As mentioned earlier, I got a part in the Popcorn Plays V. As also mentioned earlier, it's an ensemble cast, with multiple roles both on and offstage for each person.
Today was the first read-through, and now I know my roles and have my scripts. The scoop:
- Directing What It's Like. A man and woman discuss gender roles, then exchange outfits (and mannerisms) and discuss again.
- Stage Managing On Second Thought, or, Love in the 21st Century. Hard to explain. Instead, I give you the cast list:
- Carol, and Waitress
- Nate, and Man, and Member of Carol's Orgy and Dance Troupe
- Katie, and Member of Carol's Orgy and Dance Troupe
- God, and Member of Carol's Orgy and Dance Troupe
- Playing the part of Z in The Weed Dreams. My costars are X and Y. It's a mix of THX 1138, Spartacus, and a smidgen of Will & Grace.
- Playing the part of Battila The Hunter (or Scott) in The Key to the Mystic Halls of Time. I'm an online role-playing game afficionado who cares more about the game, and my Internet-connected co-warriors, than I do about my wife.
- Playing the part of The Prince in Lewd Loves of a Lusty Laundress. Unimportant is the plot (fairly tale style rescuing of a damsel, lalalala). Important is the fact that I spend my entire time on stage with no shirt on, and most of it swordfighting a pirate. Fun! Also scary. I am dieting from now until the show. Possibly also starting a smoking or heroin habit, depending on which will make me thin and dashing the fastest. Input on this choice?
- Playing the part of Harry in Something Went Wrong. By far my favourite play of them all, and not just because I have a big and FUNNY part. But those are true. The play centres around a lovers' quarrel precipitated by a clown I've killed and brought home. The script is so fucking funny! I can't wait. If it gets taped maybe I can digitize for distant fans to watch.
