Comedy Tonight-

Outside of class, I have been working on the school's spring theater production. I have been working with the cast and crew on the performance for several months in preparation for putting this show on. The show is a mix of skits written by members of the CA community, including myself, and musical numbers from a variety of different sources. My job for this performance was to sing in the ensemble, direct and write one of the skits, and act in several other skits. All of us worked really hard to put on a great show and  I think that all our hard work paid off.
Most of the performers in the cast and crew were returning to drama, as they had worked on previous shows at school before, but many of the people were trying out new roles, like being actors, directors, writers, and crew members. I was one of those people, as I have never written or directed any kind of performance that was outside of Literature and Performance class, let alone in front of an audience of about 100 people! I am extremely exited to say that I think that it went well, as the audience was laughing so hard that I could hear them backstage. All the other skits also got a lot of laughs and the audiences loved it both nights.
We also had very few significant bumps, yet the three big ones we had all, coincidentally, involved me. The first was that one of the actors in one of the skits that I was in forgot to come out on stage in the beginning of the scene, so that when the narrator of the documentary in the skit made several references to him, despite him not being there. He did come out at the perfect time, so I didn't need to talk to the air. I also accidentally came out at the wrong time for a scene change and ended up having to be in a, thankfully, short scene between two aliens. One of the other actresses was sick and could not go on during one of her scenes, so I had to go on in her place and read her lines from a clipboard, because I had never read the script and had rarely saw the scene. It went well, as I was proud of my performance, read all the lines correctly, and even got some laughs along the way.
I loved being in all three plays this year and can't wait for the next one, but now I have more time to focus on my final performance for class, which I also love doing.
