[ The Cast & Crew of "Tales From Far Away" ]

Kimberly-Kay:The 11 year old who had her lines down before anyone else did. Hung mostly with Bluster. Had some kid-type jokes to tell during the run of the show and had some great moments on stage when refering to her imaginary character "Crayola". In the play of course, not in real like. As far as I know anyway.

Bluster/Pumah/Child:Would laugh whenever The Director would give her criticisms. Lisped her lines and went weakly through her roles. Her dad works with my younger brother, so he'll get some inside scope on how I did from his fellow co-worker. It was a hot day at the office, when Kimberly-Kay made her laugh, spitting her water on my back. It was too funny and too hot inside to get mad at her.

Dad/King Henry/Tom:Looks like Frankie Muniz from "Malcolm In The Middle". He's tall and cute, and his gal pals are hot! Those girls look too young though. He's the aspiring film-maker who cast me in his re-make of "Disturbing Behavior". His mom did his make-up for him at home. The Director outed him as gay, but I'm not sure now. I lent him a couple of movies I was in to view. I could see him doing TV and film someday.

Velda/Old Crone/Spirit:Has a caustic wit that'll keep her single. Has a very strong presence on-stage, a booming voice, and always has something to complain about concerning her day. Has done shows with Fantasy Theatre before.

Imelda/Mrs.Pogen:I never asked her what nationality she was, yet I assumed she was of First Nations. Could be Asian. I rubbed my eye to gross her out on how squeeky it is. Always put tons of blue eye-liner for her character, and struggled constantly with her lines which got in the way of her potentially great performance. Loved touching my hair and I secretly envied her comaraderie with......

Prince Hal/Queen/Woody/Parson:I could've sworn he was gay. I still say he's closeted, deep inside of it. Has a wife and 2 year old on a farm that he works out of town at. His make-up made him look pale, like a silent movie actor. The Director always had his hands on him in some form: the gay porno in my head would roll at that moment, cheesy music included. A lovable guy, I'd have him father my children!

Man/Father/Wise Man:He has stars in his eyes, for he hasn't apppreciated the craft of acting, yet. Called me "Star" and I had to tell him to stop it; I'd have ended up tripping him on stage if he insisted calling me that! Did the worst read-through, got the most notes from The Director, works at McDonalds and can't act to save his mother's life. He's a good kid though. I can't hate him at all. His dad looked like a pot-smoking hippie, which seemed to clash with the boy's squeeky-clean appearance.

Daddy Zeke/Little Pumah:Did a greet readthrough, played the violin, or as it was referred to, the fiddle, which she hasn't played in 7 years. Everytime she practiced, "Velda" would complain under her breath. Also a vegetarian. Very androgynous-looking, but I'm not sure which way she swings. We're hanging out for a movie tomorrow, and we'll see where things go. Said her lines way too slow because otherwise she'd say them too fast. The Director saw her in a fringe play and cast her based on that.

King of Arkansas:Had the least amount of lines and used an accent. I was impressed with him, and he added a bumpkin kind of humour to his role. I'll check out his website someday, his virtual mall on-line. Has been to Vancouver so some of our conversations revolved around that. Everytime we had coffee, we'd re-enacted that commercial where the guy is being interrogated and confessess, but the cops keep him there just to drink coffee saying, "All we got is tiiiiiiiiiiiime and coooooooooffee"Good times!

The Director:Makes me laugh when doling out criticisms. Didn't give me too many, which was a good sign. I'd hate to see him naked, but I'm assuming he'd love to see Prince Hal in the buff. Talks to his cat, "Mr.T" alot. I hope to do more productions with him in the future.

Stage Manager:The mother disciplinary of the group, making sure we had set up our props and costumes before each performance. Has a sister who has the same name as me. Just a lovely person, earthy too.

Stage Hand Guy:Looks like he could be cute, but is going for that manly thing of having massive facial hair and greased up hair, drab clothes and things dangling from his belt like the school janitor or building super. He's cool though. Sends out the mailing list of news happenings for the theatre. Apparently, our play has been done 3 other times, and he played "Tom" on one of them.

Mr.T:The orange fat tabby cat that's indifferent to everyone. The most he'll do is sniff your hand then walk away. Is aloof to The Director's conversations and isn't very obedient when it comes to his dinner. Loves to sit on the window ledge, scaring me as he sits on the very edge outside.

Corizelda:Me! The one banished from her father's house with a white dress and suitcase, encountering strange people and making friends, falling in love with a prince, becoming his queen and living happily ever after. It was fun, and I could do it for another month. Too bad I wasn't being paid for it, but it's free acting classes as far as I'm concerned.
