It's over..

Wizard of Oz is over. I can't tell you if I'm happy, or sad, or what. I'm glad I have more time to do homework and such, but I'll miss getting to answer to being called over as Dorothy. I received flowers and candy tonight! Plus I was asked to be in pictures, and sign autographs. It was great. I'll miss it. There's a cast party next Tuesday, so we didn't say goodbye completely, but the real fun is over.

If anyone who recorded the performance can make a dvd for me, that'd be SOO amazing!

Today's my 17th birthday! My Golden Birthday. I'm glad I was able to share it with 400+ people. :)

I also went to the arcade down by the water today with my best friend and got two jackpots on games. Overall, with 25 dollars we got 1015 tickets, and traded them for two strobe lights, a can of Sprite, two lollipops, and two jolly ranchers. It was fantastic.

I'm exhausted.

New Year, New News.

Wizard of Oz has went well. Dress rehearsal was a nightmare, but opening night (minus a few "issues" which the audience got a kick out of, including me locking myself into the jail cell, and losing the robot toto backstage) went well, and today's show was a little less than 100 percent better (or at least I thought so..). I signed a few autographs and met a lot more little kids. Remember when I was Tinkerbell and talked with a lot of little kids, and they were so nervous to talk to me? That happened this time, also, but this time I was a little more prepared with things to ask.
I wish I had pictures of the show to post, but there's a new rule where no photos or videos are allowed to be taken. There won't even be a main video... I really hope my parents break that rule at least this once; to have no memorabilia of being Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz is really saddening for me.
There's only one show left! Next weekend, on my "Golden" Birthday; January 17th (at 7 pm). Go to www.broadwaybound.org to order tickets. There's only a few left, so buy them right away!
Yesterday was the Individual Events Festival for thespians in the Seattle area. Our school was the largest, and had the most performers make it into the top ten and twenty percent of all performances. The festival consists of performing pieces in set rooms in front of an adjudicator who judges your piece and writes down feedback. The categories to enter into are group musical, solo musical, duet musical, mime, monologue, duo scene, and group scene. I prepared a monologue and a solo musical song. Unfortunately, I didn't realize one was supposed to have two contrasting monologues.. so I had to remember one from a long time ago while on the bus to the festival. All in all, I was very flustered, and tired from only five and a half hours of sleep, so I didn't do so well. There's always next year.
On better news, the cast list for Roosevelt's musical, Cats, went up this past week. Without a call-back, I was surprised to see my name listed under "Principle Singers"! It was exciting. The list is very strange this year, only six or so roles were actually casted, and the rest will be casted during the rehearsal process. The retreat is in two weeks, and then my trip to New York with the drama department is the following week. I'll be busy, and I'm so ready. After I am able to transfer out of APUSH, my life will be (hopefully) a lot less hectic.

Until I have more news, I have nothing else to update. Thanks for reading!
