WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:02.279
And good morning, good morning,
good morning. We're going to get to

2
00:00:02.319 --> 00:00:05.519
Brian kill me Joan just a little
bitman right now. What we're going to

3
00:00:05.599 --> 00:00:12.519
do is talk to some great talented
students and miss Green who very talented yourself

4
00:00:12.519 --> 00:00:16.920
too, from Bartlesville High School.
I decim as Green, we have a

5
00:00:16.960 --> 00:00:21.440
little bit of a production coming up
this spring. Yes, we have Shrek

6
00:00:21.480 --> 00:00:26.160
the Musical which is going to be
on stage at Bartlesville High School April twenty

7
00:00:26.199 --> 00:00:30.719
eight through the thirtieth next week.
So very very talented students that are going

8
00:00:30.760 --> 00:00:34.799
to be in that production. I
see these youngsters just about every time the

9
00:00:34.840 --> 00:00:38.840
curtain goes up at Bartlesville High School, and they're just you guys are such

10
00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:42.439
a delight in whatever you do.
And I probably seen maybe about a dozen

11
00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:46.280
productions that you've all been in,
and I can't wait to see just what

12
00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:50.840
kind of wizardry you put together for
this. I've seen the Shrek animations,

13
00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:55.359
I've never seen Shrek the Musical.
Well, I'll tell you that Shrek the

14
00:00:55.439 --> 00:01:02.880
Musical is does require some wizard wizardry. There's a that's a pretty difficult show.

15
00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:10.480
It's very technical, and it's because
you're trying to capture the animated um

16
00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:14.760
atmosphere, and there's a lot of
really special things that have to happen.

17
00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:19.640
Okay, Shrek, by the way, you've never seen Shrek. It's about

18
00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:23.959
an Ogre and his uh well kind
of like his life. Yeah, you

19
00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:30.359
want to talk about that, Wyatt. Yeah, Shrek go for Wyatt.

20
00:01:32.519 --> 00:01:36.879
So this is why it burns.
He's Shrek in our production. And um,

21
00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:41.519
he comes out and tells all the
little stories about how, um,

22
00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:46.560
Shrek was an Ogre was a little
a little guy that encountered a lot of

23
00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:49.640
issues along the way, and people
made fun of him, and so he

24
00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:53.480
has to be the hero in the
story and save the princess. And um,

25
00:01:53.879 --> 00:01:57.200
it's a little bit about people poking
fun at you along the way.

26
00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:01.359
It seems like a shreks. It
kind of gets over it doesn't me Yeah

27
00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:06.599
yeah. So so what are you
putting into the character of Shrek that we

28
00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:12.039
can kind of look forward to.
Um, so I'm in real life,

29
00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:15.080
I'm kind of more reserved, something
like having to learn how to like be

30
00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:23.599
be more more angry people. I've
never seen you angry. Um, So

31
00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:27.520
that that's creat number one. We
get to see why it angry. Yeah,

32
00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:30.000
and what about the sense of humor. You've all you's had a sense

33
00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:32.280
of humor. I've seen some of
your deliveries and Mom and me and a

34
00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:36.639
few others. So has that kind
of come natural or is that kind of

35
00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:40.120
like what are your quiet talents?
Uh? I think I'm I think I'm

36
00:02:40.199 --> 00:02:45.319
kind of fun I know you're funny. So that sense of timing just kind

37
00:02:45.319 --> 00:02:50.639
of falls right off, right there, great Fiona, right, yes,

38
00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:53.039
Oh, I tell us a little
bit about Fiona here. Um, Fiona

39
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:58.680
is this princess and she was locked
away in a tower when she was seven

40
00:02:58.719 --> 00:03:02.319
year old, seven years old,
and now she's been waiting for about twenty

41
00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:07.560
years for this prince this night to
come and save her. And she's fantasized

42
00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:10.599
about it so much. But it
takes a little bit of a turn when

43
00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:16.680
Shrek comes and it's a bit it's
not what she's expecting. It never is

44
00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:23.439
in real life, believe me,
it never is. It's like, oh,

45
00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:28.520
well that's different. So it's a
little You've got kind of a comedic

46
00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:31.400
side on this, but you also
have a little bit of a serious side.

47
00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:38.280
Yeah, definitely. And I would
say one exciting thing about Fiona is

48
00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:43.520
you actually get to see Fiona transform
into this princess in the tower who's so

49
00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:47.360
beautiful, until later we find out
maybe she's got an alter ego a little

50
00:03:49.400 --> 00:03:53.360
more like Shrek. Then, oh
my goodness, as Carter tells a little

51
00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:59.719
bit about what your character is,
So I am Donkey, which is the

52
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:05.439
He's the funniest, most childlike,
happy, joyful person in the whole show.

53
00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:11.800
I loved. He just is always
annoying Strack as much as he can,

54
00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:15.079
even though he might not know it. But he's just such a fun

55
00:04:15.160 --> 00:04:20.519
role to play. Well, you
know you did with the Children's Musical Theater,

56
00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:24.680
you played squid Work, and that's
kind of a tough one to top.

57
00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:27.600
But I get in the feeling you're
probably gonna beat it with this one.

58
00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:31.040
Maybe, yeah, a little bit. Uh Well, folks are just

59
00:04:31.079 --> 00:04:33.519
gonna have to buy a ticket to
find out, now, won't they.

60
00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:39.439
I think so. And the box
office of the open next Tuesday, Wednesday

61
00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:43.879
and Thursday from ten thirty to one
and then again at six to eight pm

62
00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:46.759
in the evening time and one hour
before each show. Wow, this is

63
00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:50.319
gonna be cool. This is gonna
be so much fun. I cannot wait

64
00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:56.240
for the curtain to go up on
this now. Last year you all were

65
00:04:56.439 --> 00:05:00.480
in Mama Mia, if I'm not
mistaken, and that was something that I

66
00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:03.800
think the kids kind of knew what's
coming on but didn't quite quite for sure.

67
00:05:03.839 --> 00:05:08.360
You do then veiling with What Ruins
on Broadway? Yes, and into

68
00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:11.600
January. We always announced what the
show is and none of you a sauce.

69
00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:16.240
But this is gonna be a lot
of fun. How many of you

70
00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:20.000
watch Shrek when you were younger?
At must say? There you go,

71
00:05:20.439 --> 00:05:25.199
so Miss Green, They're gonna fall
right any character they are. It's a

72
00:05:25.279 --> 00:05:28.839
really really great show. We have
super super talented kids at BHS. They

73
00:05:28.839 --> 00:05:31.439
will knock your socks off. They're
really really phenomenal. They truly are.

74
00:05:31.480 --> 00:05:34.800
But they also have great teachers too. We have a great creative staff,

75
00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:40.399
so Tamara Walker, Alice Roddy and
Seth Weimer are and myself are the creative

76
00:05:40.439 --> 00:05:46.000
team, and it takes a ton
of other volunteers and sponsors and parents that

77
00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:48.720
help us pull a show like this
together. I'm gonna miss Sama, I'm

78
00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:55.079
gonna ask you this. I sing
for a living part time. It's easy

79
00:05:55.079 --> 00:05:59.360
to sing, but to sing it
to walk around and be another character at

80
00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:00.480
the same time, a little bit
of a challenge or do you get through

81
00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:05.920
this kind of free yourself on that? Um, it's definitely a challenge taking

82
00:06:05.959 --> 00:06:10.920
on this character and like they're singing
style. But like I said, I

83
00:06:10.920 --> 00:06:16.040
have a great teacher, creative staff
that has definitely helped me give this character

84
00:06:16.160 --> 00:06:20.519
its unique voice. Yeah, it's
easier said than done, but all right,

85
00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:23.959
just want to check and see how
that all goes together. Here.

86
00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:27.439
There's a lot of training and these
kids I have been trained up since they

87
00:06:27.439 --> 00:06:30.519
are a little and they've been doing
all of this and of a very professional

88
00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:33.920
quality. Ah well, I'll tell
you what. Good luck to everybody,

89
00:06:33.959 --> 00:06:40.600
and again the show is next week
on April twenty eighth through the thirtieth.

90
00:06:40.600 --> 00:06:44.480
April twenty eighth and ninth, seven
pm and April thirtieth as our three pm

91
00:06:44.519 --> 00:06:48.040
performance. Great, I will see
you at all performances. I have to.

92
00:06:48.920 --> 00:06:53.439
I want to well, thank you
very much for coming in, appreciate

93
00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:54.519
having all right, thank you
