Dirty Blonde - meet cast member Janette Moman
What
do you find appealing about your character and this show?
I
am most impressed with Mae West's spirit. She was a strong woman who
knew exactly what she wanted even though odds were against her. She
set the standard for what sexy is, and you still see that influence
today. She didn't stop when she hit obstacles, and most appealing to
me is her tenacity and ambition. She wrote her own plays and movie
scripts. She kept journals and acted as though everything was off the top
of her head, but it truly was hard work, drive and business savvy.
How
long have you been acting and what made you get involved in theatre? How did you get
involved with LTA?
My first show since college was in 2011 as
Velma von Tussle in Hairspray at LTA. I had been performing for years as
a singer, but hadn't considered theatre until I saw a show here, and was struck
by magic of this theatre and the incredible talent it draws. I was
searching for another show to attend, and I noticed the audition
page for Hairspray on the website. I just had to be a part of it!
What
advice would you give others who are interested in working in theatre?
LTA is like a family
that will love you and embrace you for who you
are. It's like no other theatre if you want to volunteer to do
anything from house management to lighting to catering to performing. If
you have a special skill you are proud of, LTA could really use your
expertise. I am amazed by the skills my friends here possess, and it's such
a delight to use your talents and skills to help create
something incredible together.
