Advanced Acting Final

Happy Friday everybody!
Today was the day that I was supposed to be performing my Advanced Acting final, however, due to sickness, the people who were out for over a week get first dibs on the slots later in the week, so we got moved up 4 days. We performed our scene on Tuesday instead. For Finals this year, our teacher gave most of us very short one-act plays to perform. My group (Matt, Shannon, and I) recieved a 10-15 minute play walled, "Words, Words, Words" this play is about 3 monkeys who are part of an experiment and have to type until eventually, they produce Hamlet. There is a theorem called the "Infinite Monkey Theorem" that predicts if three monkeys type into infinity, they will produce Hamlet completely by chance. The play is a comedy, which I was not used to because if ever I were cast in a comedy I would probably laugh too much to perform it. Being moved up 4 days created a slight problem for us, but we adjusted and were able to successfully perform our final on Tuesday. My character, Swift, is based somewhat on the rebellious side of, "Puck" from Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream". Milton is based on a poet and author who penned, "Paradise Lost", and Kafka is based on a philosopher who said many things about women and also success.

The scenes went quite well on a whole. There was one other group who performed the same scene. They did it VERY well. If I had thought to video tape the two, I would have, but, alas, my video camera is missing and I didn't think of it.

Tonight is the 10th annual Academy Awards. The Academy awards is an award cerimony for the theatre department where different students are recognized for achievements and such. I will blog about it once it happens! Only 6 hours and counting!! We announce the musical as well as the season for next year tonight and I am extremely excited! I hope all of you had a great week! (better and less stressful than mine, for sure!)
Have a great Weekend!
Love,
