Julius Caesar

Here are some fun pictures from the production I was in during February and March. I was a little weary about playing a pants role (play a boy) since I'd never done it before. This is really common for my voice type though (I'm a mezzo-soprano which is the lowest soprano) so I knew it would be a good experience. I actually ended up having a lot of fun. Especially since my character is a bratty, power hungry, hormonal teenage boy who throws temper tantrums. Too funny. If you want to see some pictures from the actual production click here. There are some REALLY fun pictures. Click on ASU Lyric Opera Theatre and the password is LOT (in all caps).

There were nine of us from my voice studio in the Caesar cast and four of us had major roles. That says a lot about our fabulous teacher!
