Tom Sawyer

So i just got home from a magical theater expirence that livened the heart and heightened the spirits... oh and got my socks wet. theyre soaked. :(
but in case you are too gay to know im in advanced theater at school and basically our curriculum is a childrens theater program. and ta-da! 6th period was granted the huge gift of the adventures of tom sawyer.... allright so maybe it wasnt quite so prestigious but whatever. it feels nice to play it up. our young flagrant tomas sayer is played by sweet christopher (i dont get why parents spell that name that way at all btw...)
me on the other hand well.... thats another story. im cousin mary. and yea thats about it. no need to further explain.
we had the wolverine walk today and instead of running free like um running birds as our smart student body us dedicated budding thespians stayed all day to work on the play (well some of us did..). we got to scene 3... whatever we'll keep our finger crossed :) but ill leave you with another list

Things to Expect and Embrace in Tom Sawyer & the LHS Theatrical Department

1. Rehersals just aren't as fun as the sound.... and they dont even sound fun. really its just a bunch of high schoolers sitting around eating and teasing each other oh and then theres mrs hughes running around with her head cut off... shes the big dog in these productions shes the girl with the plan... just dont expect the plan to be on time
2. blocking really is up to you for the most part if you dont have a memorab;e characcter
3. expect to make your own set... half the kids there dont care whether or not you have walls so be prepared to make them yourself. if ya want things done do them yourself
4. oh and the talks... whew lemme tell ya! its pretty much guarenteed she will call everyone together at least once a rehersal for a cast/crew talk. they are varied and sometimes entertaining. so far ive witnessed the memorized your lines talk, the be responsible talk, the schedule talk, the motivational talk, the devolopmental talk, the time scrunch talk, and the we should be freaking out talk. each has been equally as welllll wordly as the other
5. youre going to be asked to do some pretty strange things. face it. when asked to fake a sword fight with an imaginary pirate dont wonder why just do it. the explination isnt worth it. ditto with hauling buckets of water like some cowmaid from foreveragoland. the fog machine thriller gostly blue bucket speil.... wast of time

welll thats all for now... we were lucky and got out at 4 today. hope well break a leg or two for the performances in two weeks

:DDDDDD
