What brought you to
Ohia Productions? I went to
see "Once Upon One Time" at Diamond Head Theatre in 1996 and
immediately said "That's the type of show I want to do". However
anytime they had auditions I usually was already in another show or didn't know
when their auditions were. Finally got to be apart of Ohia's educational road
shows then got to be apart of one of their mainstage productions in 2005 with
"The Adventures of Gary & Harry".
What do you enjoy the
most about being in this production? Not to sound cliche but when you are
in an Ohia show it feels more like a family reunion than a production. Like
wearing comfortable clothes, it just "fits". Always such a fun
experience with nothing but laughs.
What character do you
play and how much of your own personality is in that character? I play King Lolo who like me is very
easy going....and very handsome :) But unlike me he isn't too smart and his
memory isn't too good. He tends to forget a lot.
What's your favorite
musical number in the show? I have to say my favorite musical number in the
show would have to be the very operatic "A Kiss Upon Those Lovely
Lips".
What do you hope the
audience will take with them after seeing the show? I hope like me it encourages aspiring young performers to
keep theatre going and get their creative juices flowing. We can't do these
shows forever so we gotta inspire the next generation to keep it going strong
for years to come. These shows are both fun to be apart of and fun to watch.
Are you a University
of Hawaii alumnus? If so, what was your major and fondest memory of UH? I
did a little theatre at UH. I was in the Cirque Du Soleil styled "The
Comedy of Errors" which was a lot of fun.
