This year I performed in Theater on Cedar's fall production: The Girl Who Cried Turnip and Other Folk Tales. We ended up having a smallish cast, so I had parts in 3 of the 4 short plays that comprised Turnip. I was part of the chorus in The Girl Who Cried Turnip, the Emperor in The Emperor's New clothes, and a person/villager in Why The Sky Is Far Away. It was fun and the show had a very successful run. I particularly enjoyed playing the emperor; what a delicious role! The naked fat suit was hilarious!
The emperor had an extensive wardrobe. "Clothes mean more than anything else in the world!"
The emperor processes through the streets, showing off his "new clothes," while the chamberlains (Lauren and Sebastian - who also played the rogue weavers AND were the co-directors for Emperor) hold the emperor's "train."
Lauren, Sebastian, and I as the Turnip Chorus (on left) and the Turnip Townspeople making "turnip a la sapien soup" - ha! (on right). Luckily, for the cute little turnip girl, that part was just a dream.
