Today I found out that I've been casted to be a pretty major character/role in one of the senior projects (Kermeka, Anna, Karina, and DJ). I was completely surprised when I had learned that I was casted to be Danielle (the donkey), the Democratic candidate. Throughout these months in theatre I have never demonstrated a brilliant performance nor have I impressed my classmates. And so it was a complete shock finding out that I was casted as a main character. At the same time I was extremely excited that our director had faith and promise in my potential to portray this character.
As I read through the script, it was evident that the play focused around political satire. So certain scenes represented specific events in the history of politics. I think that one scene with the hens running about in their contraption represents the events of 9/11. And when the hens run from the Republican to the Democratic candidate, it shows how uninformed modern citizens are in terms of politics and how we seem to take everything at face value. After one read-through of the script, I am excited to perform this play because I believe that its humor will bode well with the audience.
