After the show ended multiple cast members had tears falling down their cheeks, we had done it, we had brought real life into these characters and they had become part of us. It was an emotionally draining day that's for sure. We were all ready to fly away ...
The bigger and more dreaded end is fast approaching as well, after The Great Gatsby on the 5th, 6th, 9th and 10th and our grade 11/12 drama class play on the 16th, my highschool acting career as well as that of Daniel, Natalie, Marc, Christine, Nick and Dallas is officially over. The curtains are about to close.
I would like to take a moment to thank all of you for you constant support and feedback for La Troupe Royale. I know it wasn't always easy to be nice to us drama geeks and you didn't always like watching the plays but hey it didnt kill you guys did it?Hope you guys will all stay to see the next two plays to cheer us on one last time before we're gone forever. Places everybody!
Its been one hell of a ride, Lajeunesse.
Madison, hello. Your blog was quite interesting despite the fact that I didn't read a single post. I trust your skills in the English language enough to know that they were written beautifully and with much care. Hopefully you do well in the future as a dramateer. Have a fantastic month of October, Joey.
ReplyDeleteI can definitely understand your feelings towards the end of your high school acting career. Yesterday was my final concert with the music class and jazz band as a student of E. J. Lajeunesse and I can say that it was a pretty emotional night. I’m going to quote M. Couvillion because he said something at last year’s graduation that I feel is pretty accurate towards the collective atmosphere in our grade now that it is the end of high school: “Don’t be sad that it is over; be happy that it has happened” (or something like that).
ReplyDeleteOhh my gosh! Yes, I remember that. I'm pretty sure M. Couvillon said something like that! But I do have to agree with Amanda. The last anything in our high careers are pretty emotional. Whether it is our last sport, play, concert...anything! But hey now we know that we are finally taking another big step in life and we will always have those good memories to remember! Best of luck to everyone!
DeleteGlad to say that I was part of La Troupe Royale this year. I had a lot of fun with all you weird drama people and it may or may not have made me more outgoing.... you'll never know. You and everyone else did amazing and I too was somewhat sad when it was all over. Good luck in your future working in the drama world. Apparently it's October.
ReplyDeleteIt's over. That's it, that's all that can be said. The end of this era probably deserves more profound words. But in the end, after all we've been through, the highs and the lows, the brilliant performances and the laughable screw-ups all that can be said is, it' over. I'm sure that these great days will stay with us, whether we continue down the road of acting or let the curtain fall forever on our careers. I will always remember these days, as I'm sure all of us will, as some of the best days of my life.
ReplyDeleteGreat Blog Madison.
ReplyDeleteI'll say it again: This was an awesome group. You all hold a place in my heart and I'm sad to see you go, but happy that you are all starting a new adventure. The beauty and the tragedy of theatre is that it's temporary. We can't hold onto it forever, but that's part of what makes it so special.
The memories, on the other hand, we can hold onto.
Best wishes to all of you. Merde!
