I was recently in the play
You Have the Right to Remain Dead and one of the characters was a teenager: Trudy Marsh, the techie. The backstage gal, the stage manager, lights, sounds, props, intermission refreshment seller and stage cleaner. She was played by my dear friend Amber. At first I looked for some pigtails for the hair, but couldn't find anything. I duplicated the makeup pretty much perfectly, and for the rest I just came up with my own ideas for the character. It is not a perfect replica of what the character is supposed to be. I suppose you could say it's a "grown-up-Trudy"

"Blanche, I run props. I handle the pistol every night when I load it."
"You load the pistol?!" |
 |
| "My name used to be... Trudy Marsh... Chesterton." |
 |
| "I also clean up backstage before each show, and I sell refreshments at intermission!" |
Trudy was my third favorite character, just because she was so guilty. My second was the cop, Bainbridge, and my first was Leigh (me!), the murderer. Thank you, thank you. *bows and exits*
