… in the Ensemble…
Hi
Megan! 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.I am a transfer student from Grossmont College. While I was there I played Snoopy in You're a Good Man Charlie Brown, Cinderella in Cinderella: a New Pop Musical, Hyacinth in Scapin, Rachel in To Jillian on her 37th Birthday, and Constance in The Three Musketeers. This is my second semester here and my first SDSU show. As far as showcases I've only been involved in the Musical Theater performance class taught by Stephen Brotebeck and Rob Meffe.
So,
what originally made you choose to participate in musical theatre?
I always enjoyed singing and dancing. I used to be
in competition cheerleading, so the thrill of being on stage was something that
I lived for. Also, I attended a small high school, so the opportunities for
being involved were much greater. I took a leap and auditioned for my first
musical during freshman year of high school and I have been hooked ever since!
What
is one thing that you love about Drowsy?
The design elements are my favorite. I love what
they did with the set, costumes, and lighting. The colors are so vibrant and
the costumes have so much pizzazz! There is something about the glamour of the
1920s that just oozes excitement.
What
are some unique challenges of your role?
Having to create a backstory for myself even though
I have no lines. It is important to have an opinion of what my character
(ensemble) thinks and feels about the chaos around them even when they are just
quietly observing.
What
is one thing that audience members should know before coming to see the show?
Be prepared to laugh till your stomach hurts!
