Karen from Fare For All emailed me last week--they've gotten new funding for it and she'd like me to play George (10-year-old boy George) again. FFA is an educational show I've done twice now--once in Feb./March 2001, and then again in Oct./Nov. 2002. Mark Hollman, who wrote Urinetown, wrote it, and actually music-directed it the first time in 2001, right before Urinetown hit Broadway. I remember him telling me about it--
"yeah, I'm doing this show with this weird name." He's a nice guy. I had a good time doing the show both times--for one thing, I love playing weird character roles like that, and what's more counterintuitive for a lil' vixen like me than to play a 10-year-old boy? Karen, the SM, is great and the rest of the crew is great as well although weirdly, there's always been one bad apple in the cast--2001, the woman playing Flora su-hu-hucked (nice woman but would NOT learn her lines), and in 2002, the woman playing my sister was pretty irritating as well (NOT nice). I notice Jen wasn't asked back--hmmm! It's too bad she was such a twit, as we actually did look alike. Rachel, who played my sister the first year, had curly dark, almost black hair and big brown eyes. But she rocked.
Karen wasn't kidding about the new funding--we're getting paid a lot more than the previous two years. Sweet! I did think I didn't want to play it again after the last time--not because I didn't enjoy the experience, but just because I don't want to play it too safe. But--I like working with Karen, and I love playing this little boy. And it'll keep me motivated. I'll do it one more time.
Please God, if Frank is playing Papa again, PLEASE let him learn about the joys of breath mints.
