Are you an actor? If so what was your favourite production to take part in?

Question

I'm young, so I haven't done a lot. But I do theatre. My favourite plays I've been in so far were Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead and Duck Soup.

Answer 1

My favourite play, as a male actor of 47, is my role as Macbeth in the independent production of Macbeth.

Answer 2

My favorite productions are more about who else was in it than about the show itself. Certainly a good script is a great start, but when I'm spending months rehearsing a production, it's the people that really matter.

I just completed (from the director's chair) an all-female Much Ado About Nothing, and it rocked on toast. Sure, it's Shakespeare's best comedy, but the real win was the way the cast bonded with each other. They loved working together, and can't wait for me to put together a reprise show.

They even held a slumber parties, to which I wasn't invited because, well, I'm not a girl. But that cast loved each other ferociously, and that made not only for a great rehearsal process but it also shows up in the chemistry on stage. The audience can feel it when the actors are enjoying it.

Answer 3

My favourite EVER would be the one I'm in the rehearsal process for right now.
It's called "Big Love". It's be Charles Mee, and its based off the suppliants. I play a wife, which means the physical work I'm called to do during this show is crazy. I'm required to jump up and fall into the splits numerous tmes while being beat over the head by my husbands fists, drag a 100 pound suitcase in a cirrcle dance, Kill and be killed, dance, run, flip and other sorts of wonderful things. I love physical theatre, and am so happy that I get to be a part of this production... and I cannot wait for it to go up.

My favourite role in one that has already came and went would be Flora in Jerome Kerns musical, Leave it to Jane. It was a horridly written musical, but my part was so much fun!

And that, my fellow thespians, is that.

Answer 4

I've done a lot of shows. I usually enjoy ensemble work, that is no real "lead character" but rather a group of people who all contribute to the overall story.

Thus far my favorites have been
Angel in When You Coming Back Red Ryder
Von Helsing in Dracula by Mac Welman
Ellen VanOss in Two Rooms by Lee Blessing

Would still love to be
Martha in the Childrens Hour
Frankie in Frankie and Johnny at the Claire de Lune
Mama Rose in Gyspy
Mame in Auntie Mame

Answer 5

I've been in numerous productions in my 15 years of theatre. But the last show I was in was by far the best expierence ever. I went out with a bang! It was Laughter on the 23rd Floor, I played Kenny. My entire cast was just so funny, we had some of the best cast parties I've ever attended. We all got a long so well. It was like a mini family for two months. I'm glad that I was cast in the show, because it was just the best expierence .

Answer 6

Oh I say all the ones I've been in were fun. I especially liked Web of Murder, because I was the murderer. I enjoyed Honk Jr!, Beauty and the Beast (I was a spoon and that was a very fun part) :). Then I'm currently in the play Comedy of Errors and having a blast. I get to be one of the dukes girls and hang on his arm for an entire scene.

Answer 7

I've been acting in musical theatre for 16 years. The best show that I've been in is "Titanic: The Musical." It's an AMAZING show. We had the best of everything with that show. Great show, great cast, great audience. It was awesome!

Answer 8

I did Mid Summers Night Dream And I was lysander that had to be my favorite because i loved the language how everything was so akward

Answer 9

Yes, my favorite production has to be The Vagina Monologues!

Answer 10

"Blithe Spirit" and "The Invisible Dragon"
