Judge it!

Hey guys!! Long time no see.

So first of all I'll start with the play. I WAS CAST!!! As background. All I do is sing and dance (badly) and sit in the audience and do nothing during rehearsals. :) kind of depressed about it. That's okay. I'll live.

On a more positive side, my girls pulled it together for the scene. I turned in my director's binder, compleat and on time :) The scene turned out, not badly the day we preformed. They had their lines and blocking down pat. I guess I messed up because the characters had no "relationship." Oh well.

I spent all day yesterday at the school, 6AM to 8PM, judging Junior high students in theatre related...stuff.  That was such an amazing experience. I saw myself in a lot of these kids, and even though I had never seen any of them before, I felt as if I knew most of them. If I have another chance to do something like this again, I absolutely will. A lot of the time it was hard to chose the places of a few people, and I would question myself on ranking an uninteresting piece over another because of a minor acting issue.

The last subject I judged was Novice Solo Impov. All the kids where really loud and I was tired, I ranked a girl who had gone over the time limit 1st even though her piece wasn't quite as good as the one I placed 2nd. It was still cutie and funny, but it probably deserved 2nd place. Because it went over the time, I placed it 1st hoping it could still get 2nd place, I think it might have been disqualified though. I would hate for that to happen. The only reason it went over was because the actor took a long time to get prepared.  I hope I did the right thing... What do you think?
