Networks Blog Stories Nr. 19: Reyna Sánchez

Time for Blog Story Number 19, filled with the theatre memories of Reyna Sánchez. She is no longer active as an actress but Networks Theatre clearly means a lot to her!

1. What’s your name? Reyna Sánchez

2. Did/Do you have a Networks name? Amy

3. How many shows have you appeared in? 6

4. Name them! Flight, Dracula, Peter Pan, Romeo & Juliet, Robin Hood II: The Prince Strikes Back, Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs.

5. What was your first show? Flight

6. What are your earliest memories of the shows? I felt very important when Nick suggested to me to do Flight, because I thought that taking part in a show was an honour for a student, but I was also a bit sad because of my shyness.

7. A) What is your earliest memory of Nick? I was used to his shouts, because he was my teacher, but in rehearsals he shouted even more (if possible). Sometimes he went home with his face red, but the next day, he returned happy again.

B) What is your favourite memory of Nick? He had a lot of patience with me, and he always said to the cast how sorry he was about his anger.

C) What is your scariest memory of Nick? I cannot choose just one :S... but I think once, when I was speaking in the small room and another when I was a dancer and he told me to smile while dancing, but I couldn't so he started shouting, and he kept shouting at me a whole week, until I managed to do what he wanted, and he congratulated me.

8. What has been your favourite show to date? Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs, because my shyness had disappeared.

9. Do you have a favourite moment in a show or memorable moment in rehearsal? After the last show, (my favourite one) I even cried, because it was my birthday and the dancers had invented a special song for me. I knew it was going to be my last show, and I was sad, but I also felt that I had never been so happy and free on stage.

10. What is your favourite photograph of any production? I like almost all of them, but I really like the photo of the dancers in Snow White.

11. Are there any ideas you’d like to give Nick when he’s planning productions. Stories or subjects that you think might make good shows? I think 'Pride and Prejudice' would be amazing if Nick directed it. Any film or show turns out incredible in Nick's hands!!!

12. Finally: can you sum up Networks Theatre in one word? UNIQUE
