Some Girls Q&A
posted by Nick Martinez
Some Girl(s) opens Oct. 17, so Jackalope sat down with two of its leads, senior Jade Scott Lewis and senior Shenyse Harris, to discuss the show, playing unlikable characters and favorite recreational activities. Jackalope Magazine: Tell us a little bit about Some Girl(s). Jade Scott Lewis: It’s a show done in four scenes. Each scene contains the main protagonist named Guy, who interacts with one of his ex-girlfriends. So there’s only two actors on stage at a time. The show is about a writer who goes off in search of something, searching for some kind of connection. He’s foraging and looking for something interesting in each relationship. Shenyse Harris: What’s really interesting is that each scene is completely different. Each of the four girls reflects a different time that he was living in. It’s a lot of fun. JM: Shenyse, tell us a little about your character. SH: Each girl, Some Girl, shares once scene with Guy. My character’s name is Tyler, she is an art student. Tyler is very into herself, she’s a very strong headed, emotional person who tries logic, but can let her emotion get in the way. Because of that she acts as though those things don’t affect her. JSL: And she’s raunchy, and sexual, and she likes drugs. SH: Thank you, Jade. (laughs) Yeah, she is very raunchy, very sexual. I wouldn’t even say raunchy, she’s very blunt and open about her sexuality, she’s very comfortable in her own skin. She’s out there, if you ask Tyler to do anything, if you’re like ‘hey Tyler, let’s go streaking,’ she’ll be the first one with her clothes off. But, she’s also very guarded. She definitely uses her openness as a defense mechanism to hide the melancholy of who she really is....
