Name: Veronica Birthdate: January 29 Height: 5' 8" Has regularly attended RHPS since: February of 1995 Current character or role: Columbia, Treasurer, Official theatre & venue liason Other regular parts played: Janet, Magenta, Rocky, Trixie & Trannie Actual theater experience: Wigs and makeup for the Seattle Opera, Assistant costume design for many shows at UW. I do have a BA in Drama from that fine institution as well, so a lot of experience there. Various interesting costume construction projects. Why do I do Rocky?: Well, it’s fun and silly but I can also be creative. It’s not like anything else. I can run around in nothing but my underwear, glitter & sequins. What’s not to like? What's the best thing about Rocky?: Do I have to choose one? Here are three: shiny things, being wacky and cute people. Give us more: The Vicarious Theatre Company is the first cast that I performed with. In fact, it wouldn’t have occurred to me to perform if I hadn’t been dragged in as a last minute replacement. Then, I realized that I COULD do this. In truth, I was good at it and I really enjoyed it! At that time, it dawned on me that the people involved had started to become like a family to me. They’ve been involved in all aspects of my life, much to my consternation, at times. I have had boyfriends, roommates, a best friend, classmates, and all manner of other relationships spring up around the VTC. It’s like a bizarre marriage (for better or worse) or the mafia (you can never leave). There was a time when I thought that I would have to leave the VTC, and it pained me more than I could bear. I was going to move to Alaska, but I wanted to commute down to Seattle every month just so that I could still be a part of this group. I didn’t want to lose that. They were like family to me (and still are). A dysfunctional family, to be sure, but no matter how bad things got, I didn’t want to be without them. I’m so glad that I’ve stayed. It seems as if we’re coming into a Golden Age of the VTC. Everybody is getting along and things are being accomplished. The show is having great attendance and we’re getting some regulars along with the rivers of virgins. To the rest of the VTC: I love you and hope that we can keep doing bigger and better things!
