True life is the most compelling story ever written. The thing is, you need to work to record it. That's why fiction is easy. - D. Tao

FEATURE: Backstage at Urinetown
Midland resident Trena Winans-Bagnall, 40, watches intently from backstage as she waits for her entrance Saturday during a dress rehearsal for "Urinetown the Musical," a production by Center Stage Theatre at the Midland Center for the Arts as a part of the competition Michigan AACTFest 2011. About 130 people from seven different acting companies around Michigan competed in the one-act play festival for the chance to move on to regionals in Columbus, Ohio in April. Winans-Bagnall, who plays Soupy Sue, said her character is a pregnant woman who is looking for a baby's daddy and kind of "out there." She said she enjoys playing the role because she and her character are both fun and kind of kooky. "You know, I'm a little silly too," laughed Winans-Bagnall, who is in her 15th year of community theater. "She's a bit more weird than I am though. I'll tell you though, this cast is a ball. Just getting out there on stage with everyone makes it all worth it at the end of the day — just a blast."
