A few weeks ago, Mike was in a play with the San Diego Unified School District's Honor Drama program…I probably am not technically correct on that description. Anyway, it was a district wide project, with kids from around San Diego and was held at La Jolla High. The show I attended was February 18, 2010.He really was in his element for this part. I didn't get a ton of good pictures, mostly because this wasn't our school venue and I wasn't privy to the backstage access I've had before, but he was really great in the part and I managed to get a few shots that show how spectacular his costume was.
Spectacular and HOT! Anyone that knows Mike KNOWS he overheats in a tee shirt and shorts doing nothing! There were so many layers and including the fake fur robe…it was brutal.
He survived and I never heard him complain…much! The show was fun and Mike did an excellent characterization with a pretty good French…yes, I said French accent.
Two of his "minions" were Megan and Emily, from UCHS. They were both in Frankenstein with Mike, but this was definitely a more "up" role!
He even got to keep his beard for the role. He's the only HS kid I know that can grow such a full one! I am glad that he is currently on a more "clean shaved" kick. It has to be cooler! Especially when you have a polar bear on your head.
Here is Mike with his biggest fan…Henry!
Great job, Mike, and the rest of the players!
