Hello,
My name is Skylar Wheat and I am playing The Cat in the Hat in Seussical! I was so excited and gladly accepted this role. We recently just started rehearsing, but I am already getting a feel of who the Cat is and what he represents. He is the symbol of mischief and imagination. He is always thinking up new ways to have a little fun and maybe even get Jojo into a bit of trouble! I absolutely love the cameos in this show! Its going to be a ton of fun and I am truly excited.
I am also costuming this show. As part of the Directors In Training program, I am in charge of doing the makeup and costuming of a show and I was given the task of Seussical. What a task! These aren't just animals, these characters don't even exist! (Unless you believe them to..) A heavy dose of creativity is one of the main ingredients in making these characters come to life on stage. I am so thankful for all of the help and resources given to me. I can't wait to see it all come together.
Theatre has been a major part of my life for the majority of my life. I started this journey with my first show "The Wizard of Oz" under Beth Grove's direction. I was hooked ever since. There came a point however when I stopped going. Cody and I had been in "Oliver!" together and I heard that he was having auditions for "The Jungle Book Jr." I auditioned and he gave me the part of Mowgli. I thought I knew what I was doing but I was wrong. I can remember Cody pulling me aside and explaining to me what my character was trying to do. Our friendship was no barrier to his job as a director. He told me what I was doing wrong, and how I needed to do it, at a very young age. I cannot thank him enough for that. I feel as if that moment was what broke me out of my shell and propelled me forward. Cody has always challenged me to do better and I have seen him grow an organization like none I have ever seen. I am so proud of him and what he and Santana have made of CharACTers. It amazes me when new and higher goals are set. It completely blows me away when those goals are achieved. But it cannot be done alone.
CharACTers is not just a community theatre. It is a family through and through. I really don't think you could say that enough! It is such a beautiful thing to see so many people from so many different backgrounds come together to work as one for the enjoyment of others. Theatre holds something very special to me as I know it does with so many. I really hope you come out and see Seussical! It is our gift to you!
I can't wait to see what this experience holds for myself and for CharACTers as a whole. With each show we grow more and more, personally, and as a family. Let the fun begin!
