LAND OF CLEVE INTERVIEW: Winging It With Local Actor Pat Miller, Star of Blank Canvas Theatre's Batty Musical 'Bat Boy'
by Cleve Land via NEohioPAL 30 Oct '15

30 Oct '15

*LAND OF CLEVE INTERVIEW: * * Winging It With Local Actor * * Pat Miller* *Star of Blank Canvas Theatre's * * Batty Musical 'Bat Boy'* *Land of Cleve: You have appeared in Ohio as Bat Boy in college before your current run at Blank Canvas -- how is your appearance different, and how is it the same?Pat: I first performed this role my freshmen year of college at the University of Toledo. I was studying film and studio art, but still had an interest in theatre. Auditioning as a college freshmen, I was simply hoping to be cast in the show. I can still remember seeing my name next to Bat Boy on the cast list, and being filled with excitement and fear!Luckily, both of these experiences have been completely different – and I mean that in a good way. I was unfamiliar with the material when I first began this journey. Thankfully, the college rehearsal process was much longer, allowing me more time to learn the music, memorize the lines, and discover how to transform into this creature. I owe a great deal to the University of Toledo production staff, including my director Dr. Edmund B. Lingan, my musical director Jim Norman, and my choreographer Jessica Bonnenfant-Coogan.Eight years later, I am pleased with how quickly the music and lines came back to me. This has been extremely beneficial during the five week rehearsal process at Blank Canvas Theatre. I have been able to focus more on my physical transformation, detailing every movement and motivation to make Bat Boy as real as possible. Director Patrick Ciamacco has helped me immensely with discovering all kinds of new ways to physically and emotionally divest in this role.One of the coolest differences between these two experiences has been my appearance. We went a little more natural at the University of Toledo, mainly buzzing my hair and using custom-fit rows of ferocious top and bottom teeth. At Blank Canvas, my head is completely shaved, creepy contact lenses cover my eyes, jagged teeth line my mouth, and lots of pale makeup covers my skin. Audience members, cast mates, and production staff have told me, “I’m not sure I would know this was you if I didn’t already know you were playing Bat Boy.” I love that! As an actor, my favorite roles are the ones that allow me to completely transform myself into someone very different...* *READ THE WHOLE INTERVIEW AT:* *http://inthelandofcleve.b <http://inthelandofcleve.b>**logspot.com/2015/10/fast-five-winging-it-with-local-actor.html <http://logspot.com/2015/10/fast-five-winging-it-with-local-actor.html>*

J-Crew presents "Kill World" a non-competitive 48 Hour Film Horror Project for Cleveland. We have a great time making this and we would like to thank all our cast/crew for putting up with us for a weekend. The total time spent for this came out up about 30 hours :) and we had fun and we did it for that reason. We integrated 2 Panasonic GH4 cameras with four 720p Video Spy Sunglasses and a Moza Lite. The talented make up crew (Ron, Jules and Shawn), creates each zombie in less than 20 mins, and the fun of having Jennifer as The Ghost, on red dress and 'hover' all over. Hats off to a great team! The J-Crew Team! Jamming, Jiving, Jangling, Jacks J-CREW RULES! Enjoy our film! And Feel free to share it :) https://youtu.be/Cqj0IJsRg3g Johnny Wu
