 4 separate productions of the nativity story. :x

 

[Eejit]

Heh that reminds me. When I was about 4 we did a nativity play in my preschool. I was the innkeeper. Even though it was meant to be silent - just narrated - I came out with the line "There's no room in the inn, but you can sleep in the lift ['elevator']".

 

[Kula Meenur]

Oh yeah, I played Tiresias because my teacher forced me into it. Pretty much the coolest blind, transsexual prophet ever.

What he said.

 

[Evo]

I played a Roman solider in a play in primary school..didn't do anything really

 

[Tyguy]

Years ago, I played a god damned tree

Was the audition hard?

 

[Iron Kat]

In year 5 in primary school I was in the summer production of Othello (or Three Murders, A Suicide And A Near-miss as our production was called) but I didn't act; I was a dancer. The following year I played a salesperson in our production of Oliver Twist (or Oliver Twisted). The high point of that was I got an unintended laugh. I had auditioned for the role of Nancy but there was no way I would have got that.

.

I played the part of the beaten up traveller in the story the Good Samaritan in grade 2 catholic school play. I spent most of the time on the floor, which was kinda cool cuz I got to look up the dress of my grade 2 teacher ms vitae ..man she was hot

 

[Qhartb]

Yep. Most recently Craig Lucas's Reckless.

 

[Polaris]

Ten years ago I played some random Jewish kid in the movie that nobody knows...

 

[15357]

Was the audition hard?

Lol no.



One day the teacher looked at me, and possibly thought 'Man, that kid looks like a goddamn tree. Lets use it for the play!'

 

[Escaep]

I've been:

One of the three musketeers
One of three men in a tub
An announcer person, I actually had quite a big role.

 

[Dog--]

I usually set up/work all the equipment for the plays, like lights/sound equipment etc.

I'm ****ing awesome.

 

[kupocake]

Err... Hove. I'm doing some set moving next week, simply because backstage people get such a raw deal and I owe them one from previous years (I directed the musical we put on last year, and you really come to appreciate how the divas couldn't give two shits how techies give up their time to make them look good). Yeah, I'm not a professional (Just Secondary / College / University musicals) and I've never thought I could build a career from it...

 

[lefty]

I was in the band for a musical once, I was just recently almost in a play and for the last couple years or so I would help out in whatever drama program was nearest me, making set pieces or posters or whatever.

 

[Sedako]

I did it all in high school.. band, chorus, plays, musicals. Made all-county chorus 3 years and all-county jazz chorus once. I was one of the starring roles on the Titanic musical my senior year (unrelated to the movie). Now that I've finished college, I may start doing community theater. I didn't make it into a career because I have very shaky nerves when in front of a large audience.
