Welcome to Gaia! ::

I'm usually a verious serious, stern person, but theatre always brings out my inner fun. I just can't hide what's inside! whee

On a related note, I've just used theatre to *hopefully* get a girlfriend;

In english, we are about to start reading Romeo & Juliet. Because my english teacher likes me so much (I'm a HUGE teacher's pet!), I was able to talk him into letting me cast it for our class (unfortunately only reading, though, no acting)! If you haven't already figured it out, I've casted myself as Romeo, and a girl I've admired (very noticeably, by most, I might add) as Juliet! heart
Corny, I know, but I myself find it romantic, and I think she might too... 4laugh

Yay for theatre!


By the way, I apologize for the many parentheses in that paragraph... sweatdrop

Aww that's soo cute! That's like me i=this January we are doing MidsummerNight'd Deam and I hope to get Helena and I hope this guy I had puppy love with get's Demitrius heart

It usually brightens my day, unless my theatre teacher is yelling at me about something that's out of my control. She's a great teacher, but she has a habit of expecting us to basically know everything without telling us just because we're an audition only class, so then we get yelled at >>

But all the people are fun, and we all know one another really we because we spend at least two hours with eachother on a daily basis.

One of my favorite moments was we just finished up Grease, and one of my best friends got the part of Doody, who sings Magic Changes which is my favorite song in the show. Even though he had a really hard time singing it, I just always smiled whenever we did that song.

I have a lot of good memories associated with theatre though.

In rehearsals, our choreographer was demonstrating a new dance pattern, and she fell in the orchastra pit.

I can TOTALLY relate to this paragraph;

So when we have our after school rehearsals, as soon as I step into the rehearsal room, my spirit lifts. Like, I would be totally depressed and crying when I was walking to the rehearsal room, but as soon as I step in, I would start to smile. Not a fake smile that you give to acquaintances, but a real and true smile. just the atmosphere. The lights, the music, the people, the costumes, the plot, the story, the actors and actresses!

I started officially doing theatre (by 'officially I mean I've been in every school play for the past three years) in 7th grade. Where I live, that's your first year of Junior High, and I'm a 9th grader now, so NEXT year I go to the High School. It's totally changed my life and me as a person:

In sixth and seventh grade, I was the shyest girl you'd ever meet. I was bad at socializing and I only had a few close friends. I was also depressed a lot of the time; not medically, but emotionally.
Then I tried out for the school play, and got one of the two smallest parts. Then in the spring I got one of the smallest parts AGAIN, and in 8th grade, in both plays, I got very small parts as well.

Now 'm in ninth grade. The auditions for the fall play were a couple of weeks ago, and the cast list was posted this Tuesday. I got in and guess what?

I GOT THE FEMALE LEAD!

I was in shock for quite a while. Official rehearsals start next week!
ALSO I have three kisses in the play, and I've never kissed anyone in my life, onstage or off.

And these are NOT stage kisses or pecks on the cheek.
So...I'll see how that goes... sweatdrop

Also, I'm a lot more social and generally happy now (now meaning since mid-eighth grade). I STILL don't have a boyfriend, which I wish would change, but what can you do?

And that's the story of me plus theatre.

Oh God...the Pancakes...Well, I did a summer acting class this past summer. It was heavy on improv, and one of our improv games was "Beginning-Middle-End", where three people would begin a scene, three more would continue, and the last group of three would end it. I was in a group that began it, so we got to decide the plot, etc. The idea we went with was that I heard voices, this other girl, Alaina, was my voices, and the other two girls were nurses. The scene starts, and after a while, my voices whispers "I like pancakes". And so I keep babbling about pancakes. By the end of the scene, we had a guy laying on the floor screaming "PANCAKES!" and batting his hands at the air, and two girls arguing about whether there are pancakes at IHOP. Scene ends with everyone running away but the voices, who said "Pancakes; they're everywhere".
