I am in (one of) 2008’s one act play
The copious amount of readers that I have (that was a joke) must all know by now that I was in 2007’s one act play (the puppets).
Well, I went through 2 rounds of auditions and came out the other side a better person. I have never learnt lines so fast in my entire life. Anyway, I got a part in ONE OF the plays that our school is doing this year to compete in the many competitions.
Yes, “one of”.
You see, our directors thought it might be nice to do not one, not two, not three, but FOUR plays this year. That means that, as one of the top schools concerning drama at teenage level, we essentially have to compete against not only other schools, but against ourselves.
I am in the piece called, “This is just to say”. It is written by Hennie van Greunen and translated to Afrikaans by one of our directors. Anyway, during the translating, it changed names. I suppose that the direct translation of the current title would be, “Between you and me…”
Regardless of the title, I am in it. The other cast members are probably some of the best actors one could wish for. They are really a superb ensemble of players. I could not have wished for a better group of people.
Anyway, all of those plays are excellent. We have strict competition next year (and I won’t even mention the other schools).We will all do our best, and I really hope that every one act for 2008 gets as much praise and attention as it deserves. Good luck, everyone.
