Well, since I haven't been doing this very long-I'm not sure I can come up with 5 roles that I've loved. Most of my involvement (until recently) has been in some variety of ensemble.

Favorite Roles
1. Alfred in "Sullivan & Gilbert"
2. Father Virgil in "Nuncrackers"
3. Capt. Albert Lennox in "The Secret Garden"

Shows I've done more than once:
Ragtime (ensemble both times...and loved every minute of it!) And I'd do it again in a heartbeat!

Being mainly a Techie I have no desire to be a Galah! Although I have trod the boards on a few occasions, I prefer to be just a Black Duck on the pond.

HeyJuror $3,

     I only directed my own plays.  If I were to be in my own play, then I would be playing the female lead.  A lot of her 'inner demons' are loosely based on my life, though the situations she faces are purely fictional. Strangely enough when I started writing the plays (I'm now writing the last scene of play number three) I fully intended for the female character to dominate the story thread in play number one & play number three.  And she did in the first play. And he did in the second play.  But when i wrote the third play, the male character sort of 'took over' the plot line so I wrote it as it came.  It turned out to be a much better play.  I wonder if the fact that my 'muse' is a male character I invented means I need help!!!! 

 

Side bar- If I could play the female character when we do the third play, I would.  Especially to play out the 'steamy' but very tastelful (a lot of double entendre lines) Scrabble scene.  A couple of good fight scenes as well. But my three leads who played in the second play are returning to reprise their roles when we do the third play.
