I did a couple plays and liked it a lot. The problem was, the theater programs I've been involved with were horribly cliquish. Although with all the work involved, it naturally does make you get close to people, so it makes sense. I really wanted to do some Shakespeare villains. I'd like to play Iago, Edmund from King Lear or the thane of Ross from Macbeth. All those guys are so cool on stage. I almost did get a dream part of mine when I was offered a chance to do a production of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? , but I would have had to direct the play too and directing on stage is a fool's errand if ever there was one. Mephistopheles would also be a ton of fun.
