Academy Awards and The Clear

I have two things to talk about!!

the first thing I would like to talk about is the Academy Awards. These took place on Friday, June 12th. We have these theatre awards at my High School. They're basically to celebrate the seniors' accomplishments, but, the underclassmen get tons of awards as well. Everyone dresses up, and it's wonderful. We're all formal and everything. It's a very fun time. One of the best night ever. The night started off with all of the directors speaking and telling us how awesome we are, yadda yadda. We gave out the "Fan of the Year" award to a well-deserving individual. They gave out a $200 scholarship, they talked about the TAMY awards, they recognized everyone who was in the "all-star cast" for the MHSDG drama festival, Matt and Andrew gave the honor of being Improv Troupe President to Mark and Rachel. That was coolio. Then they announced the Theatre Board members (not me), Gave out a bunch of achievement awards and then announced the nominees for the following categories:
Best Black Box Performance
Best Supporting Actor
Best Supporting Actress
Best Musical Actor
Best Musical Actress
Best Featured Performer (I was nominated for my solo in Seasons of Love)
Best Theatrical Design
Best Direction
Best Performance by an Actor
Best Performance by an Actress
Then there was an intermission during which people voted on the above categories. The winners were all very much deserved :) I lost to a wonderful performer, who deserved it like, 10000 times more than I did! Congrats Ashlinn!!
Tara got an Unsung Hero award :) Then there were a TON of other awards that I don't feel like naming beause I don't know who won them haha
The season for next year was announced then! Our Musical is... *drum roll* SWEENEY TODD. Omigod, I'm so fricking excited. Alright, then we are also performing Catholic School Girls, Chamber Music as our competition play, and Live at the Coconut Grove- Written by Dr. Luke Jorgensen. Best night ever. I love the Academy Awards :)

The Clear!
So, this is part two of my blog today.
The Clear is a movie that is to be filmed in late August and is being released like, the summer after? Anyway, it is about Werewolves. Imagine Twilight- only with Werewolves. You have "the Clear". It is really funny, though. That is the only difference and the main characters are a bit different. All the same, it definitely appeals to the Twilight fans out there. I auditioned for the Clear on Saturday, June 20th with Tara, Hannah, and Caleb. We had a wonderful time. We got there at 12pm. There wasn't a huge line and Jerad had already gotten there (someone we expected to see from school) So, we signed in and were given numbers (I was number 14) and we waited for a VERY long time. It took 4 hours for them to get to any of us, so, that was fun. We occupied our time by dumping out Hanhah's bag and trying to make a game out of the contents of it, looking at the attractive boys, and playing ten fingers. Then, we were called up by number (after the union actors because they're special) and we were with groups of people who we didn't know (except I was with Caleb and then Matt, who is friends with Jerad) We did a screen test or two, and then we were pretty much set free. We were all emailed saying that we would hear back from them in 2 weeks, so, that should be nice :) They made a video from the Auditions. Click HERE to watch it!!
Hope you're all having a wonderful week.
Today was the last time I'll ever have to think about chemistry again. I get out of school tomorrow! woohoo!!
Enjoy the rest of your week!
Love,
Bri :D
