As I have previously mentioned, a cast is like a family. This type of family however, is very unique. It is a type of family that slowly morphs from strangers, to acquaintances, to friends, to people you count on in your everyday life and that you'll never ever forget. I truly feel this way about the casts I have been part of for the past 3 years in la Troupe Royale.
The grade 12's that are graduating leave our legacy to the few who will remain next year. It will be up to Tori, Shannan, Tim, Florine and Michelle to pick up where we left off. I have full confidence in them to step up to the plate and put on the same amazing performances we have been throughout this year. They are more than capable of blowing us all away. I will miss them dearly.
Something being a theatre kid has taught me is that it is worth it to really put in time and effort to accomplish something that is important to you. Long 8pm practices, early morning rises, long bus rides, missing out on social events all turn out to be worth it in the end. Also, the value of team work has really been emphasized in this theatre program. It sounds so cliche but we do all really count on each other.
It is almost time for me to say my farewells to the people that have become so near and dear to me. I both look forward to and dread May 25th, my last show as a main actress in one of La Troupe Royal's productions.
Pardon me getting all emotional here
Bye!
I hear you Maddie! It is never hard to say goodbye to something you have been invested in for so long as you have with La Troupe Royale d'EJL. I have seen and enjoyed so many plays that the Troupe Royale has been able to share with so many people during the years and I will never forget them. I am really sorry to hear that you and your family of the Troupe will be breaking apart this year after so long and to have so many people leave however like you said we will all be moving on no matter what. But like you said, you have left your spots to amazing actors that will continue on your legacy! To the best of luck to all of you!
ReplyDeleteIt's been one crazy ride filled with good times and good people. Being around these people for three to four years, you develops a bit of an attachment to them and it's hard when it's all over. But it's not over quite yet and as I like to say don't put your arms down until the ride is over.
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute Madison! It is sad, but every year Lajeunesse loses some great actors. It seems like the drama people easily pick up where they left of and improve! I find it awesome how close you guys have become and all the dedication put into your plays. Congrats to the Troupe Royale and its success, best of luck to you! :)
ReplyDeleteMadison I would just like to say that me personally LOVE our school plays! I am an athlete and mostly only care about sports and didn't care for anything else. Although this last few years, every time I've seen one of the plays they either make me laugh, cry and laugh even more. I would just like to say a job well done!! Hopefully after you and your fellow actors graduate, Lajeunesse will still be able to create some productive plays.
ReplyDeleteI miss you guys already. It's not going to be the same without you. This was a very special gang. *Sigh* Now I'm getting teary eyed.
