Shrek Quotes from Rehearsals

Originally, I had planned to end this blog in June, when I graduated. However, a) I forgot to write a "goodbye" blog post and b) I haven't even started college yet, so who says my senior year is over? I started the blog in August '13 anyway... and there are still some things I want to tell you about!

One thing, and I'll focus on that now, is the show I'm in! Shrek the Musical with Journey Summer Theater!

Today we had costume parade, where we tried on most of our costumes, adjusted them, and got them approved by the director. While waiting around for my turn, I happened to hear a few things that, out of context (or even in context...), are quite strange!

Hopefully after enjoying these hilarious lines, you'll be excited to come see these crazy people on stage! They really put on a good show!

Lord Farquaad (older man): Daddy?!

His father (young boy): I need a beard son, hold on.

 Costume parade... fake facial hair... what can I say? ;)

Guard 1: What do you have for swords today?

Guard 2: I have a light sabor!!

Captain: I have a... mic stand!

That moment when you really need a stand in prop...

Joel: Do I have a head today?

No, did you have one yesterday? In this show, Joel plays a character, Walter the Greeter, who has a huge fake head. I'll leave the rest of that scene a surprise ;)

Pig: Hug me! I'm squishy!

 
Pillows as fat suits make for a comfortable time in the greenroom!



And now for my personal favorite of the day.....

"Lord Farquaad has decreed that men shall not wear pants!"

 


 I think I DIED when I heard this one!!! Oh gosh... still laughing...
