I am supper happy!!!! Auditions went great and I got my first to choice for both parts!! I cant wait till next class so I can meet them officially, start blocking and all that jazz. Now back to me. I know I like acting, and I dislike tech, but I've never tried directing before. I think I'll like it a lot. Not only will I be able to act as the characters, but I can act as my actors... does that make any sense? Probably not. *sigh*
Oh well! My cousin was advising me to talk to my teacher and get his take on it. Maybe even follow the director around next show and learn by watching her do her job. I think she's jumping the gun. I've never even directed before and have no idea if I will like it at all. I thought I would enjoy tech, but when I joined, I absolutely despised it. I don't want to go to my teacher and say. "I want to direct let me follow you around" then turn around and say "Sorry but I changed my mind I hate directing." One it would make me look bad and two it would make me feel stupid.............
In conclusion, (goodness this is just like an expository essay) I think I'll

That was fast
Welllll, the show is over. Tears. Oh well now its time to focus on school and who am I kidding? I miss being in a show. I cant wait for South Pacific. Who knows when that will be. Not even people in The Miracle Worker know when its going to be over and we have to wait to finish one show before we can start another. At least I have theatre class... every other day!!! Sometimes I absolutely hate this block schedule nonsense. At least I have two days to do homework.
We are going to start Directing tomorrow. Maybe I'll enjoy that. I'm doing a scene from W;t. the semicolon and all. Its a play about this old lady who is dying from cancer. I guess old is an exaggeration. She's a few years older than 50. An English Doctorate who's obsessed with wit. She just so happens to be a collage professor. I don't know why I chose to do it, first scene I read I actually enjoyed. Its the scene where she finds out she's not going to survive the cancer and if she has a heart attack, she wants them to just let her dye. Pretty intense if I dare say so myself. I think it should be an interesting experience.
Speaking of experience, I've been able to see lots of directing techniques everyone form my father on up. I think the kind of director I like most is someone who is positive, but firm. Someone who is on the same page as the actor but likes to try different things. Experiment. That's who I want to be when it comes to directing someone who's more like a leader than a dictator.
My dad an my theatre teacher this year are kind of in that dictator role too. Maybe even the director from Rapunzel. Not that they are evil people. I genuinely like all three of those people, but just the way they direct is kind of controlling. They tell you what to do and how to do it. Little creativity was allowed with the
My Junior High theater teacher was a very easy going director. She allowed her students a certain freedom to discover things for themselves. My freshman theatre teacher and the co-director in Rapunzel. They all would trust you to use creativity and make the show better.

Prince
GUESS WHAT!!!!
Last night's audition went so well!! I not only got a part, I got a lead!!!! I will be playing the prince. I don't have too many lines and we've all ready gone over the blocking and our lines.... twice. And it was only the first rehearsal. There's this one part where we play charades and I'm having a little trouble remembering the lines, but other than that I should be good.
Tomorrow, we will be learning two songs since Rapunzel is a musical. I wont have a solo so no one will be able to distinguish this alto-soprano voice that just so happens to be playing the prince. I do have my doubts about playing a guy but it should be an interesting experience. That's why I auditioned. For experience!
Besides my report on my role I must say I was very social and made lots of friends. No cell phone numbers yet, but the "beginning of a great acquaintanceship"(Lion King 1/2) I think that's how the quote goes. Forgive me Disney if I've insulted you.
As of right now, this moment in history, I am one happy camper!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
