Confused
^ Moi line ^
Me 6 months ago- " I would really like to die onstage for once. I think that would be really fun."
Me now- " I am super confused? Which one dies which way? I wish I could just stay alive for once."
My characters:
-Mrs. Gibbs
- Helen
- Amy Eshton
- Hannah
And let's not forget...
-Makeup and hair design for a steampunk Alice in Wonderland
Mrs. Gibbs says "Emily" or "Emily Webb" in Our Town several times. Helen says "Jane" or "Jane Eyre" in Jane Eyre several times. I'm just praying that I don't call Jane Emily, or vice versa.
Mrs. Gibbs dies of pneumonia in the last act. Helen dies of consumption in the very first scene. Switching back and forth between these two is hard.
There is a lot different between them. Mrs. Gibbs is a 35ish year old woman who feels loved and needed. Helen is a little girl who is told that she's worth nothing and isn't loved by anyone but Jane.
I also play Helen, Amy, and Hannah all in the same play. I have no idea how I'm going to do that. Not only is it going to be very hard to totally change character in the middle of the play a bunch of times, I also have a lot of scenes where two of my characters are in the scene at once. In one scene than Helen says something, and then the very line afterwards in Hannah. I'm hoping that my drama teacher knows what she's going to do.
I'm confused guys. Very confused.
