Theater 4 One Act Play MDT 2017

It's not about the toothpaste, John! I know you saw it sitting there on the counter, but it's not yours! It's not my fault you neglect your dental hygiene and you can't afford to comb it! Hey, hey, hey, Kaylee, what you doing? I'm practicing my model officer 4 audition! Awesome! Oh, cool! Have you got your headshot or your resume? Oh, hi guys!

Do you want to listen to my 16-bar painting for Theater 4 auditions? Yes?

Okay! It's just—

Cash!

Cash! Are you a graduate of 2003? Hang on, don't go. Are you a graduate of 2003? Is anybody here a graduate of 2003?

Gracie, why do you need that?

I need a graduate of 2003 to sign my letter of recommendation for Theater 4 auditions. What? Yeah, I just need a look. We're practicing our interpretive dancing for Theater 4 auditions.

Oh, this is my proof of residency, you know, for Theater 4 auditions. I don't even live in Riverdale! It has to be all recent in the past 5 years.

Oh my gosh! You see this?

Charles?

I, the man who banned thee.

Wait, what? What is that? What are you doing?

Well, this is our 8th generation back of genealogy for theater for August 8th. What?

Prismatic is why I appreciate theater in my life. Let's go for 50 pages, right? It's a little weak in some parts. Oh, it's our 50 page thesis statement for theater four audition.

What? Pacer test.

Why does that matter?

Because it's for good board admissions. What?

No, you have to fail the pacer test.

Okay guys, we're all gonna come back tomorrow. If you have any questions, group chat, but we're all gonna make it, okay? Okay. What are you guys doing? Our pregnancy test. Oh, positive! Sacrifice for beautiful.

I got a shipment for Gracie. Sign here. Have a great day.

Well, this is the sand from the Mediterranean Sea that we need for Meteor 4. Oh no, no, I got it for all of us.

Okay, no, no, it's okay. You don't need any of that. Just talk to Clem and you're in Meteor 4.

What?

Oh look! It's me! It's not more ear. We were doing this weird stepping through snow activity for Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind for auditions, and I have one question on my mind: should I even be here? But I guess for our understanding today, I'm going to show you the worst decision I made. Okay, so this is me— well, it's my reaction after I got the lead as Vittorian for The Pillowman. The Pillowman by far was one of the best experiences that I had in theater in general. It was just really awesome for me to be in it with all the best friends I had.

So this is me, and this is during Mary Poppins, and it was after all the dancers had just finished painting their costumes. So the fabric, you know, was a little stiff. And I have this vivid memory of all of us going to do a roll on the floor floor. And that was followed by a grunt and no one making it up off the floor. So we were all stuck there in our stiff costumes laughing our heads off, and I just love the small moments I've shared with these people, and I love them all. So this is me when I sung the song Ohio with Jess Woolley in the MDT Revue, and we accidentally painted Oklahoma on our shirts instead of Ohio. And that was one of the funniest moments So this was in Mary Poppins on closing night. When the curtain went down at the end of Act 1, Ben, who played my little brother Michael, turned to me and said, "We're never going to get to do this show again." And then both of us started crying, and he jumped in my arms and gave me the biggest hug, and we both just cried because we were going to miss each other so much, and I really thought of him as my little brother. Okay, so this is the moment back in September when I almost broke my foot, and before this I never felt really involved or supported in theater at all, but then through my healing process I learned that theater is really just this giant family that's there to support and love you, and I'm really going to miss these guys next year.

So this over here is me during— see how they run— me and Sophia Snuck back into the drama room, and I found this plastic little ball. So of course, me being me, I decided to throw it at Ms. Wyatt. Me and Ms. Wyatt start getting in this battle, and we're throwing it back and forth. Finally, she grabs it and runs off to her car and goes home. Well, the next day in class, little did I know that she gave half the class a ball. So during her announcements, she says the word watermelon, and I just look, and half the class stands up and throws the ball. This here is my mother and older sister. My mother here has helped me so very much with making all the friends that I have and helping me keep them and making sure that none of them leave my house until they're 10 pounds heavier. And this here is my older sister, the person who convinced me to audition for MDT in the first place. And without that, I don't think I would have been nearly as involved in theater, nor have made nearly the amount of friends that I have today. And I don't think I would be the man I am today without either of them, and I need to say thank you very much.

He's like, "Lily, you need to talk to more people." It's so scary to me. And anyways, I realized this has been holding me back for 2 years. For 2 years I was with these amazing people and didn't know them because I didn't ever take the courage to ever talk to them. And now I know them and they're like the best people. Like, so fun.

Um, this is, I think, the embodiment of theater for It might just seem like a simple high five to a lot of you, but I think it's what theater pros stand for. Whenever someone accomplishes something, we give each other a high five. Or whenever someone pops to the goods, finally, we give each other a high five. And whenever we're just having a hard time, we give each other a high five. And I think it shows how much we support and how much we love each other, and we'll continue to support and love each other in our past, in our Past high school into college. So this is for the time that Mr. Eaton gave me his front row tickets to Hamilton. I won through a lottery. And even though Hamilton was nice, a big part of that memory is that it shows that Mr. Eaton isn't the boogeyman that everyone thinks he is.

This memory is from stage crew last year. We were setting up— or a lot of us were setting or cutting gels on the front stage for lights, and Miss Reaton was setting up the acoustical shells which go behind choirs when they sing. And part of it you have to flip up above your head and then raise it up. And he was flipping that piece up and it fell back down on top of him and it made the nice Klin sandwich. And I just remember him yelling, "Somebody help me!" He was in between the pieces and nobody helped him. We were all laughing so hard that that we physically could not get up to help him. And that is one of my funniest memories I have from theater. This is one of my most favorite and most embarrassing memories from theater in high school. Sophomore year, Gracie Heavey came to my house to practice our pantomime the night before our state drama competition. And while we were practicing in my basement, I excused myself to the bathroom to change out of sweats into some shorts. And I came back and told her that my room just got like really, really hot, and so I had to change. But I actually peed my pants and I didn't want to tell them.

This is me in Musepan, and Musepan was the last big musical we did here, and it was a really exciting production because it was something I'd worked for a really long time. And it was cool because I got to share it with my little brother who played Medtriff, and then also my little sister Mackenzie.

And it was also the first show that my older brother saw when he came back from school. —be in New York City, and being in New York was one of the most extraordinary experiences of my life, and I remember feeling that everything just was right. And one day when I was sitting on the subway, I remember thinking to myself that this is where I'm supposed to be and that I need to go.

So after high school, Kaitlyn will be going on many adventures and seeing what life has in store for her.

I will be going to S-U-U.

Emma and Jenfri will be rooming together at BYU.

Dalton will be serving an LDS mission in Hong Kong.

Lily will be getting her generals done at SLCC.

Jenna will be going to skateboarding camp.

Charlie will be going to SLCC for spring sports. Jackson will be going on an LDS mission followed by going to BYU. Rosie will be going to SU for technical theater. Can you offer both your siblings the active DNA accuracy of both of you?
