Peter Dacunha Interview

touring her song hit number one on the radio. From their she was famous and

After that song my daughter's fame was sealed, everyone knew my Aaliyah’s name. Now look at my daughter she’s writing songs for movies, right now she’s singing a song for Disney, Dr. Dolittle, and she got the part in, “Romeo must die.” I don’t know what my daughter can’t do. Even though there was that mishap with R.kelly and the marriage licence, i’m so very proud of my baby, my superstar but because Aaliyah is now a singer and actor.

I came into my audition only auditioning for the ensemble, leaving the audition I ended up receiving the titular role of Pippin. There was also a dance audition, where we were asked to learn the choreography to All that Jazz from the musical Chicago, this was a challenging experience because I have had no professional dance training but I ended up doing very well and responding well to the choreographer and her teachings. This whole process helped me to develop my confidence and social skills. The auditions were the most like professional auditions I’ve ever attended, and therefore allowed me to better understand what the real musical theatre industry is like and give me a taste of what it would be like if I continued onto large productions. I was very lucky to receive the lead role, as I didn’t even audition for it, despite not seeing this at the time. There was a long break between auditions and the beginning of rehearsals, almost three weeks. This seemed like a very long period of time due to not being able to tell any of my fellow cast mates that I had received a

How long have you been playing on the server?: I have only been playing on the J&H server since I saw the "Server Trailer" For the server, I fell in love with the old style of Hunger Games and Templerun.

I've always been exposed to music because my mom went to school for musical theatre. I've been singing since I was less than two, and I started singing in a church choir in first grade. The first time I ever truly performed was in second grade, when I sang "Tomorrow" from Annie for my entire school in a competition called "North Street Idol." I have no clue what possessed me to do it, because I was just about as quiet, shy, and anxious as they come. My teeth were literally chattering after I finished, and I went into a state of shock when I found out that I won. That was a major stepping stone towards the eventual realization of my purpose, because although I was scared beyond belief, I also sort of enjoyed it.

After they went around and she grew up she slowly formed a serious band which her family was incredibly happy about. Her

During the year of 1970, she moved to Los Angeles, California to get her singing profession started.

When I was growing up, I was fairly isolated. My dad was a repo man, and car lots aren’t the best places to meet kids your own age. I really had no friends, and I was surrounded by adults. So I discovered that I could make people laugh. I was really good at mimicking people, and that was something that always made everyone laugh. I was also an overweight kid. I actually joined TOPS (Take Off Pounds Sensibly) to help me lose weight, and I was literally the youngest member of the group. When I was around 10 or 11,

I would be the only fourth grader to attain a lead role featuring my own solo. It was an incredible feat because I never thought I could achieve the role against such tremendous competition. I was dedicated to performing perfectly spending hours rehearsing both in and out of school. From then on, I knew I could achieve anything as long as I had dedication and perseverance by my side. The following year, I went on to be Belle from Beauty and the Beast and when that spotlight was gleaming, I was at home. My directors, Ms. Qualshie and Mrs. Badillo, had been remarkable examples guiding me to be a cooperative team player. Every role had a purpose allowing us to work as a well-oiled

I participated in the Lion King Musical put on by D.C, Everest. My part was in the ensemble.

That’s a tough one! I think that my favorite role to play was also the most challenging role. I played a young woman requiring a serious, life threatening survey in the NBC’s upcoming series, Heartbeat. Unfortunately I can’t talk too much about it since it hasn’t come

I saw my first Broadway show at only seven years old and have seen over ten more since then, due to the fact I live only two hours away from New York City by train. I always enjoyed theatre, but I didn’t grow the deep love I have for it now until acting became a career option. I spent a week of the summer completely in the business world of theatre and came out knowing I had to be an actress. I dived into all things Broadway, bought as many albums as I could, watched as many interviews as possible, saved up to see more shows, but even with all of this love for

Please tell us something about your character on this show. What can we expect (without spoiling anything)?

So I auditioned for the show and ended up becoming one of the designers on the show.

I remember the crew... I LOVED everyone. I'm still friends with quite a few of them to this day. I also
