Drama part 2

Well, it's started again. Drama class!

Today was my first day of school, and it actually went really well. I mean, for being school and everything. But that also means today was the first day of drama class. I have literally been waiting for this day for months. I was so excited. So, we got our script today and just talked about the play and whatnot (This year we're doing The Princess Bride. I KNOW RIGHT?!) And THEN she dropped the bomb on us.

We're going to be in an actual theater this year.

WHAT!!!!!!!

Bear with me for a minute, because I'm FLIPPING out.

The past two years our performances have taken place at Eastside Church in Milford. It's a really nice church and has a great stage. And it has served us very well the past couple years. But, we're on to bigger and better things. This theater (although I can't remember the name at the moment) has so much cool stuff I can't even wrap my head around it.

A) Curtains. Okay, this may not seem that exciting, but Eastside has no curtains, and this theater has 3. EEEPPP!!!!

B) Dressing rooms! One for girls, one for boys. Both equipped with lockers. No more changing in the bathrooms across church! YAY!

C)A green room. A small one, but a green room nonetheless.

D) Mirrors. Like, fancy ones! With the lightbulbs around them! And there's at least 10 mirrors! I'd say this is a step up from doing makeup in the hallway with little handheld mirrors.

E) Fancy lighting!The lighting at Eastside is good too, but not this good. There were a couple spots right in front of the stage where lights were missing and you could not be seen, so you were never allowed to stand in those spots. Now we don't have to worry about that!

F) Z racks. Like, for costumes? I don't know much about that, but our costume director was freaking out, so I guess it's pretty exciting.

So.... yeah.... I cannot wait. Oh, and in regards to my character, auditions aren't until next week, so I don't know yet. At this point my top four choices are 1. Buttercup, 2. Valerie (Miracle Max's wife) 3. Vizzini (It's a guy's part, I know, but I don't even care) 4. Countess (Count Rugen's wife who hatches evil plots.)

WOOH!
Wish me luck with auditions! I can't wait!
