Someone mentioned on the other thread that straight plays should be put into consideration, and I agree. So, here we are.

Mine...just some I can think of off the top of my head:

Viola or Olivia - Twelfth Night
Hermia - Midsummer Night's Dream (in a show that's not elementary school )
Beatrice or Hero - Much Ado About Nothing
Renee - Schoolgirl Figure
Corie - Barefoot in the Park
Any role - Romeo and Juliet, Together (and Alive!) At Last
Susy - Wait Until Dark
Mollie - The Mousetrap
Catherine - The Foreigner
Cecily - Importance of Being Earnest
Any role - Noises Off

[Sweeney Hyde]

1. Dr. Dysart in Equus
2. Macbeth
3. Julius Caesar
4. King Lear
5. Claudius in Hamlet
6. Teddy in Arsenic and Old Lace
7. Either Felix of Oscar in The Odd Couple

[Amber]

1.) Martha Dobie- The Children's Hour
2.) Lady Macbeth- Macbeth
3.) Melissa Gardner- Love Letters
4.) Gilda Radner- Bunny Bunny: A Sort of Love Story
5.) Blanche DuBois- Streetcar
6.) Diane Symonds- Sister Mary Ignatius Explains it all For You
7.) Olivia- Twelfth Night
8.) Prospero- The Tempest (it's POSSIBLE!)
9.) Philomele- Love of the Nightingale

[Brackynn]

Wow ... lots ... but here's a few.

Abigail - The Crucible
Lady Macbeth - Macbeth
Maire - Translations
Any role - Les Liaisons Dangereuses
Gwendolyn - The Importance of Being Earnest
Hannah or Thomasina - Arcadia
Nina - The Seagull
Katherine - The Taming of the Shrew

[Kiwi]

I used to think Katherine in Taming would be fun, until I did the scene where she and Petruchio meet for competition...so many bruises... It was a really fun scene, though, and I'll always love it.

[EponineMNFF]

The Tempest -- Ariel or Prospero (they're both equally unlikely, unfortunately)
Hamlet -- Gertrude (really, I'd prefer Claudius, but... sigh.)
Noises Off - I agree with Kiwi--ANYTHING PLEASE


My brain is like not functioning today. I need to think of more and edit this.

[Beagle On Stage]

Someday when I'm old, I'll be a great Mitch in "Streetcar."

[Cake_in_Song]

Carol Cutrere in Orpheus Descending
Honey in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?*
Mabel in An Ideal Husband
Ophelia in Hamlet
Abigail in The Crucible
Cassandra in The Orestia

I've forgetten the rest. Will post if I remember them.


*Yes, Honey isn't a particularly interesting character, but she matches my look without being impossible to play, which is rare for me, and I'm deeply in love with that show.

[Amber]

oh my gosh.

you'd be a perfect, perfect Ophelia.

[Beagle On Stage]

That reminds me, Hamlet.

I'd also love to do Romeo again now that I'm older and better. But to be honest, I'd be happier and usually better cast as Tybalt. Romeo is too weepy and not enough of a badass.

[Salome]

Again..i've had a chance to play severl but my top 10 I havent yet played are...

1)Blanche in Streetcar
2)Amanda in Private Lives
3) Lady Anne in Richard III
4) Martha in Virgina Woolf
5) Joan of arc in The Lark
6)Anne Boelyn in Anne of the Thousand Days
7) Lady in Orpheus Decending
8 ) Frances Farmer in Saint Frances of Hollywood
9) Salome in Salome
10) regina in The Little Foxes

[Annie]

The Statue in The Fairies are Thirsty
Vee Talbott in Orpheus Descending

Lady M in "Macbeth"

[ConverseSneaker]

Laura from the Glass Menagerie
Lady Macbeth-Macbeth
Perdita-A Winter's Tale, well actually any Shakespeare herione!
Yeah, my knowledge of plays sucks. I need to start reading them.

[jazzygirlsings]

[MaryMag]

[Don't Tell Mama]

I'm only naming a few, because quite honestly there are a few that I actually really want to play:

Ophelia, Hamlet
Ruth, The Homecoming
Laura, The Glass Menagarie
Blanche, A Streetcar Named Desire

It's going to take a while for me to play Blanche, but eventually I'll get around to playing her someday.

[LesWickedPhantom]

Beatrice - Much Ado... (I've never been one to fit into Shakespeare very well, but I would honestly OWN this...)
Kate - All My Sons
Abigail - The Crucible
Helena - Midsummer...

EDIT... I forgot one of my all time favorites...

Rita - Prelude to a Kiss

[pish123c]

In no order other than Alan in Equus being one of those "I must play this before I die" type of roles for me:

1.) Alan-Equus
2.) Hamlet-Hamlet
3.) Mitch-A Streetcar Named Desire
4.) Barry-The Boys Next Door
5.) Big Daddy-Cat on a Hot Tin Roof
6.) Professor Lyman-Bus Stop
7.) Christopher-I Am a Camera

Cornelius in The Matchmaker. The character himself is great, trying to get out his last big adventure before life in the Vandergelder(sp? It's been a while since I'v eread this back in late July) lane, The table flipping scene, a lot of the funniest scenes in the show involve Cornelius, and he's kinda the leader, out of him and Barnaby anyway, just to have a kind of sidekick like that would be so nice.

[Joshua]

[Cake_in_Song]

How did I forget Lady Mac?


And right now, Bob in See Bob Run.
I'm figuring out my type, and it's veering way off in the drug addicts/mental cases/tortured souls direction. I do creepy well because I've got what people call a "quiet intensity" when I act. But I also do funny well, because I have good comic timing. I absolutely cannot play ingenues well, though. Any terribly straight-laced character comes out boring for me, and I'm so frustrated by that. I'd like to be more versatile.

[Tenalto]

Viola -- Twelfth Night
Ophelia -- Hamlet
Helena -- Midsummer
Lady Macbeth -- Macbeth
Beatrice -- Much Ado About Nothing
Pretty much anything Oscar Wilde wrote
Blanche -- Streetcar Named Desire
Maggie -- Cat on a Hot Tin Roof

Basically... I either want to play something fairly comedic, or something where I get to go crazy and/or die. I've always wanted to die on-stage. Does that make me weird?

[Anno_Domini]

My non-musical dream role? One word, my friends:

Edmond

[musictheatre00]

[Beagle On Stage]

[The Duchess of Mint]

[Salome]

Don't ever play Lizzie in a play called 'Lizzie Borden of Fall River" its one of the dryest,thinnest and most histrocally innacuarate plays ive seen.

[wtfchuck]

I'd love to play practically anything shakespeare especially (in order)..

Macbeth - Macbeth

Romeo - Romeo and Juliet

Richard III - Richard III[/u]

[wicked_diva]

Next year, two of the shows we are doing are The Rivals and Importance of Being Earnest.

I absolutely have to be Mrs. Malaprop in The Rivals.

And I would love to be either Lady Bracknell or Miss Prism in Earnest

And other than that, I would really like to play Sarah in Beau Jest and Maria in 12th Night.

I'm not too familiar with that many plays, so I don't have many roles I need to do.
