As I'm looking at my schedule for the last two terms of High School (gaaahhhh!) it appears that I don't have time to do a musical this year. When I told my friend that she said "When has that ever stopped you?" hahaha true.
But this time, it's seriously not looking good. The last play I was in was rather spontaneous. I decided I'd audition literally 30 minutes before auditions ended. It turned out to be really really fun. And I've missed the whole theater thing! I miss going to rehearsal and seeing kids from other schools, making new friends, being with professional directors, dancing, singing, acting, saying lines, memorizing lines, wearing the costume for the first time....
It's wierd because all through elementary and Junior High, I thought I'd be involved in theatre in High School. In 9th grade, my school theatre experience was pretty fun. Average most of the time, inspiring at moments, but fun (ish)
I decided to go the band and Dance Company route. I'm glad I did.
I still love theater though. I love doing musicals and acting, outside of school. I think the most realistic concept of High School I had coming into High School was the existence of "theater kids." You can be in Dance Company or Wind Ensemble or Key Club or Track. But when you're in theater. You are a theater kid. That's what you are.
Anyway, I was looking at some of the musicals of years past and reminiscing. I have so many wonderful memories from them. I hope I can audition for some in college, just city musicals or if I go to Weber, ones at Terrace Plaza. I did Music Man there and LOVED it.
These comments from 8 years ago made me smile. These people are still so supportive and nice!
I was a little chubby 4th grader, doing the most professional musical I've ever done. It was in Salt Lake and acting classes were given in addition to regular practices. I can't believe it was so long ago! I remember you had to come with a monologue. I came with Jerry Seinfeld's Halloween. On one part, I got down on my hands and knees, really getting into the character, and shouting out the lines. The director was laughing hysterically. That was one of the most surprising and awesome moments of my life. I think I was a little young to be in the play, because after that they worked with me tirelessly on my Mary, Mary Quite Contrary poem. It had to be perfect. I hadn't been expected of nailing something that solidly in my whole life! But it was an absolute blast. For casting, they wrapped boxes and put them under a Christmas tree for us to open. Inside was a piece of paper with our parts. To this day, the music brings back memories immediately and so strongly.
Until a few months theater!

And you should be excited! Good for Golda! It is nice when all that hard work pays off. Hoping the same thing happens with our Nutcracker.
Jennie said...
Way to go Golda! We are proud of you. We can't wait to come and see you.
Michelle said...
We loved it, Jake wants to be in a play like cousin Golda when he get big.
Love this post! That little picture of you and my Brittany in your Alice! Ah! Slow down time! I wish she had gotten the theater bug like you but I am glad that we have had such fun watching the Dopp kids!
