So, yesterday was the last performance of She Loves Me. it turned out better than I expected. Not only did the cast a crew do a great job, but the audience loved the show. Truthfully, a lot of us were a little unsure whether it was going to turn out, but it did! ah the magic of theater. The stage was so hot, though, that when I took off my costume, there was a band of sweat where my belt had been on my dress. it was H-O-T hot. The poor audience.
This is also my last show. I loved being Ilona and I’ll miss her. It was a bit emotional for all the seniors and for our director, but I’m excited to be able to come back in years to come and see what other shows Marsha and Dennis do and how they do them.
I don’t know what else to really say except that theater is such a magical thing. It can transform shy kids into loud, wise-cracking characters. It can turn badly behaved kids into dedicated members of the cast. There are no words to describe what theater has done for me or what it will continue to do for other kids.
HEY! So we have been teching it up until about 11:00 at night. So, I am mundo tired. But there’s a dress rehearsal today and then the SHOW! So come and check out all of our hard work. The times are:
Friday, April 24 @ 7pm
Saturday, April 25 @ 2pm and 7pm
Sunday, April 26 @ 7pm
P.S. I’m sorry I haven’t been writing. We have been working too late, and I have been getting up too early to even check my e-mail. Thanks, tech rehearsals.
Also known as hell week is about to begin. It’s going to start in approximately two hours and nineteen minutes. I am excited about being with my friends until 10 o’clock and getting costumes and lighting and what not, but I am scared for my sanity.
Dear God, it’s me, Hailey. Please oh please, let me survive this week and get out of it alive, and with the knowledge that I did a good job. K, thanks.
Hey guys. So we’ve been rehearsing it. UP. And it’s going to get even more intense with the set and costumes and what have you. I’m a little off because I got into a pretty major car accident and totaled my car, so that shook me and my friend Jason (who’s George in the play) up.
Other than that, everything’s pretty good. I am just not getting my lyrics down. It’s kind of an awkward show in that there’s a lot of action going on that you might not be involved in, but you have to randomly say a line- which is hard for me. Plus I have a lot on my mind, which is kind of screwing me up mentally. Anyway, we’re starting spring break on Wednesday and I’m leaving for Los Angeles on Tuesday, so you guys won’t be hearing from me in a weak or so. So adios, muchachos!
Every year, more than 60 high schools across the Lower Hudson Valley present musicals. Some are all-school plays; others are for seniors only. This blog takes you along for the ride with a few student actors, sharing their after-school-theater lives on the way to Opening Night.
