Why did I get involved with On Stage Theatre?
In 2007, after watching Evil Dead the Musical six times. I wanted to get involved with a local theatre company in Barrie. I was surfing around the web and I stumbled across the On Stage Performance Group's page. I thought about it over a little while and I decided to call the number and leave a message. When I got a phone call back, I got my first auditon. After completing this audition, I got an invite to the first script read through and I was given the part as a Footman.
Cinderella, Dec, 2007
This was my first full production I was in with a community theatre. In this play, I had two parts. In the first act, I was a horse of the Fairy Godmother pulling the Royal Coach that Cindrella to the Royal Ball. In Act 2, I was Prince Charming's Footmen. I got to dance the night away at the Royal Ball and than I found out that Cinderlla lost her slipper.
Aladdin, Dec, 2008
In December, 2008, I got a part as an executioner and a Mummy in the Great Pyramid of Egypt. As the Executioner, I only had a few lines to say. During the Executon, Abanazer casts a spell halting Aladdin's execution.
As the Mummy of the Great Pyramid, I layed down on the stage.
Music, Music, Music, March, 2010
In 2010, I got offered a part as Al Shendberg. Al was the assistant director for the Wizard of OZ. I came into the filming studio and Victor was mad because Judy Garland was not on set on time. I had to tell Victor that Judy was in her dressing room with her mother. Judy was upset becase the head of the studio told her that she was "Too Fat!" When Judy enters the studio, Judy asks for a glass of water and Victor sends me off to get her a drink. After she finishes her drink, I called everyone to be quiet and Judy sings her famous song
Over the Rainbow.
Christmas Cafe', Dec, 2010
This is the fourth production I was involved in. I had two parts in this show. My first part was Officer John. I went to the cafe to grab a midnight donut. When I got in the door, I discovered Clara and Fritz running around causing a big racket. I decided to take them to the station and call their parents. When I called their parents, they were very upset because Clara and Fritz left the house in the middle of the night.
My second part was Christmas Yet to Come (Future). I followed Christmas Past and Present into the wrong century and scared a family of three. The father said that they were living in a Gold Mine and decied to call the Paranormal Investigators. Tiny Tim was a football player who dropped out of practice. His coach stormed into the cafe angry because he broke his contract. Christmas Past gets up and sends everyone back to the right century.
Conclusion
I really like being involved with On Stage Theatre because they are a great group to perform with. The auditions are not competitve and anyone who auditions will get a part according to their ability. I Look Forward to being involved with upcoming productions that
On Stage theatre has.
