Back when I was in Malad, I auditioned for a town theater role in "A Christmas Carol", and was accepted as Scrooge. I have video tape, that one of these days I need to edit together, but here's a pic from back then. I'm cowering from the ghost of Jacob Marley. ;-)

That's me as scrooge (in the white) cringing from Jacob Marley.

One interesting challenge to this performance was that, even though Marley was reasonably tall fellow, I was still a rather tall and rather well fed Scrooge (though George C. Scott's was rather considerably more well fed).
So, I would spend the entire play attempting to shrink myself (and succeeded in shrinking myself from around 6'8" (pre-injury) to 6'2" or so). At the end of each performance it would take me a while to painfully "unfold". ;-)

The whole production was a lot of fun, if I recall correctly we had 3 performances, I have always loved doing theater, and I hope in time to get chances to do some acting here in Spokane. I have three performances on video tape, that I keep intended to capture to my hard drive and then merge together into a nice single video. Some day... ;-)
