I thought it was Maud Dunlop?


She's in the Ladies Auxillary....she will sing the Pickalittle songs, follow Eulaile around, and do all the Grecian Urn stuff. And pretty much take part in all the chorus stuff.

i actually thought it was Maude* lol

Anyways i played the part ummm basically everything brock07 said. She gets the cool parts during the pick a little songs instead of just singing the pick a littles over and over again. If you ham it up the right way it can be an amazingly fun part =]

Muad is pretty much your own chararter, meaning she is what ever you make her to be. Tell your mom if she wants to get in charater for this role she can answer these questions as Muad:

How much do you admire Mrs Shinn?

Are you clumsy?

Do you love Ewart Dunlop enough to hold his arm?

Are you a little embarressed by Ewart Dunlop?

When Mr. Hill comes to town are you supicious or do you fall in love with him?

I'm playing Maud Dunlop and our director put all of us Pickalittles together to figure out our history (how long we've known each other, where we met, etc.) and also what kind of bird we are. So we had to look at the individual qualities of each Pickalittle and think of a bird that matched those qualities, and then use that bird to come up with how to walk, talk, etc. We decided that I'm a parrot since I love repeating whatever I hear, even if it's not meant to be repeated ("of course I shouldn't tell you this but...").

But like Artistic heart said, she really can be whatever you make her into. Just choose a direction and commit to it.
