Question:In April my school is putting on a production of "On the Air". It's about the last hour before the power is turned off to the radio station, WISH, because of the Great Depression. This last hour is crazy beyond belief with high school sweethearts reuniting, people losing their personalities, a lost idol is found, a writer who can't finish the script because he's drunk...err, "narcoleptic", a fire during the airing of the radio show, distractions galore, a mouse running around, everyone going crazy, and so much more. It is filled with sound effects, a radio show that's going completely wrong, hilarious commercials, and amazing accents. But despite all of this chaos there's a very happy ending. This play is so crazy and hilarious and fits the cast so well. Everyone's casted perfectly. I play the role of "Charlie" who is an odd duck and kind of out there, and the one who owns the mouse, Horatio, which he calls baby as he tries to catch it. Great role for me.=) What's everyone else doing?

Well my school is doing Fiddler on the Roof this year..
I am in the chorus (singing) and chorus(acting)..
and i am not really sure whats it's about..
it's like theres this father who has 5 daughters and he wants to marry off three of them..he has them all paired up but instead they end up liking different guys to who the father wants them to like.


Hope you have fun with your play..it sounds cool (:

Oddly enough, I am also in rehearsal for Fiddler.

My take on the play is slightly different from Zayley's, however.
