Isabella McAwesomeME Man, the times are changing! A black girl plays Annie, a white kid plays Donkey, but thank God we only have actual ogres playing the ogre roles still.
I think this might be the best high school Shrek I've seen on RU-vid. I play Donkey in my high school tonight and this Donkey was the greatest performance I've seen of the character. Congrats!
The Shrek should be proud... I had chills during 'How I'd Be' - I know High Schoolers aren't comfortable with belting... so he handled all the rough patches well!
I actually worked this show at East (spotlight) , and how we did it was actually two people hiding behind it with a rope to pull to open and close the mouth. The head was rolled on stage, a clip attached to a lowered baton, and then we flew it out to the correct height. At the end of the scene, we would lower the head, unclip it, and roll it away.
