00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:10.119
Good morning, good morning, good
morning. Welcome, welcome, welcome.

2
00:00:10.119 --> 00:00:13.919
Which time now for our community connection
right here. I'm kay One, the

3
00:00:14.199 --> 00:00:18.800
one you trust, and we have
some of our students here from Bartlesville High

4
00:00:18.839 --> 00:00:21.800
School, Fine Arts, and we've
got the Anatomy of Gray. I said

5
00:00:21.800 --> 00:00:26.000
it correctly, did I not look
the microphone? There? Gray? There

6
00:00:26.079 --> 00:00:30.719
you go? All right. First
of all, let's introduce everyone. Hi.

7
00:00:30.839 --> 00:00:34.320
I'm Conor Hart. I'm a senior
Bartifel High School and my character is

8
00:00:34.359 --> 00:00:38.719
Pastor Phineas s Wingfields. Hi.
I'm Katie Parks. I'm a junior at

9
00:00:38.759 --> 00:00:43.439
Bartlesville High School and my part is
Rebecca Muldoon. Hello. My name is

10
00:00:43.439 --> 00:00:46.799
Noah Argo. I'm a senior Bartiel
High School as well, and I play

11
00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:51.359
doctor Gray. Okay, this sets
it up here right here. First of

12
00:00:51.359 --> 00:00:54.560
all, is a little bit of
confusion because I got confused. I keep

13
00:00:54.640 --> 00:00:58.200
thinking of a Grey's Anatomy, the
book, Gray's Anatomy the TV. But

14
00:00:58.399 --> 00:01:02.320
this is the Anatomy of Gray.
There's a little story behind that, right,

15
00:01:02.439 --> 00:01:04.480
Yes, what's the story? Well, the two aren't related at all.

16
00:01:04.519 --> 00:01:07.920
In fact, that's what I thought. There is a doctor. The

17
00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:12.840
play was actually originally going to be
named Gray's Anatomy, but the playwright decided

18
00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:18.640
to change it through the making of
the play, and then about ten years

19
00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:23.920
afterwards, the show Gray's Anatomy came
out and now we can't find any stuff

20
00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:29.200
for our play. Got to give
us a little bit of a synopsis of

21
00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:33.640
what's going on here, all right. So in the play, June Wildon,

22
00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:37.280
who is Rebecca's daughter and another one
of the main characters in the play,

23
00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:41.560
her father dies and after that she
wishes for a doctor to come to

24
00:01:41.599 --> 00:01:46.840
town so nothing bad will happen to
anybody else. And so mysteriously a doctor

25
00:01:46.879 --> 00:01:51.319
comes into town and sickness follows him, and that's kind of the show.

26
00:01:51.879 --> 00:01:55.599
Now, Katie, you play a
pretty substantial role in here, because there

27
00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:57.719
are people dying around you, but
you're fine, well for a while.

28
00:01:57.760 --> 00:02:02.280
Anyway, a while I'm fine,
and then I get sick and people are

29
00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:10.360
suspecting that it's the doctor causing the
sickness. Oh really, and so all

30
00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:16.360
heck breaks loose, and yeah,
the show's really heavy on seems of like

31
00:02:16.439 --> 00:02:22.159
finding found family and like who can
you trust in? Who can you not?

32
00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:25.199
And there's a really this is a
small cast. There's only about eleven

33
00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:31.479
is people in it, and it's
really interesting seeing how the cast splits apart

34
00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:38.159
and how bonds form and stuff throughout
the show. Not only do you play

35
00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:42.159
a woman, but you play a
woman with a child. Yes, it's

36
00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:52.360
funny. Funnily enough, my daughter
is older than me, and she's older

37
00:02:52.400 --> 00:03:00.919
than me, and it turns out
Rebecca is pregnant. Do you need a

38
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:02.919
doctor? So great, tell us
a little bit about what you do.

39
00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:07.520
You kind of appear on the scene
mysteriously. Well, I appear and I

40
00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:09.840
start to help some of the folks
around the town. But then these weird

41
00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:13.840
marks start to show up, and
they start to suspect it's me because I'm

42
00:03:13.960 --> 00:03:17.639
different from them. And yeah,
it's also the like eighteen hundreds, so

43
00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:21.360
you know, it's always a new
guy in the eighteen hundred. Yeah,

44
00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:25.120
of course, and so here are
you. Nope, and then they try

45
00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:30.039
to exile me just again. Yeah. All you try to do is help,

46
00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:31.280
right, Yep, I'm just trying
to help them. You're not an

47
00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:35.960
evil. No, I'm doing fine. I'm a I'm a I'm no nare

48
00:03:36.039 --> 00:03:40.400
dweller. He's just a guy,
yeah, doctor Grey practice meds. Oh

49
00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:45.159
wow, well this sounds like this
is gonna kind of keep people hanging on

50
00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:47.759
between scenes, and it's really got
a lot of glue. As they say,

51
00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:52.840
they'll pull it all itself together here
towards the towards the end. Don't

52
00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:54.520
spoil it for me, because I'm
gonna go see it. But I need

53
00:03:54.639 --> 00:04:01.719
to know. When is the play? February twenty ninth, March second that

54
00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:08.120
Thursday and Saturday, and it's at
the Fine Arts Cutter at Bartlesville High School

55
00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:12.599
and they're both at seven pm.
Yeah, what's price price? I think

56
00:04:12.759 --> 00:04:16.040
what five dollars per ticket? Five
dollars a ticket for right now? If

57
00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:18.959
you buy in pre sale and then
at the door at the show, they

58
00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:23.959
will be ten dollars. And doors
should open at six thirty, so you

59
00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:26.959
can show up a little bit early
to buy your tickets and settle in and

60
00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:30.000
stuff. We always show up early. Katie's got a fan who has to

61
00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:36.720
sit in the front row, so
it worked out pretty good. But anyway,

62
00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:42.519
this is great. I've seen you
all in a variety of different characters.

63
00:04:42.920 --> 00:04:46.879
Now, Carter, i've seen you
is an old man a lot.

64
00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:49.720
Oh, and you're about the youngest
looking person. I thank you, bet,

65
00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:53.720
I mean, the only kind of
Peggy is an old guy. Yeah.

66
00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:58.639
Actually, my sophomore year of high
school, I did all the plays

67
00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:00.319
and stuff, and so I was
casted as the three I was casting it

68
00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:04.319
as an old man three times in
a row, for every main for every

69
00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:08.319
play that we did. It wasn't
until the musical that I was able to

70
00:05:08.319 --> 00:05:11.920
play somebody my age, which is
really interesting. Since I do have a

71
00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:15.480
young face, it's easier to make
me either really old or really young,

72
00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:17.240
and not usually in the middle.
But I'm glad that this time I'm kind

73
00:05:17.279 --> 00:05:21.279
of playing a middle ish character.
That's good. That's good because you know,

74
00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:25.480
I thought for a while there,
you're going to start getting social Security

75
00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:30.319
before you graduated. Katie, You've
done a lot of different characters, a

76
00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:34.680
lot of sometimes as many as three
or four in the same production. In

77
00:05:35.519 --> 00:05:40.879
plays, we tend to keep it, try to keep it like one character

78
00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:45.839
per person. As soon as the
musical comes in, it's as many characters

79
00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:50.240
as you can fit. Pretty much, and with CMT like they cast you

80
00:05:50.319 --> 00:05:54.839
as multiple things. But this is
my first time at the high school playing

81
00:05:55.079 --> 00:05:58.680
such a big role. Well,
you had a pretty good sized couple of

82
00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:01.519
roles in a Shakespeare even played King
Lear Yeah, I got to die,

83
00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:08.360
so that was pretty that was a
big deal. You played, and you

84
00:06:08.439 --> 00:06:14.399
played, you played several really interesting
I never know what you're gonna come out,

85
00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:16.360
That's what I love. But it's
a it's a real uh flowing the

86
00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:18.879
fastballs, the curveballs. Man,
they never know what's coming next. They

87
00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:23.879
don't they don't know what was What's
your favorite man? Honestly, probably gone

88
00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:26.879
I. I only it was one
scene all I was in, but I

89
00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:29.439
loved getting to crawl around on the
stage. It was just it was just

90
00:06:29.560 --> 00:06:31.519
so it was just so fun.
Well, people couldn't take your their eyes

91
00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:34.839
off you. They're like, going, this is really freaky b good.

92
00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:39.759
Yeah. What other characters have you
played? Well? I played in the

93
00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:44.279
previous play. I was one of
the leads, uh to the tune gentlemen

94
00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:47.879
of Arona and King Lear. I
was one of I would kind of a

95
00:06:48.199 --> 00:06:55.000
main villain almost, and then most
of my other roles have been very small

96
00:06:55.160 --> 00:06:58.839
or like an ensemble kind of thing. So those songs rolls are kind of

97
00:06:58.879 --> 00:07:02.120
fun, aren't they. Yeah,
the musicals especially, you kind of just

98
00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:06.560
get to jam out and do whatever
you want. And as someone who's done

99
00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:13.360
both leads and ensemble and both they
both kind of come with their caveats and

100
00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:16.040
stuff, But especially in musicals,
like you'd expect that you would want to

101
00:07:16.120 --> 00:07:19.560
be the lead all the time,
but leads sometimes just kind of are away

102
00:07:19.600 --> 00:07:23.680
from everybody else and you don't get
to like join in and have that kind

103
00:07:23.720 --> 00:07:27.120
of found family as easily. So
being ensemble in those is awesome. Now,

104
00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:30.040
Katie, this is your first big
lead since you have played the part

105
00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:38.480
of Robinson Crusoe and then children's theater
production, so this is kind of kind

106
00:07:38.519 --> 00:07:42.759
of circling back. You started off
as a lead, then you've played many

107
00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:46.040
different characters, and now you're a
lead role again. This is definitely,

108
00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:48.439
I would have to say, one
of my favorite parts, except of course

109
00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:56.639
Peter Pam always number one. So
once again we got the show coming up

110
00:07:56.680 --> 00:08:00.199
the twenty ninth and the second and
it's at seven o'clock. Buying our it's

111
00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:05.360
auditorium, Bartletviille High School. Tickets
in advance are five dollars, ten dollars

112
00:08:05.399 --> 00:08:07.959
at the door. How do we
get the advanced ticket? It's going to

113
00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:11.560
go to you. Usually you can
find a student you know, or you

114
00:08:11.600 --> 00:08:13.720
can go to the director and then
you can buy the tickets from them.

115
00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:18.040
I believe that we will have the
ticket box open. I don't know if

116
00:08:18.040 --> 00:08:20.399
it's open right now, but it
should, like the week leading up to

117
00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:24.560
the show. It should be open
and you can walk in through the f

118
00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:26.319
A C And get some tickets that
way. Well, that's great. You

119
00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:33.080
know, you've got great support there, You've got great instructors and that that

120
00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:39.039
seth beell. I don't know what
he doesn't do because he seems like he's

121
00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:41.600
like the quietest guy. He just
kind of smiles and it's like, got

122
00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:46.039
it, okay, you can ask
him to do almost anything. Yeah,

123
00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:50.879
And I miss Roddy is an excellent
teacher from what everybody's in in here,

124
00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:56.600
especially when they're with her. Yes, But you know, but the whole

125
00:08:56.639 --> 00:09:01.679
Fine Arts department, it seems like
there's a lot of different commingling that that

126
00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:07.120
happens there, whether it's choir,
whether it's theater, whether it's work distract

127
00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:11.000
and there's just a lot of intersections
of the students. Oh yeah, for

128
00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:15.799
sure, And especially since we've had
gotten our new band directors, there's been

129
00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:18.080
a lot of intermingling, especially with
band, choir and theater. Yeah,

130
00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:22.919
and it's just really awesome to see
how everything works together. It's really cool.

131
00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:28.919
I'm going to ask Katie this question
because not only have you been on

132
00:09:30.159 --> 00:09:33.559
stage, but you've done a lot
of behind the scenes. You even built

133
00:09:33.679 --> 00:09:39.200
sets on occasion. Yeah, somebody's
shoulder to use a hammer. Ye,

134
00:09:39.799 --> 00:09:43.600
thanks mom for teaching me how to
use a hammer. Yes. I have

135
00:09:45.720 --> 00:09:50.159
been backstage for all the plays this
year except this one, so I was

136
00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:54.120
thinking, hm, let's change it
up. So now, what's your favorite

137
00:09:54.120 --> 00:09:56.600
when you're behind the scenes. You've
done everything from costume to set design to

138
00:09:56.600 --> 00:10:03.559
everything else. Right, pretty much, I would definitely have to say for

139
00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:11.720
tech tech wise, cautioning is one
of the more fun ones. You guys

140
00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:15.159
are looking like, I gotta change
my clothes. I gotta disagree. Personally,

141
00:10:15.240 --> 00:10:18.399
I love building the sets like it's
just it's so it's so fun because

142
00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:22.679
I put it together and I'm like, man, I really shouldn't be putting

143
00:10:22.679 --> 00:10:24.919
all of my weight on this piece
of wood. I know who did this?

144
00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:28.879
Yeah, I know exactly who did
this? What about you? Just

145
00:10:30.759 --> 00:10:35.279
back and forth too. I've just
done acting. Actually, I just never

146
00:10:35.399 --> 00:10:39.120
got into the tech scene. I
thought I would do that some this year,

147
00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:41.600
but Marching Band kind of got in
the way, they'll do that,

148
00:10:41.240 --> 00:10:46.960
so uh so. Yeah, but
acting has always been super super fun and

149
00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:50.399
the techies are always like super nice, and it's it's just really interesting.

150
00:10:52.399 --> 00:10:56.919
Now most of you are going to
be leaving the school pretty soon, Katie.

151
00:10:56.159 --> 00:11:00.919
Do you plan on doing any acting
post high school? Oh? Absolutely,

152
00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:05.679
I mean I would love to be
a theater teacher, just like it's

153
00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:13.600
because she really taught us well,
and so I'll probably do some stuff in

154
00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:18.440
college. I'm going to o s
U Go Pokes. I'm going for vocal

155
00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:22.759
music education. Uh so I'll be
pretty busy, especially my freshman actually just

156
00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:28.879
all my years. But yeah,
and so I'll definitely be busy. But

157
00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:33.759
the theater program at OSU is pretty
good, so I'll probably stop by for

158
00:11:33.799 --> 00:11:37.399
a couple of shows. No,
oh, I plan on completely dropping all

159
00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:41.240
this. Actually after high school,
I'm going to be an engineer, So

160
00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:43.759
don't I won't have a lot of
time for all this. As much as

161
00:11:43.799 --> 00:11:46.039
I love it, but I think
this is probably my last year of doing

162
00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:48.679
all this kind of stuff. Well, after you get that degree, there's

163
00:11:48.679 --> 00:11:54.480
plenty of community theaters people. Okay, I thought about it. Don't don't

164
00:11:54.799 --> 00:12:01.919
ditch it completely. Just kind of
put it on the shelves. Then I

165
00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:03.679
want to thank you all for coming
in here today. Thank you. I

166
00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:07.559
want to thank you very much for
being a part of our program. And

167
00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:13.159
once again it's the twenty ninth and
the second Bartlesville Fine Arts Auditorium, Bartlesville

168
00:12:13.240 --> 00:12:18.720
High School. It's the Anatomy of
Gray and the tickets are five dollars in

169
00:12:18.759 --> 00:12:22.879
