It has been quite a while since I blogged about my Performance Internship at The Des Moines Playhouse doing "Disney's High School Musical 2." We are coming to a close of our 20 show run this afternoon with a 2 o'clock matinee and it has been a truly interesting and fun experience.
Doing a run of twenty shows has given me the chance to build stamina and knowledge of myself as a performer. I could now do the show in my sleep, but it still hasn't lost its fun to me and this is a nice feeling considering I will be doing even more shows when I make it into musicals on Broadway. Every performance has been a new learning experience of trying to make each line as real as possible... Considering the script for the show is...interestingly cheesy... it has proven even more difficult than I expected, but needless to say, I have made it this far and done a great job with it in the process. The show has been a lot of fun, and signing autographs for little kids after the show has been one of the best parts, because they adore the show and the characters so much because of the commercialism behind it that they think that I am just as cool, if not cooler (Which I am) than the guy in the movie :)
By doing this show I was given the opportunity to work with several people from different schools and programs, and I feel that it has made me grow more as a professional. It is nice to do a show with people that you don't go to school with so you can get a better look at what you might potentially be facing when you get out into the real world after school. I have enjoyed working with these other performers and crew people but I miss my ISU Theatre family and can't wait to get back to work for a killer 09'-10' Season.
I hope that everyone is enjoying their summer internships having "Fun in the Sun" and all that jazz. I cannot wait to see all of you very soon. Take care =D
