Adiós Auditions

So it looks like I'm not going to audition tonight after all. If I was cast, I would have to go down to Houston, like an hour away, each day after school untill September. If we lived closer to my Dad's work it would totally not be a problem. That's ok. I didn't know that rehearsals would go into the school year. I don't want some collage play to ruin my high school life. ORHS will have plays put on by people I know, with people I know. 

Anywho.... Today I got my hair cut and my eyebrows done. 

I was looking around online to see if anyone nearby was holding auditions, nothing my age group. It's all 18+ or 10-13. What are we 14-17 supposed to do?!?!? This world is awful. I did find the perfect job for when I turn 16. I could be a ticke taker at the cynthia woods mitchell pavilion. Then I realized I can't work Sundays and I would have to work nights, weekends, and holidays. WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY LIFE?!?? I can't win can I? *sigh* so close and yet so far away. Maybe they will let me have Sundays off? And mutual night too!

Coming Soon...

So for your information, today is Monday. On Wednesday, there are auditions at my day's school for a play. I'm super excited, but my mom has mixed feelings about it because lead rehearsals start the day we planed to leave for Illinois to visit my family up there. The whole point of the trip was for me to drive so I could get in all these hours I need for my license. 

Personally, I would drop anything to be in a play, considering that's what I want to do for the rest of my life. My mom not so much. If I get in that would be beautiful. I've been wanting to post stuff on this blog about theatre, but I was getting the feeling of I need school to start so I can do theatre. Plus it's one more show to put on my résumé!!!! 

I'd be happy with any role in this, but I really want a lead. Is that selfish? I know hardly anything about this play and I'm going to be auditioning against collage kids, adults, little kids. Most of them are probably going to be collage considering it's a collage production so maybe my age will be an advantage. 

Even thought I'm only fifteen, and an incoming sophomore at high school, people who don't know me think I'm an adult because of my height and personality (when you first meet me, I don't seem like a drama geek, I seem like your average teen girl, then I get crazy xp ) 

Got any advice? I could use some. Help me with the
 1. Trip vs. Theatre
 2. Boringness of my life
 3. Am I selfish?
 4. Collage vs. Me

Movie and Mall

MALL
So I went to the mall with one of my friends the other day. She lives up the street from me and I've known her for ever!!! I did waste all my money I had like $2 left.... In coins. I got a pair of super soft PJ's, 5 t-shirts, 2 pairs of closed toed shoes (because we have to have our toes coverd on stage *sigh*)   And a bracelet with matching earrings. I am very satisfied with my waste of money.

MOVIE
So, mi familia y yo (my family and I)  went to see the Lone Ranger.


***** BEWARE MINOR SPOILER ALERT*****







It kinda shocked me in the begging when Jonny Depp was so old. Actually, I don't know if it was him who played the old guy but they could have had really good makeup artists or something. Any way it was a really good movie it had a good ending, but it did seam kina cliche to me with the museum part and all, but that's just me. Also how was it a wax man come to life? Did they stuff his body and put it in a museum? That didn't make any sence to me. Also what's with the raven bird hat?



Over all, it's a wonderful movie I would recommend you see it. Happy ending. Only bad people die (which is depressing because no sadness emotion, and you don't connect to it the same way.) it sadly didn't make me cry, but it was a nail bitter, so yeah, still good movie. If I had to describe it in 3 words  they would be: Modern Old Western. If that makes any sense.


MALL (Again)
I went to the mall a second time with two of my friends from school that I hadn't hung out with all summer untill then. It was a lot of fun but I didn't buy anything except for a cookie. It cost $1.59 so I paied with exact change. Now all I have is a few pennies. I am a living definition of broke. Who needs a babysitter? I need a job!!

My summer so far...

Okay people I guess I will just tell you more about me!! Because every living person on this beautiful earth should!! At the. Beginning of summer I had a week off of doing nothing. I cleaned my room and prepared for youth conference and girls camp.

YOUTH CONFERENCE
It all started with the kick off dance. It was beautiful we had the whole gym, there was plenty of space to dance, loud music and every one NOT TIRED!! Then there was the service project. This year for youth conference we went and cleaned the temple grounds. I was expecting to be planting flowers and weeding, but no, we where putting down mulch and cleaning out the grounds behind the temple grounds. Don't ask. It was fun there was a hot guy from New Zealand there. Every girl was surrounding him until they found out he wasn't Mormon. He came with one of his friends. Me and my groupies still hung out with him though. The next day was really stupid games. When I say really stupid I mean really really stupid. We had real life angry birds and real life battleship. Then there was the parachute game and the next to last group broke the parachute. I was in the next to last group. It was not me who broke it!!! The last day was just a bunch of devotionals that you had to come in church dress for with another dance. The devotionals where all okay except they had one in the gym on the hard chairs and it was absolutely freezzzzing!!! We even got up and changed the thermostat, but they just turned it back down. Even the guys where shivering in their suits. The dance was church dress too so it wasn't half as good. Plus they closed off half the gym and everyone was tripping over each other and we where all hot and sweaty in our church clothes.

HIGH ADVENTURE
It was my forth year offing to camp and all us 4th years got to go on high adventure!!! We went to
Galveston. So on the Monday after youth conference, we left, set up camp, and gots to know each
others. The next day we went to the beach and went kayaking. That night we had a failure of a devotional and the next morning we packed up and went to camp.

GIRLS CAMP
Camp is a beautiful place where you sing songs, make friendship bracelets, and claim you've done all the things your supposed to check off in the camp book. All us forth years just hung out at my friends campsite and drank grape soda and ate s'mores. I discovered how much I love grape soda at camp this  year. I really love grape soda. I can't even explain it. Hummmm. It is like heaven in earth with the perfect amount of fizz, tons of sugar and to top it off, grape flavor! Perfection. Anywho, we cannoed in the lake, swam in the pool, went night swimming in the pool, ate lots of food, I DID NOT GET SICK THIS YEAR!!! (I have gotten sick every single year except this one because I actually drank water. And soda. But that's not the point.) So I used to snore, I think I still do, and now I apparently talk in my sleep too.... My future hubby is just going to love all the noise I make.

ROAD TRIP

So the day I got back to camp, I found out I was going on a road trip to DC. with my Jaja (grandma) To help my aunt move. I packed up everything I needed and basically disappeared off the face of the earth to the friends I had been hanging with for the past two weeks at camp and youth conference. At least I had my phone so I could text them. (No electronics at camp.) Anywho, we spent forever getting up there and forever coming back. Plus there was the two days in between where we packed up all the stuff my aunts "partner" should have had already packed up. (My aunt is lesbian). By the time I got home, I was ready to just relax. 3 weeks on end away from home, that can stress some one out easy. But no that's not all!!

NEW BRAUNSFELS

When I got back I had about a week where I relaxed at home befor Jaja and another one of my aunts decided we where going to go to New Braunsfels to go river rafting. So Jaja picked me and my brothers up and we met my aunt there. (Ok so Jaja and Papa are my Dad's mom and step dad, my grandparents, they live super close to us and this particular aunt lives in Austin. Also on my Dad's side is my lesbian aunt in San Antonio. And another aunt in Africa, who is sending her daughter, my cousin, to live with us in August. My mom's side will come later.) Back to the story. So we went rafting, swam in the hotel pool, ate dinner, went shopping (I got a super cutie shirt that says "be inspiring"), swam in the pool, slept. Wake up, swim, pack, leave, lunch, car drive. 

EVER SINCE

Basically my whole summer has been excursions (I learned that word from Spanish class... Ironic). The reason we left New Braunsfels so early was because I had an ortho appointment that I couldn't re-schedule because I had already rescheduled because of DC. Plus I was super looking forward to it because I WAS GETING MY BRACES OFF!! And guess who got their braces off that day? MEEEEEER!!! A few days later, I got my retainer (that I thankfully only have to wear at night) and the day after that I took the drivers Ed test and got my LEARNERS PERMIT!!! I barely passed the test with a 76.6 but hey, I passed and considering I didn't even study, I did good. 

I am a very happy braces-less, permit holding, theatrical blogger.

Welcome to Me!!

Hi. My name is Klare MacTavish. I am a Drama Geek. I act. I'm going to be a sophomore at Oak Ridge High Skool.  This blog isn't going to just be about theatre though its going to be all about my life!!! You get to experience the inner workings of my brain!!

A few things you should know about my family: My parents are teachers. My mom teaches special Ed. and my dad teaches film. He is a cinematographer (the guy behind the camera). I've been in a few movies and commercials as background. I have two younger brothers (who are extremely annoying) and my cousin is coming to live with us.

I love the stage. I played Annie in Annie at the YMCA when I was about 10 or so. More recently, I was Veruca Salt in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Kate the Shrew in A Merry Regiment of Women. I was also a little girl in Cinderella.

I'm hoping that this upcoming year I will be in more shows because I'm still going to be there. I can just here the upperclassmen thinking "what's that one still doing here?" Yes even in theatre there are outcasts.

Anywho, this up coming year at ORHS we will be doing musicals!!! Yayaayaya!!!! I have been taking voice lessons with a really nice lady from church. (I'm LDS). My vocal range is G3 to G5 if you where wondering.

I have some musical experience with taking voice and I also played flute... And guitar... And piano... And chior...But that's not the point. The point is I have a general idea of what I'm talking about when it comes to music.

Dance, not so much. I took tap, jazz and balle at a company near where I live when I was little. I'm in swing club and I know a few line dances plus I dance around to music when I'm at home alone. Other than that I have no clue about dance.

Back to the Theatre. Lost my train of thought. Oh well. If I mention something strange let me know and I will update "ya'll".
