Let's talk Macbeth.

Today was the last performance of Macbeth *SOB*. It was most definately the best production I have ever been in. Both Lady Macbeths (Lady Macbeth, Lady Macduff, and Macbeth were all double casted) were newbies and they were AMAZING! The witches stole the show. Of course. ;) Ben (Tybalt in R&J) and Tyler (Mercutio in R&J and Bottom in Dream) were AMAZING Macbeths. Erica and Tess were awesome Lady Macbeth's and I can't wait to see what they do next year. Jess (Juliet in R&J) was a murderer this time around. A very small part, but she played it SOOO well! Everyone with smaller parts totally hammed it up and acted it well. Especially Hecate, played by Anna (Gregory in R&J and Puck in Dream). SHE WAS AWESOME! I'm so proud of her! And Annie (Mustardseed in Dream and Peter in R&J) played Macduff's son who is brutally murdered (by her older brother, may I add.). WOWWOWOWOOWOW! She was GREAT!

The witches were played by me, Megan (Lady Capulet in R&J and Titania in Dream) and Sarah (Montague in R&J and Lysander in Dream). We rocked. we got the coolest makeup. Fo' sho.

Pictures will be up later! :)

My 300th post

WOOOOO!!

Anyway, more MacBeth stuff. Today we blocked two witch scenes. SO COOL! Hecate (Anna: Puck in Dream) had a lot of fun torturing the witches, one of which just happens to be her older sister, Megan (Lady Capulet in R&J and Titania in Dream)

Ooh-La la!

The homeschoolers in TJS get to do a special performance at a seniors' day center.

There are eight of us, and we're doing two scenes, one from "As You Like It" and the other from "Much Ado About Nothing". Sarah and I are Conrade and Borachio in Much Ado! Ben (Tybalt in R&J) is Dogberry, who he actually played when TJS did Much Ado the year before last, Kristen (The nurse in R&J and Theseus in Dream) is Verges and Rita is the Sexton. Jeff (Romeo) is Orlando in AYLI, Sara (Fairy and Lady Montague) is Rosalind, Sam is Silvius and Annie is Phebe.

More later! But we're doing it next week and we only have one rehearsal, so I have to get memorizing! Laters!

It's all over....

The performances of Romeo and Juliet and A Midsummer Night's Dream went really well. Standing ovations for all the performances!! Here are some pictures!

My Lord, Fair Helen told me of their stealth. Of this their purpose hither to this wood. And I in fury hither followed them. But by some power, my love to Hermia, melted as the snow, seems to me now. That all the faith, the virtue of my heart, the pleasure and sight of mine eye is only Helena.
