Chamber Music

Trevor is in the advance company theatre troupe at his middle school.  Every year they compete in the One Act Play UIL Tournament.  In November they performed Arthur Kopit's Chamber Music.  The story is set in 1938 and features eight famous women from different historical periods who all are interned in the same insane asylum.  Trevor played the part of Joan of Arc. He  put off having a haircut for a couple months, saying he had to have longer hair for part.  Of course, he wore a helmet most of the time, but it's all for the sake of the art, right?!  The class did fantastic at the tournament, going to district and taking 3rd place overall.

Trevor was pretty funny. As he enters the first scene, he carries a huge over sized cross that was like twice as big as him.  He keeps running into people with it.  Not sure how much of that was actually acting at times :-)

 

Luke was fascinated with Trevor's liquid latex burn marks. 

It has been interesting to see him play different characters and see his acting skills grow. This was really different than the big musical they put on last spring, Willy Wonka, the Musical.
