Shows I don't Like
I've been listening to tunes from AccuRadio, and I've discovered that no matter how much I like Bernadette Peters, I cannot stand the soundtrack for Annie Get Your Gun. I also don't like Gypsy, which once again featured Peters in the 90's.

Leon Rabin awards
I had a good time attending my first ever Dallas Theatre League, Rabin Awards. It was great seeing some of my friends in the Dallas Theatre community. Personal re-connections included Patty Granville, Buff Shurr, Paula Morelan, Steve Beene, Linda Frank, Linda Leonard, Lindsey Holloway, Alan Hanna, Carlos, Gomez, Blake Davidson, Jackie Lengfelder, Amanda Durbin, Delynda Moravec, Tony Martin, & Christine Cunningham. Thanks to Shannah Silverman for sitting with me so I wouldn't feel alone.
I was sorry none of my fellow singing ensemble members from Kiss Me, Kate were there.
Highlights of the evening were the numbers from WaterTower Theatre's Urinetown, and Uptown Players' Pageant and Tommy. Blake Davidson did a great job on "Where is That Life that Late I Led" of course.

The Orchestra is Tuning
I am curious. Am I the only one who is a fan of musical theatre who absolutely loathes Overtures? Could someone who knows a little more about theatre history explain the purpose of the Overture?

Local Companies
I added several more Theatre Companies to the sidebar on the right. If your company isn't listed, and it wants to be, just let me know. You can leave a comment.
2006 Leon Rabin Nominations
I went to the Leon Rabin Awards nominations announcement party last night up at The Arts Centre Theatre in Plano, new home of Classical Acting Company. Had a great time. Caught up with some friends, namely Linda Frank, Carlos Gomez, Linda Leonard, Andy Redmon, Lindsey Holloway, Celeste Rogers, Alan Hanna, and Patty Granville.
A complete list of nominees is available at The Dallas Morning News.
Congrats to all the nominees. I'm particularly pleased at the nominations of Lindsey Holloway, Buff Shurr, Larry Miller, Blake Davidson, Christine Cunningham, Andy Gosnell, and the rest of my cast and crew mates for Kiss Me, Kate.
I didn't see any of the nominated shows except for the two at Garland Summer Musicals, so I have no idea what will or should win.

City of Angels
I caught City of Angels at Flower Mound Performing Arts Theatre last night. I may give a full review later (when I have my playbill in my hands), but for now, let me just say that if you can get tickets to one of the last three performances (Today, Tomorrow, and Sunday), you most definitely should.
I had been waiting for someone to mount this show. This was my first trip to FMPAT, so I was somewhat surprised at the size of the space. In fact, when we first walked in the theatre, I was very worried that the show would never work. I was wrong. I had always pictured this show on a full stage with things flying in and out and full sets. FMPAT's production should be a lesson to all local theatre companies that just about any show can be staged if you use some creativity.

You Say Tomato
Caught Mesquite Community Theatre's final performance of A Bad Year for Tomatoes. This was my first trip to MCT's Black Box at the Mesquite Arts Center. The space is a bit odd and difficult for staging shows.
The show itself was fine. I had Assistant Directed this play a couple of years ago, but because I also served as Stage Manager, I never really got to see it once we were in full tech and costumes.
In Mesquite, Act 1 lasted an hour and forty-five minutes. I know some of that is just because the Act is written long, but I think the pacing could have been a bit tighter. I saw folks leaving at intermission. I don't know if it was because they weren't enjoying it, or if they just had to get home and were afraid that Act 2 would be just as long. Act 2 only ran 25 minutes, which did make the total time fairly reasonable.
When I was involved with this show, the Director suggested that we move intermission to after Scene 2 of Act 1. That would have made the balance better, but there are costume and makeup issues that would make such a break difficult to pull off. However, it would make more sense because Scene 3 is a couple of months later than Scene 2, and then Act 2 follows Act 1 Scene 3 later the same day. It seems that the entire reason for the Act break is because of the costume and makeup issue.

Grease is the Word
I managed to catch the final Dress Rehearsal for KCCT's production of Grease. I'll be getting back for a real performance before the run is over. I was told that opening night was Standing Room Only, and chairs were brought in along the aisles. KCCT hadn't had a sell-out since 2003's production of 42nd Street. We came close with Anything Goes and Annie but never quite got there.
Congrats to Sarah, her production team, and the cast for a successful opening weekend. Hope the whole run goes great.

The Draw of the Theatre
I have friends and family who don't understand why the theatre means so much to me. I've tried my best to explain it, but for some reason, I can't seem to get it across.
It's about passion.
Some people are passionate about sports. Others are passionate about cooking. Or reading, or sewing, or music, or their pets, or any of a number of other things. For me, theatre makes me feel alive and gets my blood pumping. It may not be rational, but then again, passion and reason seldom go hand-in-hand.
For several years, I was not involved in acting. When I look back at those times, I can see that I was drifting in many ways. I filled my days with school for most of that time, but once I finished my formal education, I was wandering aimlessly, without passion for life. Getting back up on the stage brought that passion back to me. I re-discovered my talent and tapped back into my creative side.
To those of us who are passionate about performing, it's not just something we do; rather, it is part of who we are.

Three Down, Three to Go
We made it through opening weekend, despite some technical problems on both Friday and Saturday. Because of the disjointed rehearsal schedule, there are still parts of the show that I have not seen, but I can hear them through the monitor in the Green Room.
This show has been a tremendous experience. I've made some friends with whom I hope I'll be able to keep in touch after we close next Sunday.
So, to all the Actors, Singers, Dancers, and Crew, see ya Thursday at brush-up. Get some much needed rest this week.

Surviving Tech Weekend
Saturday and Sunday brought hellacious rehearsals for Kiss Me, Kate. We had to start and stop to work the scene changes and for the lighting and other techie matters. Friday evening, I was already wiped out after the full week of work and rehearsals. Then, Staurday, we rehearsed for 8 1/2 hours. I was completely exhausted by the end of the night.
I didn't get to sleep in Sunday because I had to get up to mow my lawn in order not to run afoul of the HOA Gestapo.
However, today, I actually feel fairly refreshed. Despite the sleep debt I am accruing, I've been pretty chipper.
I'm looking forward to opening night on Friday. More than that, I'm looking forward to next Monday evening.

A New Experience
We open Kiss Me, Kate two weeks from tomorrow. In the community theatre shows I've done, by two weeks before opening, we are usually running the show nightly to polish. Most, if not all, props are in hand. Most, if not all, of the set is built. In this show, we haven't even blocked everything. I know it's gonna all come together, and I'm not nearly as nervous about it as I usually am, but it is out of the ordinary for me.

Having Fun
Rehearsals for Kiss Me, Kate have been pretty fun. I admit that I've been a little tired this week due to rehearsals going until 11 pm. My drive home is 30 minutes, so I'm not in bed until after midnight.
I've enjoyed meeting lots of new people. The only folks I knew in the cast before we started were the two Davids. I clicked pretty quickly with Josh (we're close in age) and Tyler (who is a fellow Baylor alum). There is a fair amount of "cutting up" during rehearsal. In fact, I have been amazed at how much we get away with.

First Kiss Me, Kate Rehearsal
Tonight, we got our choral books and the scripts. We learned all the songs in which the ensemble sings.
AND, if things stay as they are now . . .
I have a line.
One whole line of dialogue.
I am a couple of ensemble characters, and one of them gets to speak. I actually didn't expect to have any lines. This is cool.

GSM Cancels Show
I learned last Sunday evening that Garland Summer Musicals had to cancel the Sunday matinee on the 18th because Andy Gosnell, who plays Cosmo Brown, was injured during his "Make 'Em Laugh" number Saturday night. I have not heard if Andy is okay or what the plan is for the coming weekend's performances.
I do hope he's fine. As I said in my review, his performance was outstanding. It makes it even more impressive if he was fighting through pain for most of the show.

"Singin' in the Rain" Review
Gotta make this brief before the thunderstorm really gets rolling.
I caught the Saturday night performance of Singin' in the Rain at the Patty Granville Performing Arts Center in Garland. This was the first show of the the two show season for Garland Summer Musicals.
The show was entertaining enough to be worth the price of admission. The sound was uneven at times, but that's partly a function of the performance space and partly the result of the inherent unreliability of body mics. If you've ever seen the movie from which the show was adapted, you know the basic premise. Joseph Jones plays Don Lockwood, the established silent picture star who teams with Lina Lamont, played by Allison Rogers. One evening, Lockwood bumps into aspiring actress Kathy Selden, played by Emily Lockhart, and the chemistry is immediate. Or at least it's supposed to be immediate. I've now seen Jones and Lockhart play romantic leads in three shows at GSM (the other two were 42nd Street and Crazy For You), and I still don't believe them as a couple. Okay, so maybe Billy Lawlor isn't really the romantic lead, but you get my point.
The only time I really paid attention to Jones and Lockhart was when they were dancing together. They co-choreographed the show, and they both are at their best when dancing.
The supporting cast was good, with particular notes of praise needing to be given to Steven Beene as the Diction Coach and Linda Frank as Roz, the head of Publicity for Monumental Pictures. Delynda Johnson Moravec also turns in fine performances in two different roles.
Allison Rogers was strong as the conniving and imminently unlikeable Lina. Some around me had difficulty understanding her lines a couple of times, but she did a great job wih the character. Her song, "What's Wrong With Me" was a highlight of the show.
I cannot think of enough ways to praise the performance of Andy Gosnell as Cosmo Brown, Lockwood's best friend and former vaudeville partner. Gosnell stole every scene in which he appeared and routinely got large applause and cheers after his songs. "Make 'Em Laugh" may have been derivative from the original choreography in the movie, but Gosnell made in enjoyable nonetheless.
The show only runs through Sunday the 25th of June, so if you want to see it, don't delay. It isn't the best show I've ever seen, but it's worth the money.

The Final Curtain
Today, we closed the run of The Odd Couple. Nine performances. Eight of them pretty good. Last night, we don't want to talk about.
I had fun, and I enjoyed the challenge of carrying a show. Despite all my fears, I never "went up" one time.
I am looking forward to cutting my hair. I had let it grow out to maintain that sloppy look. I think I'm gonna chop it quite short. I have a month before rehearsals begin for Kiss Me, Kate, so it'll have time to grow out.

Top 5 Shows I've Seen
Here are the 5 best shows I have seen in my life:
5. The Crucible - Snyder High School, U.I.L One-Act-Play State competition 1986
Snyder High School was a theatre juggernaut back in the 80's. This was the show that won First Place the year my alma mater made it to state. I mentioned that before here.
4. Cabaret - Watertower Theatre 2005
A good friend of mine, Lindsey Holloway, won a Leon Rabin Award for her portrayal of Fraulein Kost. The female Emcee worked much better than I thought it would. I'd like to do this show someday.
3. The King and I - Dallas Summer Musicals 1982 or '83
Yul Brynner's final tour.
2. The Producers - Dallas Summer Musicals 2005
I haven't laughed out loud as much in a long time. This show is extremely entertaining.
1. Wicked - Dallas Summer Musicals 2005
I don't like the happy ending that seems tacked on, but other than that, this is a wonderful show. The music is phenomenal, and the cast for the tour was terrific. The two leads sang the roles of Elphaba and Glinda even better than Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth did on the Soundtrack.

The Day that the Lights Went Out in Rockwall
Today, we had a matinee. Mother's Day. Ugh!
Well, I think the idea of having a show on Mother's Day is horrible, but I didn't notice the date when I auditioned for this show. But, being the consummate professional I am, I showed up as required. We were rocking along until about 3 minutes were left in Act One when BOOM! the power went out.
There wasn't an actual "BOOM" noise, but it was instantaneous. Okay, maybe not quite instantaneous. There was a slight power dip, then a surge, then the lights went out. I kept going with my lines. Felix was a little shaken, not knowing whether to plow ahead. He eventually started back up, but after a few lines, the Stage Manager pulled the curtain.
The audience was asked at the premature intermission what they wanted to do, and they all wanted the show to go on. Thankfully, there was enough light from the outside to be able to see on stage.
We did all of Act Two and most of Act Three before the lights came back on with about 3 minutes to go before the final curtain.
The audience was very responsive while the lights were out. I'm guessing that because there weren't many visual distractions, they were paying more attention to the lines than they might otherwise.

We did all of Act Two and most of Act Three before the lights came back on with about 3 minutes to go before the final curtain.
The audience was very responsive while the lights were out. I'm guessing that because there weren't many visual distractions, they were paying more attention to the lines than they might otherwise.

Opening Night
Good crowd. Not quite a sell-out, but close. Good performance.
Bruised the tar out of my left thumb when I slammed my hands down on the table. It's ugly, and it's just gonna be uglier tomorrow. When it happened, I actually thought I had broken my thumb. Thankfully, that does not seem to be the case.

You have to wonder about some people
Last night, my Director for The Odd Couple told me that one of the audience members at last night's preview show said that she thought I was better than Walter Matthau. I appreciate the compliment, really. But, come on, that's more than just a little absurd. Walter Matthau is Oscar Madison.
All I'm hoping for is to entertain the folks who come see the show and not bore them.

Getting Tea'd Off
In tonight's preview show for the Board of Directors of RCP, the glass of water that I am supposed to throw in Felix's face was not pre-set, and I had no idea until it was too late. So, when the fateful moment came, I had no choice but to dash all the way across the stage and grab my glass of "Scotch", which was really tea.
Felix's shirt was stained. I do hope the stain comes out because the actor was wearing his own shirt.
Other than that small glitch, I thought it went pretty well. I'm enjoying fleshing out this character now that I feel confident that I know the lines and won't go up completely on stage.

The Last Rehearsal
Tonight is our final rehearsal proper for The Odd Couple. Starting tomorrow, we have preview audiences every night leading up to Friday night's opening. The show has really come together well in the past week. I finally seem to have remembered all my lines, and most of the previous issues have been resolved. There are always things that could be better, but overall, it's a decent show.

Rehearsal Report
Tonight went much better. The pace was sharper and I only forgot my line one time, and perhaps even better, it wasn't one of the ones that had been a trouble spot for me before. I got all of those.
The show seems to be shaping up fairly well. I think it may still be a little rough for the Preview shows, but we should be okay by opening night.

Odd Couple Update
We open in 12 days, and we have preview audiences after only 5 more rehearsals. Some things are going well. Other things are going . . . not so well.
I had spent the past few days fighting a cold, but I focused my attention on firming up the lines when I'm on stage with Felix. Those went okay today, but the poker player scenes fell apart.
I have to admit that this part might be just a little too big for me.

My First Professional Gig
I got the call from Buff Shurr, the Director for Garland Summer Musicals, earlier this week. He offered me a part in Kiss Me, Kate, and indicated that he was still considering me for Singin' in the Rain but couldn't commit on that one because I have several conflicts with the rehearsal schedule for that show.
I have no delusions of becoming a professional actor anytime in the near or middle-distant future, but getting a slot with this company is a major victory.

My Shot at Redemption
After doing so poorly at the dance auditions for Garland Summer Musicals, I did much better yesterday at the individual audition. My two songs went fine, and the Director asked me to read some sides for consideration as some supporting characters. I was asked to return for callbacks, but they conflict with rehearsal for The Odd Couple, so I won't be able to attend them.

Brought Down to Earth
I have never considered myself to be a great dancer. I'm not a "Triple Threat," but I've always considered myself an Actor who could sing and who can dance well enough not to make a fool of myself on stage. Today, at the dance audition for Garland Summer Musicals, I think I failed that third point. I didn't do too terribly on the jazz combination that was being viewed for consideration for both shows, Singin' in the Rain and Kiss Me, Kate. I wasn't anywhere near the best guy there, but I wasn't anywhere near the worst, either.
When the Tap portion of the audition rolled around, I actually felt better going into it than I had starting the Jazz part. BIG MISTAKE! I knew I was in trouble when the Choreographer said he had kept it simple for us, and then I couldn't even get the very first step in the combination right. Now, keep in mind that my tap shoes have been in a bag since the closing performance of Annie over a year ago. I believe that tap dancing is a lot about muscle memory, and my muscles weren't remembering anything. Given a few weeks of rehearsal, I'm pretty sure I could do a passable job with the tap combination, but there was no way I was going to get there after learning it in about 30 minutes.
On the upside, I got a pretty decent work-out from the 3 hours or so of dancing.
My singing audition isn't until this coming Saturday. I am certainly hopeful that it will go better than the dancing portion did.

Odd Couple Read-Through
We have our Read-through tonight. It was supposed to be last week, but we didn't have any women come out for auditions for the Pigeon sisters, so it had to be delayed until the Director could find two women to fill the roles. We open May 12th, so this is gonna be a short rehearsal period. YIKES!

Death by Highlighter
I went through my script for The Odd Couple last night and highlighted my lines. All 457 of them.
I know a few people who think it's funny that I count the lines in the plays I do. I don't do it to see how many lines I have in comparison to others. I'm just the kind of person who likes to know that kind of thing.
Anyway, 457 lines is by far the most I've ever had. The next closest would be Chris Keller in All My Sons. If I remember correctly, that role was 304 lines. As Bobby Child in Crazy for You, I had a good number of lines and had to learn eleven songs and lots of dancing, but memorizing songs isn't nearly as difficult as memorizing dialogue. I believe I am up to this challenge, but I have to admit that I'm more than a little frightened by the enormity of the task.

Now, It's Garbage
I was driving home from the second night of auditions for The Odd Couple. When I got two miles away from the theatre, my cell phone rang. The Director, Darlene Singleton, had told us that she would let us know quickly, but I was surprised that it was that soon. Darlene offered me the role of Oscar Madison. I, of course, accepted. She said if I came back to the theatre, I could go ahead and pick up my script. I thought it was a good idea because the part is HUGE.
None of the folks who appeared in Rumors with me in Rockwall auditioned for this show. I was surprised and disappointed. I'm looking forward to the challenge of this role. We start rehearsals with a read-through next Monday. Rehearsals only run four-and-a-half weeks before we open. It's gonna be intense.

The Odd Trio
At tonight's first night of auditions for Rockwall Community Playhouse's production of The Odd Couple, only three men showed. No women, either. I sure hope more people come tomorrow night.
But, not anybody TOO good, so I will have a better shot at getting one of the lead roles.
;^)

My Top 5 Favorite Roles
The roles I've enjoyed most in my acting "career" thus far:
5. Kurt in Sound of Music
My first role. I was in seventh grade at the time. This was the role and show that started my love affair with the theatre. I'm not particularly fond of this show any more, but this part should probably always get a mention in any list of this type.
4. Pookie in Loving Molly
To the best of my knowledge, this play is still un-published. It was written by a local playwright in Raleigh, North Carolina. The play is based on a true story of a woman with multiple personality disorder that was presumably caused by sexual abuse by her grandfather. My character was a family friend who may or may not also have sexually assaulted the main character when she was young. The script never makes it clear whether he really tried to do anything or if the main character had mistaken his actions because of the abuse she was suffering at the hands of her grandfather.
3. Mr. Gilmer in To Kill a Mockingbird
Although this character is a Prosecuting Attorney, like Pookie in Loving Molly, he is very much unlike me. When rehearsals began, I was extremely uncomfortable with some of the language I had to use. The cast for this show was excellent from top to bottom, and I enjoyed branching out to a theatre outside my comfort zone.
2. Bobby Child in Crazy for You
My first Leading Role. I got this part pretty much by default. Nobody else came to auditions who even remotely fit the part. I lost 30 pounds during rehearsals (but it all came back later), and I had to learn to tap dance. 11 songs. Lots of dancing. On stage about 80% of the show. This is the role that prompted my dad to say I moved pretty good for a fat guy.
1. Chris Keller in All My Sons
I wasn't supposed to be in this show. I was the Director. I had to step in when the actor I cast in the role quit about 2 1/2 weeks before we were scheduled to open. I had the pleasure of acting with a good friend, Lonny Schonfeld, who played my character's father. We had some intense scenes.
Hmmm . . . 3 dramas and 2 musicals. Probably 6th & 7th would be roles in Neil Simon Comedies: Ken in Rumors and Roy in The Odd Couple. I do like Drama, but unfortunately, in our little theatre, dramas do not draw in audiences.

Third Spear Carrier from the Left
I was noticing that my acting résumé doesn't include that many chorus/ensemble roles. I've been fortunate to play mainly featured/supporting roles with a couple of leading roles thrown in for good measure.
One of my entries that may look like an ensemble part was as part of the Chorus in Medea in High School. In most versions of the play, the Chorus is a traditional Greek Chorus, but in the version we did, the Chorus consisted of myself and one other actor, Johnny Wright. We stood on opposite sides of the downstage edge of the stage, and we had a number of unison lines along with some alternating stuff that had to flow as if it was coming from one person, but moving from one side to the other. Really, it may have been one of the most challenging roles I've ever undertaken.
Johnny and I were honored as members of the All-Star Cast at the District One-Act Play competition that year (1984). Our play made it to State that spring, and along the way, every member of our cast received an acting award at some level. Medea was played by Dana Whitehead, who remains one of, if not the single most talented actor or actress with whom I have ever shared the stage (and that includes a few folks who have some professional TV and movie credits). Dana won Best Actress at every level leading up to State. At State, she failed to win Best Actress. Instead, she was honored with the Samuel French Award as the Outstanding Performer in the entire State of Texas in Class 4A.
Dana moved back to our hometown a few years ago, but unfortunately, being a wife and mother keeps her from getting back up on the boards. It's too bad. She really was that good.

Getting Started
Just getting this going. I'll give more details about the shows I've done and any more shows I do in the future.
To answer the question of why did I chose the particular URL, I have often thought that if I ever decide to use a Stage Name, I would choose Scott Martindale. The people who know me can tell you why.
