Imagine putting yourself on stage and becoming someone else

With this feature, we seek to capture a glimpse of what you and your neighbors have to say about a variety of topics, issues, events – and just plain fun questions.

You might see us anywhere around town, with notepad and camera, randomly seeking out folks who are willing to participate. If we find you, we hope you will want to respond.

At a performance of the Arts Center of Coastal Carolina’s “Rock of Ages,” we asked: “If you were – or are – an actor or performer, what role would you most like to play on stage or screen, and why?”

Kyle Wallace, Hilton Head Island: “In ‘Last Night of Ballyhoo,’ I would love to play Lala’s mother, because I played Lala 25 years ago.”

Dori Palchak, Hilton Head Island: “Sandra Dee in ‘Grease,’ because that’s one of my favorite movies.”
