Happy snowy Monday!  We hope you are safe and warm inside today!  While you are (hopefully) lounging in your pjs, check out our cast interview with Christie Phillips!

Name

Christie Phillips

What's your role in Robin Hood?
Annabel

What's your favorite part of the show?
Each time the Sheriff is thwarted or humiliated (sorry Gary)

Why is operetta important to you?
Operetta is usually fun and lighthearted with a lot of great singing. Having spoken, instead of sung, dialogue is a welcome challenge for me, as I am really quite green with memorizing lines not attached to music. Each way lends itself to a different sort of opportunity for expression, but as spoken dialogue has no built-in constraints with timing or pitch, I'm enjoying playing with the possibilities.

Why should people come see this 19th century show about the 12th century in the 21st century?
You said it. It's an exciting melding of 3 distinct influences: a modern lens we can't fully escape; 19th century language, musical style, and interpretation; and an old story that everyone loves!

When you're not performing in community theatre, what do you do? (job, hobby, family, etc.)
According to my three kids, my primary job is taking care of our dog. They're probably right.

Don't miss Christie and the rest of the fabulous Robin Hood cast next month!  Call the F. Scott Fitzgerald Theatre box office at 240-314-8690 for your tickets or go online HERE.
