Our Town
 

I really wasnt sure what folder this would fit in....none really, so I put it here.

My high school i doing "Our Town" this year. I auditioned....and got (pretty much) the lead. George Gibbs....star of the play....itz about his/my life


I havnt read through my whole script yet (Just got it today) but it seems pretty good.

Has anybody here seen any productions of this, or the movie version(s)??

First read through tomorrow!!

I saw the movie a few years ago...I just remember the ending being kind of gimmicky.

How so?

Sorry Antichrist, but I never even herd of it until now. But congratulations on geting the part.;)

Way to go vamp!Are we gunna have another Bruce Cambell on our hands in a few years?;) :)

Well, maybe not a new Bruce......he's one of a kind....

























































But ya'll better watch out for Andrew [Insert my Real Last Name here]


I dont like giving out my full name.....but as soon as I get my big break.....Ill let ya'll know!!

Ive bee acting for....4 years, 7 shows (2 of which laster multiple nights, and were at my town's major theatre), Principle role in 6 (Including the 2 at the major theatre)....

I'll be famous someday.....just you wait!!!
:p :D :) :p

I LOVE THAT PLAY!!!!!!!!

My favorite play ever!...Own the old movie too!

Whenever I am feeling out of touch with reality........I watch this movie and it totally grounds me on what is really important in our lives and how small we are all in the scheme of things. It got me though major panic attacs at one time.

Ask me anything you want on this one............

I don't want to spoil it if you're reading it now. Soo......



















The whole dream sequence was kind of cheap, I thought. Unless I'm thinking of another movie. Which is possible. Other than that, I liked it.

I finished my script (Old news, just forgot to post)

The whole last act is definatly gimmicky, MichealMyers...Ug......Im not looking forward to breaking down on her grave, either, lol......Why cant it be a comedy? Im better at those....

I really dont think Im gonna do very well in this role.......

I wanna do well, but at the same time....I dont. Beacuse if I do really good, I could get typecast for the rest of High-School, which would really suck....

Oh well.....Ill just do my best, and hope all goes well

Less than a week away, and my outlook on the play has changed entirly!

I have all my lines memorised [Finally], blocking is down, show is damn near finished, ready to go any time.....:D :D :D

I love my character, Ive totally changed my mind from the last post. I know Im gonna do great, I really have this role down. And itz a real change from anything else Ive ever done. Im so psyched!!!

Hell Ya!

good luck

High school only lasts a minute, so fuck being "typecast", let your heart guide you to your passions(i know that sounds corny, but do it!!!!)

As I said in my last post, my opinions have totally xhanged. I could care less about being typecast...Im enjoying this role alot more than I thought I would!

Take the lead role and run with it!..........

In fact, in hounor of my upcoming performance....I have temprarily changed my avatar.:D

I wish I could come and see you!! that's just to cool!! I bet you will be great!! Congrats!! ;)

this thing a musical?

Nah

I can kinda sing, but not very well. This is just a normal, albiet kinda boring, stage acting play.

I always wanted to be in theater when i was a kid....the attention always held me back tho....

"Put on the look, put on the thing, try to make it REAL..."

Congratulations on your leading role. Show 'em how you do it.

Are you George Gibbs?

Yup:cool:

Awesome part, and alot different than anything Ive ever done before. Awesome experience.

Re: Our Town
 

I read that play in english 3 last year, and am reading it again in english 3 this year, we just got through the 1st act today....

and you got goerge gibbs eh? If i remember correctly your love intreast is Emily Webb

I was IN this hsow about 3 years ago. I was Constable Warren. Its kind of a boring show that can be good in the right hands. (now no offense as I dont knw you and your acting abililities) but I have never seen a High School do this show well. Its mainly becuase it is such an unfunny show and there is so little sets to deal with. But hell. Run with it. I love acting. I just got off one of the leads in the show the nerd!.


"Aya, thats the way it goes. Back in 84 we had a ball player Sy, name of Hank Todd. Even 'Ol George Gibbs coiuldnt touch him. Moved up to main to become a Parson"

I know what you mean....it is pretty boring. But I like the fact that we have almost no sets/props. Itz really fun.

Thats really cool that you were in this!

Yay! We have ou longest rehersal yet tomorrow. Even though it isnt really very long [6 hours]. Ive had rehersals for other plays that have gone from like 9am-9pm, sometimes longer. But tomorrow should be fun

JESUS SAINT SUZET!!!! a 12 hour rehearsal! Ive NEVER hd one last tht long! So how are the ins goig. I know having a lead ca be a VERY stressful ordeal. The lst show I did (about 2 months ago), The Nerd, We had a lead quit the show 1 week before opening night. I had the smallest part (actually written for a 10 year old, a d Im 25) and I got upgraded to the part. I was off book after 3 rehersals! But let me tell you, I have never been scared of doig ashow,but opening night Iwas shitting my pants to be sure, btit turned out great and I think Isurprised pepl with one of my first leads ( Ive had Joseph in Joseph and the amazing Technicolor Dream Coat and Mr. Mushnik in Liottle shop f horrors in HS) I hope your show goes great! Break a leg!
