Normal
Hello all who care,
Welcome to my blog :).
I realize I have about five entries, but it is mainly because I am so unbelievably busy that I never have time to keep you amused with all the mishaps of my life.
This was an OCU show I was in during second semester of last year. It was called “Normal” a musical directed by one of my best friends, Robert Postotnik, an extremely talented young man with the ability/potentional to change the world using his artistic vision and fantastic flare for design.
I have to say that it was a blessing being a part of that cast and playing a role that would challenge me and break me. Robert insisted the show be portrayed as real as possible. He challenged me to become a real person on stage, instead of… well, pretending to be a real person on stage, which was what I am most comfortable with. The show itself carries an important message about eating disorders and its devastating effects on the average American family.
”A musical of hope and survival”.
I played the mother!! :D
Anyways, great experience. :) I miss my OCU family. And they are all going places, fast.
Another show I was able to participate in at OCU last year was “Bat Boy”. I’m not going to write too much about “Bat Boy”. I couldn’t explain the feelings and the experience of my first real college musical to people who don’t study theatre or have never been cast in a show. All I can tell you, is that I was proud of myself and proud of every single cast and crew member. I don’t know how well the show did, or if i portrayed my part well enough, I don’t know. And I don’t care. It doesn’t matter. I’ve never felt so connected to people at OCU, never learned as much as I had, and never been so unbelievably terrified.
I feel sincerely ill today so I apologize for writing like a fourth grader. My headache is massive and my stomach is in a lot of pain.
