And good morning, good morning, good morning. We're going to get to
Brian kill me Joan just a little bitman right now. What we're going to
do is talk to some great talented students and miss Green who very talented yourself
too, from Bartlesville High School. I decim as Green, we have a
little bit of a production coming up this spring. Yes, we have Shrek
the Musical which is going to be on stage at Bartlesville High School April twenty
eight through the thirtieth next week. So very very talented students that are going
to be in that production. I see these youngsters just about every time the
curtain goes up at Bartlesville High School, and they're just you guys are such
a delight in whatever you do. And I probably seen maybe about a dozen
productions that you've all been in, and I can't wait to see just what
kind of wizardry you put together for this. I've seen the Shrek animations,
I've never seen Shrek the Musical. Well, I'll tell you that Shrek the
Musical is does require some wizard wizardry. There's a that's a pretty difficult show.
It's very technical, and it's because you're trying to capture the animated um
atmosphere, and there's a lot of really special things that have to happen.
Okay, Shrek, by the way, you've never seen Shrek. It's about
an Ogre and his uh well kind of like his life. Yeah, you
want to talk about that, Wyatt. Yeah, Shrek go for Wyatt.
So this is why it burns. He's Shrek in our production. And um,
he comes out and tells all the little stories about how, um,
Shrek was an Ogre was a little a little guy that encountered a lot of
issues along the way, and people made fun of him, and so he
has to be the hero in the story and save the princess. And um,
it's a little bit about people poking fun at you along the way.
It seems like a shreks. It kind of gets over it doesn't me Yeah
yeah. So so what are you putting into the character of Shrek that we
can kind of look forward to. Um, so I'm in real life,
I'm kind of more reserved, something like having to learn how to like be
be more more angry people. I've never seen you angry. Um, So
that that's creat number one. We get to see why it angry. Yeah,
and what about the sense of humor. You've all you's had a sense
of humor. I've seen some of your deliveries and Mom and me and a
few others. So has that kind of come natural or is that kind of
like what are your quiet talents? Uh? I think I'm I think I'm
kind of fun I know you're funny. So that sense of timing just kind
of falls right off, right there, great Fiona, right, yes,
Oh, I tell us a little bit about Fiona here. Um, Fiona
is this princess and she was locked away in a tower when she was seven
year old, seven years old, and now she's been waiting for about twenty
years for this prince this night to come and save her. And she's fantasized
about it so much. But it takes a little bit of a turn when
Shrek comes and it's a bit it's not what she's expecting. It never is
in real life, believe me, it never is. It's like, oh,
well that's different. So it's a little You've got kind of a comedic
side on this, but you also have a little bit of a serious side.
Yeah, definitely. And I would say one exciting thing about Fiona is
you actually get to see Fiona transform into this princess in the tower who's so
beautiful, until later we find out maybe she's got an alter ego a little
more like Shrek. Then, oh my goodness, as Carter tells a little
bit about what your character is, So I am Donkey, which is the
He's the funniest, most childlike, happy, joyful person in the whole show.
I loved. He just is always annoying Strack as much as he can,
even though he might not know it. But he's just such a fun
role to play. Well, you know you did with the Children's Musical Theater,
you played squid Work, and that's kind of a tough one to top.
But I get in the feeling you're probably gonna beat it with this one.
Maybe, yeah, a little bit. Uh Well, folks are just
gonna have to buy a ticket to find out, now, won't they.
I think so. And the box office of the open next Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday from ten thirty to one and then again at six to eight pm
in the evening time and one hour before each show. Wow, this is
gonna be cool. This is gonna be so much fun. I cannot wait
for the curtain to go up on this now. Last year you all were
in Mama Mia, if I'm not mistaken, and that was something that I
think the kids kind of knew what's coming on but didn't quite quite for sure.
You do then veiling with What Ruins on Broadway? Yes, and into
January. We always announced what the show is and none of you a sauce.
But this is gonna be a lot of fun. How many of you
watch Shrek when you were younger? At must say? There you go,
so Miss Green, They're gonna fall right any character they are. It's a
really really great show. We have super super talented kids at BHS. They
will knock your socks off. They're really really phenomenal. They truly are.
But they also have great teachers too. We have a great creative staff,
so Tamara Walker, Alice Roddy and Seth Weimer are and myself are the creative
team, and it takes a ton of other volunteers and sponsors and parents that
help us pull a show like this together. I'm gonna miss Sama, I'm
gonna ask you this. I sing for a living part time. It's easy
to sing, but to sing it to walk around and be another character at
the same time, a little bit of a challenge or do you get through
this kind of free yourself on that? Um, it's definitely a challenge taking
on this character and like they're singing style. But like I said, I
have a great teacher, creative staff that has definitely helped me give this character
its unique voice. Yeah, it's easier said than done, but all right,
just want to check and see how that all goes together. Here.
There's a lot of training and these kids I have been trained up since they
are a little and they've been doing all of this and of a very professional
quality. Ah well, I'll tell you what. Good luck to everybody,
and again the show is next week on April twenty eighth through the thirtieth.
April twenty eighth and ninth, seven pm and April thirtieth as our three pm
performance. Great, I will see you at all performances. I have to.
I want to well, thank you very much for coming in, appreciate
having all right, thank you
