Theatre Thing I copied from Caroline
REAL NAME:
Matthew Gallo
STAGE NAME:
Matt Gallo
LAST SHOW YOU ADDED TO YOUR RESUME:
"unLEVINed" (Better Than The Machine- Sketch Comedy Show)?
LAST SHOW YOU AUDITIONED FOR:
Some strange Spec. Commercial, where I got to fight with a cup of water, I think.
DID YOU GET INTO IT:
Nope.
LAST SONG YOU USED AT AN AUDITION:
Um, hmmm, maybe "Jack's Lament" from Nightmare Before Christmas? (can't remember for certain)
FAVORITE THEATRE (VENUE) THAT YOU HAVE PERFORMED IN:
Either the Schimmel Theatre (at Pace) or the P.I.T. (People's Improv Theater)
FAVORITE MUSICAL:
Hmmm, probably Cannibal the Musical, Evil Dead the Musical, or Jesus Christ Superstar? (Also the Last 5 Years is up there.)
NAME A THEATRE SUPERSTITION:
Say Break a leg, or somesuch, instead of "good luck"
LAST PART YOU PLAYED IN A SHOW:
Various in unLEVINed (last full Theatre part was back in school "Talthybious" in Trojan Women)
YOUR GOAL IN SHOW BUSINESS:
To keep acting, somehow... Plus I really wish I could do movies someday, and do a real part in a musical as well.
FAVORITE DIRECTOR:
WHAT WAS YOUR VERY FIRST SHOW:
unless you count, sadly, enacting Goldilocks in a Kindergarten reading, or playing in my Death Metal band Anuerism in 7th Grade, which I doubt you do, than it would be "Judge Hathorne" in the Crucible, 12th Grade.
HAVE YOU EVER HAD A DANCE SOLO:
Yes, actually, in a sktch comedy show, I was dressed as a whale.
HAVE YOU EVER HAD A SINGING SOLO:
Yes, also in a sketch comedy show...
HAVE YOU EVER BEEN THE LAST PERSON TO TAKE A BOW:
Yes, as Pa Ubu, in Ubu Rex (and I walked off last in Trojen Women, but no bow)
NAME A SHOW YOU'VE DONE MORE THAN TWO TIMES:
Um, if you mean seperate productions, than only Sketch shows... If you mean performances, than most of them.
HAVE YOU BEEN TO LA:
Nope
SCARIEST PART OF AN AUDITION:
right before I start
BEST PART OF AN AUDITION:
dependingon the audition, either perforing it, or after it's done
NAME A SHOW YOU WOULD NEVER DO AGAIN:

NAME A SHOW YOU COULD DO FOR YEARS:
Don't know, but probably a number of them, actually

Any number of musicals, A long Day's journey Into Night, Evil Dead the Musical
NAME A PERSON YOU'D LIKE TO WORK WITH AGAIN:
Reid Levin
WHAT ARE YOU AUDITIONING FOR NEXT:
Probably some random film project
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN PERFORMING:
Oh, depending on how you count it, maybe about 14 years, maybe about 10 or 11, maybe more, maybe less...
DO YOU CARRY YOUR HEADSHOTS AROUND WITH YOU:
Sometimes.
DO YOU KEEP IN TOUCH WITH PAST CAST MEMBERS:
Some.
ON A SCALE OF 1-10 HOW IMPORTANT IS GETTING PAID:
as far as interest in the work, like a 1, as far as necessity/hope in life, maybe 8?
WHAT IS YOUR MOST MEMORABLE PERFORMANCE:
Probably Pa Ubu, I guess.
WHAT'S SOMETHING EMBARRASSING OR UNEXPECTED THAT HAPPENED TO YOU WHILE ON STAGE.
I missed an entrance, and had to sloppily go along with the other actors well executed cover, last minute.
WHO IS THE MOST DIFFICULT PERSON (ON STAGE OR OFF) THAT YOU HAVE EVER WORKED WITH:
The idiot who should never have been the lead in the horrify community production of 12 Angry Jurors I was in (and she quit 2 weeks before opening, I guess thankfully).

No.

e) Cried? sort off
f) Fired a gun? Yes
g) Driven a car? No?
h) Been drenched? Yes, well sort of

IF YOU WERE ON BROADWAY RIGHT NOW, WHAT SHOW WOULD YOU WANT TO BE IN AND WHAT ROLE WOULD YOU PLAY?
Right now? Oh I don't remember what all is still there or has shown up... But I'd still like to be in a Musical. Also, something from Eugene O'Neil, Eric Bogosian, or John Patrick Shanley.
