Theatre: Group Repertory Theatre
Director: Stan Mazin
Character: Madison (Leading)
Now, this was a fun production. Imagine Betty Davis (played by Stephen Foster - yes a man and also the playwright), Judy Garland, and Joan Crawford all in the same room together. Bitchy!! I played Betty's boy toy but played each woman off against the other in order to suit my own agenda.
Stan was a phenomenal director. It was a real pleasure to watch him work and find and stage all the comedic moments.
It was incredibly tough being on stage with such broad outrageous characters. I got slammed by our first review and ended up completely re-working my character. I developed a much stronger character than originally written and people seemed to really respond to the subtleties of the character (amongst the broad strokes so to speak). Self preservation at work! |
