OH MY GOD!!!! OH MY GODOHMYGODOHMYGOD!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't believe it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! kay, I'll start from the beginning, then.
so, i got to school late today(there was no school today, but i had to get there before four to catch the bus to Red Deer for my adjuication) anyways, i slept in really late then forgot which time i was supposed to go down at. XD it was pretty funny. but, luckily, my dad came down and he drove me into Red Deer to the Matchbox theatre. I missed my adjudication, but that doesn't matter 'cause i got to see our last play. though the adjudicator apparently had plenty of good things to say about me 'cause of how...enthusiastic i was was on stage. anyway, i got there, watched some plays. then our last play, a new sunrise, was on and they did amazing!! Sarah and Melody played two old ladies. they were sooo funny.
anyway, two more plays went (the last one was this...INTERSTING musical called how to eat like a child. funny, but not spectacular. no offense meant.) and that was when the awards were given. first of all, my play, of poems, youth and spring, got THREE honorable mentions. Yeah. not too bad for half of our cast being first time actors. AND one of those honorable mentions was just for us four chorus members and it was for ACTING. A chorus NEVER gets an honorable mention for acting!!!!!!! and Kelly, who was Susan in my play and did several awesome monologues, got an award for acting. it was soooo awesome!!! Then Cam and Nathan, who were in a play about a man talking to god(nathan=god cam=man) both got awards. that was super sweet 'cause they did amazingly. and Mason and Logan both got awards for technical stuff in their plays. and Loganwon the best techie award. i was so proud of them. and Kelsey won an award for best student director. that was awesome. but, here's the best part.
kay, the point of this competition was to pick two plays that could go on to the provincial level acting competition. and.......
WATERMELON BOATS WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG!!! I was soooooooooo excited for Kate and Jordyn!!!!! after all, they did absoluely amazing. Watermelon Boats was the first play we did(on Tuesday). it's about these two girls, both named Katherine but called Kitty(Jordyn) and Kate(Kate) and they're both best friends. so, every year since they were in grade one they had been going to a lake to make boats out of watermelonms and put candles in them to float them across the lake. the first scene is them as eleven-year-olds and they talk about sex like eleven year-olds. here was the gist of the dialogue:
Kitty-I can't believe boys put that--
Kate-the whole idea is gross!
*pause*
Kitty-I wonder what it feels like?
and this part too.
Kitty-who do you think we'll have for sixth grade?
Kate-hmmm...Mr. Hokkins i hope.
Kitty-me too. he has neat eyes. every time he looks at me i have to go to the bathroom...
*awkward pause*
then the second scene they're in high school, about 17 years old. apparently Kitty had totally messed up the school play that Kate had written and they get into a big fight about that. which then leads into Kate telling Kitty that she has to stop sleeping around with guys 'cause Kitty admits that she might be pregnant. then Kitty accuses her of trying to be little miss perfect and Kate leaves in a rage.
the next scene is them as 21 year-olds. in this one Kate disappoints Kitty by telling her she doesn't know if she's actually going to become a famous writer(which had been her dream since grade school). then they get into an extremely beautiful part where Kitty tells her she's the perfect friend and that they're going to be friends forever and they'll get through life TOGETHER. it's really amazing. I nearly cried, it was that beautiful.
anyways, yeah, I'm sooooo happy for them. it was amazing. Kate was crying she was so happy. and the best thing was, it was really touching anyway, when they were called down to get their award Jordyn actually waited for Kate on the steps(Kate was sitting right up at the back of the stands and Jordyn was in the front) and took her hand as they walked down to the stage. i almost cried for that, too. hehe I'm such a sap sometimes.
what was really horrible, though, was the audience. kay, there's two shows that get to go to provincials and Watermelon Boats was only one. the other was the Bald Soprano. which was a really good show, no doubt about it. but...well, I'll do some dialogue.
Director of the festival-and our two winning shows, the two that will be going on to the provincials are...
Adjudicator-The Bald Soprano *and Watermelon Boats*
the reason for that being with stars around it is because as soon as she said "The Bald Soprano" all the Hunting Hills High School students bloody well ERUPTED with cheers. I. was. Fucking. FURIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!! you'd think they'd have a little bit of ettiquette!!!!!!! goddamn it, the bloody director SAID IT right to their FACES!!! there was TWO shows to be announced!!!!!!!!!! listen for the names of BOTH bloody shows before you cheer!!! that's just DISRESPECTFUL!!!!!!!!!! huh, though i guess what should i expect from bloody city preps. bastards. as actors, they're amazing. as an audience, they suck. big hairy elephant balls. and i hope they choke.
anyways, so I'm sooooo happy for Jordyn and Kate. they totally deserved that. absolutely.
but, it's twelve o'clock at night, well, one actually, so I'd best be eting some more and going to bed.
G'night my darlings!!! Peace, Love and Happiness to you all!!!
