Actor Bios DUE Feb. 16, also

Your Actor Bio is different from your CHARACTER BIO. Your CHARACTER BIO is you the actor in role as your character, writing from your character's point of view, as if you are your character, writing the bio of you as your character. (Yes, I'm being repetitious on purpose.)

CHARACTER BIO example:

Britte Marsh

"Sandy"

Most Likely to be a Millionaire through Marriage

Favorite Saying: "Do or do not, there is no try" --Yoda

Hobbies: Puppetry, Costume Design, Writing and Zumba

Ambition: To work as an English Literature Teacher on every continent with the exception of Antarctica.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once you finish your CHARACTER BIO due on Feb. 16 (see post below from Dramaturg Britte Marsh for those details), it'll be time to write your ACTOR BIO.

__________________________________________________________________________________

Your ACTOR BIO is about you, as an actor. You should write about your experience. Here are some tips: http://www.meronlangsner.com/blog-taking-note-and-taking-notes/how-to-write-a-bio-for-a-playbill

ACTOR BIO example:

Jo Strom Lane (Ensemble) recently played Sue Bayliss in All My Sons and Warder in Witness for the Prosecution for New Century Players, and Monica in Family Hardware for Fertile Ground 2016. In her past, her favorite roles have been Vera Claythorne in And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie, and The Mute in The Fantasticks. In Portland's 14th Ave. Players, she also played Sylvia Barrett in Up The Down Staircase. While at Roosevelt High School's Opening Act Theatre Company, she was an ensemble member in Hairspray. She is excited to be a part of this show and would like to thank Jim P. for his support! Much love to her supporters, Troupe 7289, and Oregon Thespians who inspire her daily!

 

ACTOR BIOS are ALSO DUE FEB. 16. 

 

* Email your actor bio to jolane@pps.net by midnight Feb. 16.

* You must have the subject line: GREASE ACTOR BIO--Your Name. (Yes, put your name in the place of Your Name. Seriously simple.)

* Include only your bio as the email message. NO OTHER INFORMATION. (Really. Simple. I don't need notes explaining anything if you just follow directions. I promise.)

 

If you do not follow directions, your bio will not be included. Also simple as that.

 

THANK YOU!
