Today I saw two shows in one day!
Well, first I had a Google Hangout with my beautiful girlies who I miss so much! <3 I worked on my essay a bit, then it was off to...
Show 1- Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.
I was thinking of auditioning for Dirty Rotten Scoundrels at the beginning of the year, but didn't because I was worried about the time commitment, being a freshman and all. I SO regret it. The show looked like it was super fun! Everyone in the cast was so animated and into the story. You could tell they were having a great time. The talent was spectacular as well. Though... there were a couple characters I felt were a bit... too over the top. Also, it was hard to understand/hear people at times. But still, the story was awesome, and the leads had some great comic timing.
After the show, I worked out for a bit and had dinner before going to the the next show!
Show 2- The Crucible.
Honestly, I loved The Crucible when we read it in high school. It's so intricate and has so much behind it. But seeing the show live just brought all those themes out so much more. I feel so privileged that I got to watch it. It was a very different mood than DRS, of course, but I was still on the edge of my seat for most of the show. However, the beginning was a little slow, and it was hard to hear people. Also, many of the characters acted angry.... almost the whole time... it seemed a bit too easy for some characters to raise their voices. Sometimes it was effective and added to what was supposed to be in the scene quite a bit. Sometimes... it was not. But the actors who played Elizabeth and Proctor were phenomenal. Quite easily my favorite people to watch on that stage. They were just.... perfect. Perfect perfect perfect. They took my heart and wrenched it in two and brought out all the injustice of the Salem Witch trials and I loved it.
Since the show ended, I've had a couple other adventures. Jinny and I went to Starbucks for a late-night snack stock-up!! That was fun. I spent a while hanging out in a room down the hall with Melanie and her roommate Victoria. Victoria had a friend here from Argentina too! Corona joined us, and Kate was there, then I met two guys from North and Parkside who were really funny. But we were there for a while, and now it's late.
Tomorrow is a working day folks!!! But... I'm glad today wasn't. There's no business like show business, you know?
Fight on, friends.
