meet [jenna]

Since we're into our second day of rehearsals we thought that it would be apropos (that's French for apropos) to introduce the cast of our little musical. And what better way then with a little Q & A. So to kick things off introducing our [susan]

[jenna sokolowski]

1) If you were a drag queen what would your name be?

Oh, something simple yet something that feels good rolling off the tongue, you know? Like Amanda Playwith or Sharon Husbands. Wait, no. Simpler. Less constrained. It would have to be: Bera Breast.

2) What would you use as an audition song for an all female production of 1776?

Wow! What an awesome idea! Okay, which part am I auditioning for? Let’s see… if it’s for John Adams, I think I’d choose “How Lovely to be a Woman,” from Bye-Bye Birdie. But my “character choice” would be that my woman couldn’t reach things in high places. So, she’d spend the whole song reaching higher and higher – both literally and metaphorically. For instance, the character would try to brush her hair, but alas! The brush is just out of reach!!! And the final note of the song would be the second-to-highest note on the planet because women have been reaching forever and ever for the opportunity to be powerhouses in the government and maybe start their own country. A country of women who rule!!! But for any other part, I’d definitely sing “Can’t get enough of your love baby” by Barry White. (Character Choice: Barry F-ing White.)

3) If you could hang out with any TV celebrity from the 1980s who would it be and why?

“Well, hello, Tom Sellek! I was just wondering if you might help me sel-LICK these stamps…?

4) If you could go to any "fictional" place, where would you go?

Take me to the world of Anne of Green Gables!

5) Worst costume ever?

“She might try to eat my baby!”

6) What’s the color of your toothbrush?

It’s Red. And White. Oooh like the Polish Flag!

7) What would you want to be written on your tombstone?

Nobody writes on my tombstone pizza. NOBODY.

8) What does the last text message on your phone say?

Haha, I actually asked a friend what she thought was the worst costume ever. Her response: “Bloody T**pon!” She must have mis-typed the last letter. She MEANT a “T,” I’m sure of it. And you know, I just don’t think that a bloody teapot is all that bad. Sorry, Julie.

9) Name the most obscure Broadway musical theatre actor you can think of (dead or alive)

Okay I don’t know how to answer this question without the help of google…. Which is cheating, right? But just the same, this doesn’t answer the question but did you know that Veggie Tales has a segment called “Obscure Broadway Show Tunes with Larry,” where they sing classics like, “Where have all the staplers gone?”

10) What do you have your “doots” about?

I hope that as ye slide down the banister of life, may the splinters never point in the wrong direction!
