Mr. Teacher

I've been thinking about the teacher character and I think I understand him a little better.

I've definitely decided on having him be a male.  I feel like for my male lead, having a male role model figure would make more sense because guys have a stronger relationship with other guys.  Additionally, because of how laid back conversations with guys are, their conversations would create comedic scenes for the audience to enjoy when they are not engrossed in the main boy's self-discovery. 

I know that I want him to be about middle-aged, so I'll make his age a generous 30-40.  I want him to be on the younger range of teacher ages so he can relate to the main boy, but still old enough to give him advice. 

I know I want him to have some elements of purple in his costume to be mysterious; I also think he should have some red coloration to show that he plays opposite of the main boy (red is opposite of green on the color wheel). 

When I envision a male teacher, I see a button-up shirt, slacks, and dress shoes.  Perhaps the teacher could wear a light purple shirt and a dark purple tie with a red pin on the tie. I definitely see black pants and shoes for him as well.  

I don't have a paper with me now to sketch an image of him, but I will upload one tomorrow. 

I'm about to perform my opening night of Mamma Mia! So hopefully all goes as planned!
