… in the role of the Drowsy Chaperone…
Hi Courtney!
Thanks for taking the time out of your busy schedule to talk with us.
Tell us about past SDSU productions you’ve been involved in or any other San
Diego-area projects that we might know you from.
As a MFA Musical Theatre
candidate, I performed the Witch in Into
the Woods, Pippi in The Great
American Trailer Park Musical and Eponine in Les Mis - concert.
So, what
originally made you choose to participate in musical theatre?
I enjoyed the sense of community I received from my new friends in drama
club. I always enjoyed singing, acting, and dancing and felt comfortable doing
so with others that enjoyed it as much as me.
What is one
thing that you love about Drowsy?
It's so funny. There's a joke on every page and the characters are so
loveable.
What are some
unique challenges of your role?
The most challenging part is playing an actress playing the Drowsy
Chaperone. Beatrice Stockwell, the actress playing Drowsy's name, was a force
to be reckoned with. She was a true diva. It's finding moments within the show
within the show to let glimmers of Beatrice out.
What is one
thing that audience members should know before coming to see the show?
It's a show for everybody! You don't have to know musical theatre to love and laugh at this show.
