PROPOSALS: THIRTEEN

Proposals

Musical: Thirteen

Ruth Martino - Role: Charlotte 
                           Role: Props

                         

My role for the end of year show ‘Thirteen’ is a female character Charlotte who is part of the cheerleading squad besides Molly and the leader Kendra. Charlotte sees through all of Lucy’s intentions and quickly tries to warn Kendra about Lucy, but Lucy lies and calls Charlotte the ‘Jealous’ one.

This role has the responsibilities of keeping the group very compact and united at all times when we make an appearance during the play. Being a cheerleader and followers of Kendra in a way definitely needs to be portrayed in the way I act in the play and in Kendra’s presence around me, demonstrating the urge of wanting to be like her, continuously agreeing with absolutely everything she tends to say.

The responsibilities of the role, is always attending rehearsals as a start, as it enables you as a person and character to always been on track. As the role of Charlotte doesn’t require that much dialog in the play, I do need to know the que’s for Kendra to enter stage for example, as we always seem to make an appearance on stage when she is on.

Within' the musical I also have a technical role of the 'Props'.
This role requires a very imaginative mind as you will need to identify from the script what props each scene or character needs inside the play. 

You will also always need to be always punctual to rehearsals and on top of your game any moment, as you'll need to always need to be prepared to write down notes,.

Responsibilities: 

• During pre-production Props organisers liaise with production designers and art directors to break down the script, and to determine what props are required. 

• At this stage Property Masters may work with production buyers who carry out research into period props, styles of furniture, etc., by referring to archives, internet files, books and photographs, or by discussing the requirements with specialized advisors.

• Property Masters subsequently draw up complete properties lists, and set up and label the properties tables, which are used during production. From the lists, Property Masters select which properties are to be bought in, or hired, and which are to be made. LINK
