I love to sing and act. I
have been in every school show since first grade, plus some camp shows.
Although I had two repeats, almost all of the shows I’ve ever been in take
place in somewhere different, whether in this world or out of it. In first
grade, I was a munchkin (one of the only ones with a line) in The Wizard of Oz,
and I spent all of my time in Munchkinland. Second grade brought Joseph and
the Technicolor Dreamcoat, as the chorus again, but the setting featured
both Jerusalem and Egypt. In third grade, we traveled to Austria in The
Sound of Music, where I had my first big role as Brigitta 3, and I sang the
song, “My Favorite Things,” (which you can read about in one of Frosty’s posts
from a past year) with my “siblings.” Next year was Peter Pan, and I was
delighted to be playing Wendy in the scene where she, Peter, Michael, and John
all have various solos (yay) in the song “Flying.” As that character in that
part of the show, I was only in the setting of the Darlings’ house in London,
and the clouds and stars in the sky on the way to Neverland. Fifth grade
arrived and along with it came Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I played Mrs. Gloop, first in Germany, and
then again once inside the chocolate factory in England.
STAY TUNED FOR PART 2…
