Mike Merluzzi; Freshman; Theatre Major "The overarching goal is for most of the faculty to step back and wee what we can do on our own at this point in our careers, so they know what we are building off of, and what we can build onto." "I really want to show how well I can work and have people say, 'If he can bring this to a freshman showcase, what can he bring to a fully-mounted season production?'" "I think one of the coolest things about the show is that we all come from different schools and teachings, so it's a very unique blend. We are bringing a collaboration of different styles and techniques that we have learned previously before adopting the MSU style and approach." There are songs and poems read between the scenes, all of which were selected by us...so it shows our ability to devise scripts in a way and almost design the music that would go along with a show On another level, we have all taken on design positions...designing the show on our own with a technical director, but all of the designs, sets, lights, and other things are done completely by the freshmen Play was written by Dionne O’Dell, our director. It was written a few years back. The premiere of her show! We added in the music and the poems. “She came to us with a script that we really brought to life and enhanced it in a sense for what we needed.” This performance helps us show what we are capable of in a performance setting You always want to impress, that’s what your ultimate goal is! This is our first, technical departmental show of the season Our director wrote the script, short of that we get limited amount of assistance in technical areas as far as meeting with the technical director of MSU and the head of light. It is interesting in the fact that we have it double casted. Each character is casted twice and there will be two different nights, I think that makes each show unique in a sense. Sidney Anderson; Freshman; Theatre Major "It was a very interesting opportunity because I feel like every element of theatre was involved and whatever you wanted to display as your talent, you were able to." "I think it really opened our eyes to who we will be working with for the next couple years of our lives," she said. "It not only gets us excited for the future, but it gets everyone in the department excited for what they have to work with." Basically we have a show, and then on the outskirts of the show, we have small little acts of talent such as singing and a few poems, rapper, ukulele and guitar It’s just to show off the real talent of everyone that’s coming in She is the sound crew head I think the people in the show have really brought it to life and made it our own. I think our personalities really show through and that’s what really brought it to life! On the surface it seems like it’s a joke, but on the inside it displays a really serious message...so it’s like a comedic way of saying that fame and your desire for fame and power kills you Whether it’s your first year in the program or your first year at the university, it’s very easy to get involved with the showcase We have some girls that are juniors that just changed their major and they wanted to be part of the showcase because they couldn’t audition for the shows (FRESHMAN TO THE PROGRAM) This is all of our first theatre department show This performance means the beginning of an awesome four years and it opens so many doors and opportunities for all of us I think that being in this you make lifelong connections and friends and you really set yourself at a high bar with your performance and your ability to work with other people here, so now my peers and my director know me, know how to work with me. It just establishes you in the program...it’s your first rendezvous and establishing yourself in the program.
