What's Seussical really about?
The wonderfulness and the geniusness that is Dr. Seuss!
And of course finding yourself through the mess that is life, but that's irrelevant...
Who are you in the play? What did you learn from your character?
I play a few parts. I'm a fish puppeteer, a jungle creature. I learned how to dance like a fish.
Learned anything from the play?
Well, I've known the show for a few years now, so if I did learn anything from the show, I've forgotten what it is specifically.
What's the audience saying?
So far the people who've seen/heard the early stages of the show think it's funny, and that we're an amazing cast.
Did you put much of yourself into the character?
I put as much of myself into being a fish as I can.
How was the rehearsing process?
uhhhhg. soooo boring. I mean, at first it's fine, then we're told to go home and rehearse, and I'm like, the only person who does, so we pretty much repeat the same rehearsal over and over again.
As the lyrics say... Is anything possible?
Apparently, not. I mean, if 8th graders can't figure out how to remember whether they are "a one, or a two" then clearly not.....
