Damien Gulde has been on stages of all shapes, sizes and various states of repair and readiness since the age of 7 (which he hesitates to admit was actually in the 80's). He has had the chance to play some wildly diverse roles over the years. Favourites include; Romeo (Romeo and Juliet), Moonface Martin (Anything Goes), Jeffrey Dahmer (An Evening in Hell), and Rodney/Marshall/Percy (7 Stories)."I want to make magic..I want to breath fire on a stage... Not only does this song get stuck in my head for my travel home each day after rehearsal; I think it also encompasses the general attitude of this cast. Young, gorgeous, brimming with talent, and all looking for that opportunity to make magic."
Damien hopes that Mr. Myers will tap into this desire and challenge and inspire his students with the believable caring and likability of a teacher who remembers what it's like being a teenager.
"Beyond slap bracelets, Carebears, Adidas short-shorts, and a black Michael Jackson, the 80's were all about the future. Everything was modern, experimental...the 80's were about making that indelible mark of individuality on an indifferent world...that's the spirit of Fame right there."
Watch for Damien in FAME: The Musical opening Thursday June 24 at the Papermill Theatre. Tickets available at www.ticketweb.ca
