More on Kat and UIL
I also did one act play, incidentally. I joined sophomore year intending to do tech stuff, only to find a role as an actor in "The Brothers Grimm Spectaculathon" (or, rather, a massively cut down version thereof). The next year, I would star as Detective Rough in "Angel Street" (which you may know as "Gaslight"), and the year after, I would play one of the 5 furies in "The Insanity of Mary Girard". Specifically, I was the Jesus-y one 1/2
Re: More on Kat and UIL, the aforementioned speech
"Do you ever pray, Mary?"
«What do you mean? Of course, I…»
"No, no, no, no. To really, really pray to Almighty God with all of your mind and all of your heart and all of your soul. To pray until His heart and His mind and His soul open out to you until you are riding there. Until you are riding there like crystal. Riding on beams of the purest, whitest, celestial crystal. O Jesus. My Saviour. Sweet, Sweet, Jesus…"
Re: More on Kat and UIL, the aforementioned speech
Yeah. Me. An atheist. Talking about "My Saviour. Sweet, Sweet, Jesus". There's just a nice irony to it, isn't there. An irony made better by the fact I've become something of a Satanist in recent years.
Re: More on Kat and UIL
I've wanted to get back into acting for a while now. I dunno. Maybe if one of you needs an actor for something, get in touch. I might be interested (though I can't guarantee being a good fit for any role). Just don't contact me about improv. Three years of theatre and I can't do improv for shit.
Re: More on Kat and UIL, SPEAKING of improv
Senior year, our theatre teacher asked me and two others who'd been in theatre for a while to demonstrate improv. This wouldn't be worth mentioning except for the fact that *all three of us hate improv*. We proceeded to awkwardly stumble our way through a car buying scene before she finally decided "Okay, nevermind."
Re: More on Kat and UIL, one last thing (more bragging)
BTW, us furies won honorable mention all-star cast that year. Normally, they don't give awards to ensembles, so, more fun stuff for senior year.
More on Kat and UIL
I played the fury that gives a big speech on praying and Jesus, a fact that me and my sister found rather amusing given my atheism. Unfortunately, no one else knew (small Christian town, remember), so they didn't get to share in the joke. Sad. 2/2
