A little bit about Sam


These are the responses from the lovely Samantha Gibbons, our Actors' Conservatory president for next year!

Tell us a little bit about your position in Conservatory.
I am conservatory President and my job is to start warm-ups every day and run all the meetings :) Just make sure things run smoothly and everyone's voice is heard.


What are some of the shows you've done recently? Tell us about it.
My favorite show I've done at SPA was The Mill On The Floss. I played the youngest Maggie, and it was a beautiful experience being in it. 


If you could go out to eat with anyone alive or dead, who would it be?
Johnny Depp/ Tim Burton because Johnny Depp is one of my role models and an incredible actor, and Tim Burton has an interesting intellect. I wanna know what goes on in his head.
What would you say to them?
OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG, you are so awesome :) Probably something like that...


What was your favorite movie as a kid? What is your favorite movie now?
One of my favorite movies as a kid was Monster's Inc. My favorite movie now is THE AVENGERS!

Party in the U.S.A. by Miley Cyrus. it's a good song... :) haha


Who did you want to grow up to be when you were a kid?
Belle from beauty and the beast :)


What was the first job you ever wanted to have?
I wanted to be a veterinarian when I was young


If you could have been in any movie ever made, what would it be and who would you play?
I would do Singing in the Rain and I would want to be Kathy Selden, because that would just be the funnest movie to be in :) Or The Avengers, and I'd be Black Widow because she's awesome and that's the best movie ever!


Who would you want to play you in the movie of your life?
Amanda Bynes. Hands down.


If you wrote a novel, what would it be about?
Super heroes.

Who was your imaginary friend? 
I didn't have one... but now I do. His name is Bob. Whenever something bad happens, I blame it on Bob. :) woot.


If you could live within the universe of any book or movie, what would it be? (i.e., go to Hogwarts, become a Jedi)
DEFINITELY HOGWARTS!!! But living in the world of the City of Bones books wouldn't suck either... :)


Favorite Disney...
...land ride? Indiana Jones
Character? Dory from Finding Nemo
Villian? Ursula from Little Mermaid
Movie? Hard to choose from  such a fantabulous selection, but I would have to say... Ugh! I can't choose!! Everything Pixar

A little bit about Carrie



So, I emailed everyone a bunch of questions to answer about themselves. Here's what I got from Carrie. Enjoy!


If you could go out to eat with anyone alive or dead, who would it be?
If I could go out to eat with anyone alive or dead it would probably be Stanislavsky and Chekhov.  I'd ask for an acting lesson from Konstantine and I'd visit with Chekhov about how he really wanted his plays to be performed.   Actually I'd probably just sit there speechless and not be able to eat anything because I'd be totally freaked out to be in their presence.


What was your favorite movie as a kid? What is your favorite movie now?
Favorite movie as a kid - Random Harvest.  Favorite movie now - To Kill a Mockingbird 


What is your favorite color?
Currently sky blue


Who do you want to grow up to be like?
I want to grow up to be just like Carrie Morgan on a good day.  Never want to be Carrie Morgan on a bad day.


What was the first book/movie/song that made you cry?
First movie that made me cry - Frosty the Snowman.  Cried for days after.   Never bought that the new Frosty was the same as the one that melted.  He didn't have any memory of his experiences with the little girl so he was just a completely different, dumb new snowman.  Still bothers me.   Then there's Bambi's mother getting shot...


And that's a little bit about Carrie Morgan!

And so it begins!

Hi there, everyone :)

This marks the beginning of the Actors' Conservatory Blog! Hooray! I expect you all to be cheering loudly in front of your own personal computer screens.

What's happening here is that I will be posting every few weeks on what is going on for the Actors' Conservatory. Really simple and self-explanatory. And with any luck, other members will be posting things also, because, well, hearing from just one person can be quite boring.

So! The list for next year's 2012-13 members happens to be:

Carrie Morgan--Department Head
Samantha Gibbons--President
Adelle Williams--Vice President
Zack Myrick--Secretary
Danica DiFrancesco--Fundraising
Jillian Brenner--Public Relations
Ana Gregoire--Costumes
Emma Truax--Activities
Claire Wilson--Video Tech (this is me, by the way :])

I can personally verify that all of them are absolutely brilliant. For the next bit, I'll do a post on everyone one at a time so that--even though my guess is that everyone reading this already knows these people, we can learn a bit about them.

Really, I'm out of news here. So go have a good day.
