Ok! Update for Marat/Sade! Since I am only a freshman, (and one of only two to be cast) I was placed in the ensamble, but that means that I get to create my character and determine what his mental illness is. So here is my guys story...So, when my character was a young boy he witnessed a murder and was never sure whether or not the murderer saw him. For days afterwards, he would see the man like in his window or on the street and whenever my character would look again, the man would be gone. This later manifested into a severe case of paranoid skitzofrenia where I would see the man appear every so often and this would cause me to have a panic attack and break down (which I'll get to do on stage :-) yay!).
So come to Brockport on December 2-10th and watch me have a nervous breakdown...among other things. I can promise you that it will be a theatrical experience beyond your wildest imaginations.
