Here is my acting resume' - all of which is true.
2nd Grade
Paul Bunyan in the Saint Agnes Production of "Paul Bunyan and Babe The Blue Ox"
All I remember is wearing boots that were too big and eating popcorn on stage. I have no idea why Paul Bunyan eats popcorn but he does.
8th Grade
Captain Von Trapp in the Saint Agnes Production of "The Sound of Music"
I landed this role during a period of my development known as puberty where my voice was changing. My solo performance of "Edelwiess" was absolutely humiliating.
Freshman Year
Leader of the Socs Gang in the Saint Xavier Production of "The Outsiders"
My stage-combat training from YPAS landed me the job of orchestrating the rumble scene. Stay gold pony boy.
Sophomore Year
Judge Randolph in the Saint Xavier Production of "A Few Good Men"
Can you handle the truth?
Junior Year
Private Boone in the Saint Xavier Production of "M.A.S.H."
My role was the comic relief. Every time I entered or exited the stage I tripped on my unlaced boots.
Hi-larious!
Senior Year - I lost my thespian ambitions.
Currently not acting.

I was in the same play three different times. Our Town by Thornton Wilder. In the first two productions I died of an appendicitis. In the third I delivered milk with an invisible horse. I preferred delivering milk to the ruptured appendix.
Very impressive!
Mine is rather short:
1st Grade
I was a rabbit. I don't remember WHY or what play it was. My costume was handmade by a relative. I insisted that I be a lop-eared rabbit, as we raised rabbits and they were my favorites. All of the other kids thought that my ears were defective because they wouldn't stand up.
(Now, in my old age, my girlfriend stilla ccuses my ears of being defective.)
2nd grade
I was part of a "flower choir" for a production of "Chicken Little". Having the song of "The Sky iS Falling" stuck in my head for 20+ years is probably at the root of my liberal ideologies.
3rd grade
I was originally a soldier in "The Sound of Music" (a Nazi, I remind you) but, at the last minute, was made a Von Trapp kid. I remember a kid passing out in the middle of the play because he locked his knees for too long during a scene.
5th grade
Here's where I became king asshole: I auditioned for "The Emporer's New Clothes" and took one of the leads- the character with the most lines- proceeded to kick everybody's asses with my memorizing of thelines and such. My sole intetion was to sobotage the play because I hated my teacher. (Still do.) I quit the night before.
I even rode my bike up and watched the performance as my replacement had to read lines from the sript while on-stage.
7th grade
I was a cowboy in a play about the Oklahoma land-run.
Boo.
fucking soc. we can't be friends.

The thought of you and edeilweiss gave me the giggles all the way from my office to the car.
Let's see about me. Not much in elementary school other than playing "A Spoon Full of Sugar" at a talent show while wearing high heels for the first time. (5th grade and they were borrowed from a friend as my mother would never have bought me heels) I had memorized the piece but promptly forgot it on stage, thus 1st most embarrassing moment.
Middle school was uneventful, braces and glasses make a person not desire the limelight.
9th grade-- Chorus girl in Auntie Mame, wore dress with plunging neckline to enhance my "new boobs"
2nd most embarrassing moment in life. Solo on piano at Jazz band Xmas concert. I was so nervous about it I decided to pre record it on the keyboard memory and then fake it during the performance. Even though I checked the recording the night before the concert, everything went horribly wrong.
10th grade
flute and piccolo in pit for "Bye Bye Birdie" We love you Conrad.
11th grade
Pink Lady Marty in GREASE! I sang a song in a kimono with no mic because as most of you know...I am really loud.
12th grade
Head secretary Ms. Krumholz in "How to Succeed in Business without Really Trying" This was before I knew that a person could find vintage dresses at thrift stores (duh!) I actually RENTED mine from a costume shop.
