By over-exaggerating and by being expressive and somewhat crazy , the actors of the fall musical , ‘ Snow White and the Prince ,’ increased confidence in fully expressing themselves .
Exaggeration was a big part of the role for Grace Lee who played the Evil Queen . “ My character , she ’ s really selfish and she thinks that she is the most beautiful in the land but actually , she ’ s really evil .” Grace said , “ I don ’ t think that I had any similarities , that is why it was really hard to act because I had to be really mean [ to other characters ].”
However , despite the differences , exaggerating the evil and selfish characteristics of the queen helped Grace contribute to a successful show .
“ For you to act really well , you need to be overreacting ” so everything you say and do should “ be exaggerated ,” concluded Grace .
Jun Woo , who played the Prince , said , “ expressing different emotions is just very fun . I love acting because you can be anyone from any place given the script . It gives you a way to imagine what it ’ s like to be someone else and escape your body , the person of your consciousness , and become someone else and just try to understand others ’ psychology , [ and ] others ’ lives . Experiencing this outside my own life is really fascinating for me .”
Brendan Hodge , who played Rupert , admitted he was similar offstage and onstage because of his “ crazy ” personality . “ Off stage , I ’ m already a bit energetic with my friends and on stage I also act in a crazy manner and it helps to step right back in … it ’ s fun being crazy .”
Acting in front of a big audience did not scare the actors away , but helped them face their fears and become confident . Through the confidence they gained , they could express not only their characters , but themselves as well .
Sunny Kim who played the Nursemaid reflected on this and said , “ through acting I feel like I got more confident because before I was kind of quiet and a bit more shy and only interacted with friends who I knew . But then now , I feel like I ’ m more outgoing and I ’ m not afraid to raise my hand and talk about things . I know that I can talk about myself .”
Jun Woo also emphasized , “ I feel like as I am acting and giving up my own identity by becoming this character I ’ m strengthening my identity as a thespian , so I think that in that way , that strengthens me .”
‘ Snow White and The Prince ’ was performed on Friday , Oct . 21 , 7 p . m . & Saturday , Oct . 22 , 4 p . m ., and was directed by Ms . Bekah Schneider .
