Hello, first of all I am new here and it looks like a great place. Now on to the question:

I am in the show B & B but I am casted as a chorus member. I have a name for the villager character. It is the Sausage Curl Girl. Does anyone know what this character is? Or what she does? What I mean by that is does she sell anything? Please reply if you know the answer. Or even if you have a good guess. Thank you.

Well, I would say that if the director has not told you anything, then it is pretty much open for interpretation. Create the character's backstory, what she does in the village, who she likes, who she would love to hang around and why, that sort of thing. It really helps flesh out the character. Too often plays fall flat, especially in a community theatre setting, because the background, secondary, and tertiary characters are not fleshed out, which leads to them not being acted as well as they could be which drags a scene down.

Anyway, not trying to get off on some kind of ranty lecture thing ^^

My guess is that she's in the very beginning in the village in the song "Belle." She probably has a small solo.

I don?t know if this helps, but here is a reference to the early use of the term ?Sausage curl? http://histclo.hispeed.com/style/head/hair/curl/curls.html - http://histclo.hispeed.com/style/head/hair/curl/curls.html
