thehefner1.) It's offical: I am going to be playing the role of Gayev in THE CHERRY ORCHARD. The director, Professor Maloney (TM to us cool kids), is considered utterly brilliant by most students, and I, who have never taken an actual acting class with him, have only had conflict with the man. The good news is that his vision of the play, a play I normally rather hate, understand, actually sounds interesting. The bad news is, I read the play, and his interpretation is in direct contradition with the actual script!!! What's it say when he spends a half hour singing the praises of Chekhov and then goes ahead and rewrites the ending (well, not really, but he sees it as having a happy ending... yeah, you heard me, a happy ending for THE CHERRY ORCHARD).
Regardless, this play has an all-star WAC cast of brilliant actors. Matty B, Rachel Loose, Siobhan, Liam Daley (Maurice, Helen, Anne, and Freddie from GOOD), Andrew Yanek and Sarah Curnoles (from Blue Surge and Cuckoo's Nest), and my own VIGIL co-star Michelle Disney, who'll be eight months pregnant by that point.
THE CHERRY ORCHARD goes up the 18th and 19th of January to those that are interested.
2.) In similar news, I just auditioned for MACBETH. Because I'm tired as hell, I didn't put my entire heart into it. Or maybe it's because, as much as I still want that role, I'm sooohoohoo tiiiihiiierrred... but if I do get in, that goes up two weeks after CHERRY ORCHARD. So we'll see.
3.) Those of you who are itchin' like hell to see the Frank Miller's SIN CITY movie need to check this out: It's an abso-fuckin-lutely gorgeous fan film based on Miller's short SIN CITY yarn, "Rats." If the actual movie's anything like that, I'll be so damn happy. It certainly doesn't hurt that it boasts one of the best casts ever. I might do a LJ post on the movies with the best casts ever, just because I think of things like that.
4.) There's a rumor going around of Farscape's Ben Browder being courted to star in a GREEN LANTERN movie. Man, don't ya just HATE those rumors that are absolutely too good to be true? Of course it's impossible, I've heard word none about this film being in development. But even still, a man can dream. Besides, the ideal Hal Jordan- Bruce Campbell- is already too old.
5.) GARGOYLES is coming out on DVD! FUCK YEAH! For those who don't remember, Gargoyles was the only show to have Jonathan Frakes play a Lex Luthor rip-off, Marina Sirtis as the villainess Demona, Brent Spiner as Puck, John Rhys-Davies as Macbeth, and David Keith as a total badass. Oh wait, he always is (well, except in REQUIEM FOR A DREAM, there he was just creepy)!
6.) Paris Hilton and movies like SON OF THE MASK are, I think, what Ra's al Ghul would see as validation for why humanity needs to be wiped off the face of the Earth and started over.

They're all one weekend shows, with usually no more than a month and a half (at the very most, five weeks is the typical space here) of rehearsal from start to finish. Five nights a week usually. A hell of a lot of work, I agree, but I'm required to do Cherry Orchard, and I *want* to do Mac, so I'm kinda screwed.

Date: 2004-12-07 10:16 pm (UTC)for what it's worth...i love the cherry orchard and depending on my schedule (I know I have a commitment the 19th) and a ride I'd love to try and make it.
If not, maybe I'll hold out for MacB. Sorry to hear your won't be doing it with the Rudes. I always assumed you were...shows what an ass I am...tee hee.
