Cast interview: George Willis

The Pirates of VLOC will storm the stage for opening night in exactly two weeks!  Are you ready?  Our Major General is certainly ready for them.  George Willis, who will sing the role of the Major General, tells us more in today's cast interview:

What's your role in the show?
Major General

Is this your first time in Pirates? If no, how many Pirates productions have you been in?
3rd Production of Pirates

When and how did you first get involved with VLOC?
I started working at my new office job in Wheaton, MD in September 2013, so I went to the VLOC season auditions in October. I was cast in the chorus of Yeoman of the Guard, Feb. 2014, to be followed with the role of the Major General in June 2014.

What's your favorite part about being in a show (this particular one, or any show)?
I love to strut around on stage.

What's your least favorite or the hardest part of the rehearsal process for you?
"Reigning it in . . ."  I tend to overact and I want to deliver a quality performance.

When you're not performing in community theatre, what do you do? (job, hobby, family, etc.)
I work in a Commercial Real Estate office during the week.  On weekends, I am a singing server known as "Biscuit Boy" at the Silver Diner near my home in Springfield, VA.

What's your favorite Gilbert & Sullivan show and why? (If you don't have one, pick a favorite musical or opera).
Pirates Rule!

Thanks, George!  Do you have your tickets yet?  Don't miss out on his Major action!
