The Odd Couple

On Friday, I went to my high school's thespian production of "The Odd Couple." I was a Thespian troupe member my junior year and senior year of high school. Thespians is the highest acting group you can be a part of in high school. You have to have been in so many productions in other musicals or plays to even be inducted. Once you have the amount of points needed, you can chose to read a monologue or a poem to be inducted in. Both of my sisters were in Thespians in high school. I was secretary of Thespians my senior year and had to record everything that happened during our meeting. I was in a production called "Greater Tuna" that is originally a two-man show that featured them playing 21 parts together. The play is set in Texas, so we had to bring out the country accents! We broke up the parts equally between the 9 members and each had a couple parts. I was fortunate to play two women. One of my characters was a sweet southern old lady that had a corrupted side as well and owned her own used gun shop. My other character, which was my favorite, was a biopolar woman that always was running around the house yelling at her kids and dogs. I decided that she was really a southern version of my mom, Pam and so it was easy to get into character because I was raised around it my whole life:) This year, my brother was inducted and so I went to go and support him, although he was just on stage crew, and the rest of my friends!
