HEATHERS: THE MUSICAL

Book, Music, & Lyrics by

Laurence O'Keefe & Kevin Murphy

Directed by

Joey Banks

This was probably one of the largest productions I've been a part of at Southwestern.  In terms of size, set, actors, and influence, it really pushed the limits.  With a large ensemble comes a lot of secondary, even tertiary characters.  The director didn't want them to be wasted, so subtle stories were happening all the time outside the main story line.  I know I had my hands full juggling three different characters, but at least now I can say I've shared a gay kiss on stage.  I think Heathers challenged me in finding that balance between personal ideals and the ideals of my characters.  I want to make sure I maintain a healthy distance, but not so far that I can't find the common ground.  Everyone is human and humans are imperfect, why should these characters be any more or less perfect?
