Casting Notes. Mostly female cast Includes early teen, late teen, adult, young adult characters. Lead Characters. What did I do? How is it the same or different from what I planned to do? For my final high school production, I decided to go back to my roots and act. Mainly, this was because I thought it would be fun to start the Hillsboro Players acting and end the Hillsboro Players acting.
Also, I just really despised Stage Managing and really felt that I needed to be a part of the creative process again. Both characters were similar in the fact that I got to yell at everyone and boss them around. This is not unlike real life, so both of my characters came naturally to me. I was also able to put into practice the acting methods and character building exercises that I have learned in IB theatre.
However, I had never acted in a musical before so there was the struggle of singing and dancing, then combining the two. What were the learning outcomes for me, the team that I was working with, and others? I had never been in a musical before so when I was in Hairspray, there were new challenges presented to me that had not been there before in vanilla straight plays. I had to learn how to sing, not just in my shower, and I had to learn how to dance, not just in my bedroom.
Both of these experiences challenged me mentally and physically and tested my stamina, because I'm a big kid. Vocal range bottom: D4.
