I performed in the school play, "Arabian Nights", from Thursday Nov. 15th - Saturday Nov. 17th. The rehearsal process was extremely exhausting and overwhelming, but once we got to the performance days, everything came together. Getting makeup on was certainly an experience and by the end of the night, we all felt as though our faces were melting. Overall every night had a few slip-ups, but I think our best performance was on Friday night. Although we actually had a bigger audience on Saturday night, I think we were all a bit tired by then so we weren't at our absolute best. I certainly think my best performances as Amina and the Second Sister were much better on Friday. Lydia and I had so much fun being evil sisters, but on Friday Lydia fell down the stairs (and she's afraid of heights - yikes!) and my cape got caught on the steps. Overall I felt like I had a great experience doing the school play this year. I made wonderful friends and really bonded with people I've never talked to before. The relationships I formed are something I hope to have happen again next year. I'm also taking part in the Fringe Fest again this year. Luke Reid, Lydia Spilsbury and I are putting on a short 5 min play called "The Real Housewives of Shakespeare". We think it's going to be a lot of fun and we're all really excited. I'm adapting the play from a video I found on youtube, so technically I'm "writing" the script. There are 5 Shakespearian female characters that we're exploring. Lady Macbeth, Goneril, Titania, Juliet, and Gertrude will all make appearances. Auditions are Thursday and Friday! I'm excited to find our actresses. Yay!
