I am holding a Shrek because I am Shrek in the school play this year.
Did you audition for it?
I actually did not audition for Shrek. I auditioned for Donkey but I got Shrek.
“That’s like auditioning for a tree and getting ‘God’”~ Vaughn adds.
Are you glad you got Shrek?
Yes and no. I’m glad because I’m able to help people with their roles and I’m not glad about it because I’ve heard it’s a lot of stress on you especially towards the end of February to the beginning of March.
Why did you decide to dye your hair blonde?
Because I wanted to.
Who is your favorite character in Shrek?
Probably Donkey because he is a comedian person.
How do you handle stage fright?
I do have stage fright but the way I handle it is probably just pretending the audience is in their underwear or I pretend they’re not there and I do what I’m supposed to do on stage.
How do you think theater will affect the rest of your life?
That’s a tough question. I don’t like thinking into the future. I like living life to the fullest in the now. I do want to do theater. It is fun especially when you know everyone because you’re like a whole big family. You can help one another whether it’s homework, whether it’s lines, whether it’s helping your community.
If you mess up, how do you cope?
I don’t feel bad about it. I just improvise.
How do you learn all the words?
I look over the script a bunch of times and I shouldn’t really be answering this question because right now I don’t know all of my lines… yet.
