Final Play!

It was the day that all of us were been waiting for. I was excited at the same time nervous. We did a prayer circle. At first we were panicking because the ‘manongs’ were still fixing the backdrop and the play is about to start. When the play started and the curtains were opened I was like in my head saying Oh My Gash. There were too many people and most of them weren’t from school. I can’t believe it was the play. When Anne was saying her line, my heart beat beated faster because I was going to say my line. I didn’t know I was so fast. When the curtains close I breathe out. Everything was all right. It was my time to go out and say another line. While Anne did it again my heart beat faster. I was very very fast than before. After we did it, I told Anne she missed one line of hers that’s why I didn’t get the chance to say my other line. Some were arguing at the backstage. Some were panicking on what to do next. There was a part where we took so long. We were thankful to the St. Catherine especially to Claire and Nicholai for doing an add leave. In that time they showed the value caring instead of competing. Everything was all right even though there were mistakes. I realized that helping others will make your heart soft. I was touched when they did it.

With COOPERATION leads to SUCCESS!

TDR!!!

We were all nervous because we didn’t get much to rehearse in the hall. I was like what wing should I go for this scene. I was all nervous not knowing what to do next. I memorized all of my lines except that when I’m nervous I tend to forget things. I was panicking even though it wasn’t the play but still we’re practicing it for the final play. I was also nervous because nobody will operate the music because Lisa was absent that time Sam and Issa have a role. I was happy because I did my best. One time I was like going to laugh in the part of Russell where she vomited. I controlled myself not to laugh and act my role. Some of my classmates at the backstage were panicking. I was like telling them calm. I know told them that we could do it. Some of the technical didn’t balance with the cast. After our TDR, we heard comments from the critic. She said good comments. She said about the music that it was a good choice. I was happy when I heard that. I was also happy because she said good thing about my costume. She also commented that I did my role very well. There was a funny part that I was like being the king because of my costume but turned out not. Everything was all right and we got a high grade –VS.

Rehearsal

This best part I love the most. Rehearsals for plays are what I love. During the rehearsal, I mostly joke around with my own role to my friends. Hehe... We had some fun. Even though I was tired and having some sort throat, I still practiced. One time I was like going to back out because I knew who the audience were and I’m so shy playing a guy role. During the rehearsals, I got to know more about Anne because she’s a new classmate of mine and our roles were mostly in the same scene. I also got to know more with my other ‘new’ classmates who weren’t my classmate last year. Sometimes I feel sad during the practices because others do backbiting. I also felt sad because others didn’t cooperate. Sometimes I felt happy because I was with my best friend, Celine, sometimes I joke around with her whenever I’m bored during the practices. I also helped the music people if ever it’s not yet my part. I got to go to the computer room to edit the music. Even though it was tiring, it was worth it. Some of my classmates keep on repeating my favourite line ‘March upon them....’ I always practice that line of mine and tried my best to have the loudest voice for that line of mine. Few days after I keep on practicing my voice I got sore throat. I was sad because I can’t rehearse my voice again unless it goes back to normal. Some of the practices we played. I like the workshop thing we did. We’re struggling to do our very best for the play.

Audition Time!!!

During that time some of us were excited to audition the part we want. Some were nervous because maybe they will be called and asked to play the part. I was one of those. Sir Guintivano called me to audition for the two male roles. I was hoping if I could just pass for now because I want to do music. My feelings were mixed. That time I really don’t know what to do. I was like asking myself should I get the part or just stay as music person. I was also sad if I didn’t audition because I want to try a new one. That new one is to get a part in CAE. As I observe my classmates some were still nervous, like Nikka she told me that I should go forward a bit so that she can’t be seen by the directors to let her audition. Some were shy but still they want a part in the play. While I was watching my classmates’ audition I was already commenting like this one is good for this part and also this one. That time I was nervous for the class who would get the part because most of them fit the character they auditioned. I was asking some of my classmates if who they think fit the role. For me most of them fit the role they auditioned. They were good to look at. When Sir told me to audition I was nervous because some classmates of mine were new. I was happy after I auditioned because I did my best at it. I realize that most of us were good at acting.

Preparation

During the preparation, we had a hard time finding what will be our play. First my classmate had an idea what will be our play but others said we should try something new. So we did. Alice said let’s try a musical play like the wicked. Some agreed about it. They message it on facebook to all St. Elizabeth and most of us agreed. We were like excited to play it. Later then we realize that it would be hard for others to do it because you need to sing all throughout. So we change the play and find some more. Few days later classmates of ours began sharing some plays. The stories they shared were interesting but the most interesting one was the Biblical story “One Night with the King” but we change the title to Esther. We all agreed and love the story. We all watch it together to know what our play would be like. After we watch it we were kind of nervous that it’s so long and maybe our audience will get bored. We were excited to play it out as we all know it’s the first Biblical play to present for so many years. I was like saying that would be awesome because we’re going to present a play that was never been performed by others. I was excited though because it will be us who will be the first one to play. We were all wondering how we are going to perform it. All of us were hoping that we can do it. All of us were wondering who will audition.
