Janelle St. James

Columbia was pretty much made for me, if you ask me. 

Good thing I am asking, then! Heck yes! Columbia it is, Ms. Crawford, and I will definitely be looking forward to working with you again!

I’d be okay with either Brad or Rocky! However, I did see Sir Elliot requesting Dr. Frank-N-Furter and I have to agree that he has the look more than I do! So I’m fine with either role, just whichever you think I’d fit better in. ❤ I’m so excited to work with you too! I can’t wait to get to act this out with such a talented group of people!

This is coming together so nicely, I legit could not be more excited. I think you’d be excellent in the role of one Mr. Brad Majors, if you’d be so kind as to step into the role! 

Not to pull the Starchild card, but I could bring some real star power life to Frank-N-Furter. I can hit up my social media to get seats filled too.

Oh Elliott, of course! I haven’t had anyone request the role yet, so as far as I’m concerned it’s all yours! Now tell me gorgeous, do you have the costume covered or would you like to use the Drama Club’s? That is a magnificent offer, one I’ll take you up on if you’re willing! Either way, it’ll be an incredible production! You are fabulous, dear, truly! I’m looking forward to working with you again, Elliott.

Hi, Miss! I’d be very interested in joining the shadow-cast. I won’t list a specific role, so you can put me in whatever slot you feel I fit the best in. Will there be auditions? If so, what day and time?

I’m so excited we’re following the age old tradition of shadow-casting RHPS!

Howdy-ho, Ranger Joe! Super stoked to see you responded, I’ve been looking forward to getting to work with you! You know that, we’ve talked about it, but it’s happening and I’m pumped! We aren’t doing auditions in particular, this time around, really because of the short notice. Are there any roles you’re interested in particularly? I could see a Brad, maybe even a Rocky. Dr. Frank-N-Furter, if I use my imagination. What say you, Blaine?

ME TOO! This is going to be incredible, I can already tell!

Hello Miss! I can’t tell you how happy I am to hear that this show is being done. One of my favorite things was seeing shadow casts in college. If you’re still looking for the cast I would love to be Magenta or I could also do Columbia! 

Magenta works, we can definitely put you to work in that role. I’m pretty pumped myself, this is going to be excellent. It looks like, for the most part we are going to have to have the staff take over most of the roles, but I think no matter what it’ll be a blast!

This weekend, the Daltons will be hosting another of their now famous movie events! As if that weren’t exciting enough, one of these wonderful movies will be the classic, amazing, hair-raising cult classic Rocky Horror Picture Show! As many of you may know, it is common for this particular film to be shown in conjunction with what we in the biz call a shadow cast. Now, those of you who were not aware of this tradition may be asking, “But Janelle, what is a shadow cast?” Good thing I’m ready to spill those beans! A shadow cast is a cast of thespians who perform the events of the movie, action-by-action, play-by-play, costume and set changes and all, while essentially mouthing the words of the actors as the movie plays alongside the stage! This means that these parts would be excellent for anyone who is interested in physical performing! You will still need to memorize the lines of the character you’re portraying, but as far as speaking goes you’re off the hook! So, that being said, anyone interested in participating, and taking on one of these classic roles, please please please do not hesitate to come and speak with me! I just know this is going to be so much fun! Below I will leave a list of the primary roles we’re looking to cast here! I’m looking forward to getting things rocking, and with getting this production put together for all to enjoy! 

Marley: It is, but I need to be taking accountability for my roles in conflict. I think things went well. I get nervous around them because I don’t wanna say the wrong thing but thats an issue with me personally not them. I want to have a family… I want a lot of things to be honest but ill start with mending what I broke. What other questions can I answer for you Miss Jay?

Marley: We’ll have to have tea or coffee to talk about you sometime. Youre very funny Miss Jay. I know you ask harder questions, well, I had lunch with Reg and Dorsey. We’re making steps, I have a lot to apologize for and I need to properly get to know both Dorsey and Reg. It takes time, I want to do it on their time and terms as well. 

Marley: Hi Miss Jay! I’m okay, trying to find my footing after vacation and gearing up to start a Halloween based sewing activity for club! How are you miss Jay?

Hello, Miss St. James! Thank you so much for the welcome. I’m really enjoying it so far! I’m finally starting to learn my way around, and I’ve loved the events thus far.

They have, yes. I’ll definitely be there. I’m very excited to audition for the next production, I’m just disappointed I missed Cinderella! I would have loved to at least been in attendance. I bet it was an amazing show anyhow, there’s so much talent here. 

Thank you so much! I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day!

Of course of course! I’m glad to hear you’re settling in well, that’s an important thing!

Fantastic, I definitely look forward to working with you. I’m sure you know your brother, Cooper, also helps out with the Drama Club. Cinderella went swimmingly, I was so proud of everyone. But, never fear! I’m positive our next production will be just as awesome! You’re super correct about that, though! This place is just overflowing with talent! Glad to add you to the ranks!

No problem! I’m sure we’ll see each other around! Have a groovy day yourself!

Hey there, I suppose I should introduce myself and go from there.

My name is Kurt Hummel, I’m a dominant and a fashion designer and came here from living in New York. If you are a submissive I expect you to address me as sir, if you are a dominant I am fine answering to Kurt.

I will get a couple things out of the way right now. Yes, I am a resident. No, I will not give a detailed explanation as to why, that is my business. Though, I am sure your favorite gossip magazine will have some theories that they will pose as true in their next issue.

If you have any questions on anything else, I will be more than happy to oblige you.

Always cool to meet a new resident! My name is Janelle St. James, I’m one of the counselors here, and the Director of the Drama Club. Be sure to let me know if you need anything! Definitely a plus to have a designer in our midst! I bow, I bow! Anyway, looking forward to working with you!

Hello!

My name is Blaine Anderson, and I’m a new submissive resident at the Sanctuary. 

I’m originally from Westerville, Ohio, but I lived in Lima for a short time during high school. 

I just graduated from KSU with a Bachelor’s in Musical Theater, and now I’m back in Lima to attend classes at the Sanctuary to expand my knowledge about my role in society.

Hi, hello, how do you do? Psyched to meet you, Blaine Anderson! I can definitely see the family resemblance. I am the one, the only, Janelle St. James- counselor, and Drama Club Director extraordinaire! Welcome to our lovely little family, I know you’re going to enjoy your stay! It’s great that you’re interested in theater- I can see a couple of peeps have already directed you towards yours truly! I’m beginning to set the stage (so-to-speak) for our next big production! Once everything is announced, I’ll hope to see you there! If you need anything between now and then however, I am still around!

I already miss this place, but that’s the rub with vacations, innit. I’m usually a night owl, but I don’t hate the Florida heat. Or laying out on the beach. For those of you that don’t know me, my name is Emerson Crawford and I teach the three core dominance classes. Here to lead the leaders, and all that jazz.

Cool to meet you, Emerson! I had heard we’d have a new staff member joining us for this trip, so it’s awesome to finally meet you! I’m Janelle St. James, Switch, Counselor, Drama Club leader, also fairy godmother in my off-hours. Kidding, kidding, Anywhozit, if you need anything just give a shout! Welcome to the Dalton Staff family!

Mia: You're very welcome Janelle. Mhmmm, maybe that was my goal gorgeous.

Mia: Of course you may. I suspect you may be in need, but I didn't want to distract you too much this week.

Janelle: You are the best, Miss. I've got to make sure you know that. Those words again, Miss. You are so incredibly beautiful.

Janelle: /Miss/. Thank you so much for the flowers, and for the most amazing note I literally could have asked for. You are such an angel, Miss. You make me feel like the luckiest lady alive.
