You may remember some of the previous drama class plays since you've been in high school such as Mascarade back in Andre Meloche and Alex Seguin's graduating year, or even Chad Doit Mourrir from two years ago, a spin off of 'John Tucker Must Die'. This one was my personal favourites, not only because I helped write it and acted in it but because it was just so much fun to create and perform and poor Dallas, he was the only boy that year but hey at least he was a star... Even though we all tried to kill him! You might also remember last years play 'Île ne m'aime' pas which was based on the movie 'Couples Retreat'. That play was a perfect representation of the ugly side of theater kids, if only you all could have seen the creation and practice process... train wreck. We pulled it off in the end though! These productions count as our final exam for our drama class. It must consist of a play lasting between 50 minutes and one hour, written, directed and starred in by the grade 12's of the course, created specifically for our school audience and their tastes.
This play must be completely created and perfected in the space of about a month and a half. Believe me when I say that this is NEVER enough time to put it together at a relaxed pace. It is usually supercharged and rushed. It is all supposed to be done within the 75 minutes of class per day, yeah no, we always end up with after school practices to make up for the lack of time during school hours. Not exactly ideal but hey we're dramatics it's our job to get it done on time.
This years play is being written and directed by Nicholas Rogers and Natalie Reid and stars Daniel, Tim, Rachel, Dallas, Marc, Jacqueline and Myself. It is without a doubt something nobody is ever going to expect us to do. Unlike anything we've ever done and very very original. It will be presented June 16th and is sure to impress. Make sure to be here that day! You know by now we always bring it!
See ya later beautiful people!
