Lincoln High School Senior Class Musical

Grease

Spring 1984

Role - Roger

This is the role that got me addicted to music theatre. I walked into the Senior Class Musical auditions as a freshman and was given a principal role. I have been hooked ever since.

This show also marks the first time I appeared on stage without my pants, an event that seems to happen to me frequently.

My aunt was a dancer at some point, so she taught me a dance number for my audition. In retrospect, it was an exceedingly girly dance number. Also, I sang a Frankie Valley song in falsetto for my audition which probably helped landing this role.

My favorite part was that my character was the comic relief. I played that up as much as a high school freshman could.
