As you will recall if you read my blog (when I very occasionally update it..), I was cast as Kitty in Sherman Community Player's The Drowsy Chaperone back in April. Kitty is the blonde ditz in the show. (For all you who were wondering -- yes, this role DOES require acting..).
The Drowsy Chaperone is a comedy. It is narrated by 'The Man In The Chair' who is listening to a record of a 1928 Broadway Show. The story is about Janet Van Der Graff who is getting married and leaving the stage. The Producer, Feldzig, is being hunted by Gangsters. Kitty (my part) wants to be the next big star, but the producer is much more concerned with keeping Janet, his current star, and thereby staying alve. At the end, Janet decides to leave the stage and Kitty gets her chance. There are other characters and that's not the entire story - but for you musical lovers - I don't want to give away the entire story...
This is our cast:
And a few pictures:
This is Toledo Surprise -- where I get my big chance...
(I'm the one in the blue dress....I promise)
This is Message From a Nightengale
(I'm the one with/in front of the gong)
And this is backstage...We call ths Drowsy Duck Lips...I'm on the right....
If you live in the area...I HIGHLY suggest you come see this show...it's spectacular.
