Our college pantomime...

Another Losers' Club performance to Azul...

We've been working hard on it now since returning back to college from half-term holiday. It's been a very interesting experience, very infuriating too, at times. People have bitched and moaned and backstabbed and even written formal complaints to the head of college!

We've built and painted our own set. Found our own costumes. Made our own props. Stayed in until eight-thirty at night on a lot of occasions...

The show is about a medical student named Hans, sent in to cure a bewitched princess. He gets the help off a gobbin and a fairy swine-herder called Sylvester. The King and his royal secretary Scratch (played by yours truly), aided by a mad woman called Mrs Crabtree go their own way to find the cure for themselves. As do the King's traitorous fake doctors. All of whom have a nasty encounter with a witch called Daisy who bewitches them, too...

I'm aware that I haven't described it at all well, but take my word when I say it's a very clever script. I, myself, have finally found my character's definition and I love to engage the audience. It's like being forced to be child-like, and I'm loving it...

We start performing to little school children tomorrow! Got a bad throat, too. I could do with some honey and lemon.

First Adult Performance:

Burst my lip bumping into another character (which is meant to happen - minus the lip bursting), and snagged my neck on the curtain running on stage. Hurts like mad, but the audience had a good time and so did I...

Why do I tell you these things?

Well in that case, they should use broadband...

Today's performance went well again today, only ruined by the cast having a huge argument afterwards. Glad it wasn't my cast today...

Three shows tomorrow, meanwhile, including our first night/adult show.

Maybe not many, but I'm sure a few do, although the majority don't and waste a fraction of their lives waiting for it to load, then reading it, knowig that those precious seconds will never be given back.

Not everyone on here is a ******.

Glad you enjoyed yourself and feel you made an achievement.

Muh, could you warn us in the topic title, I hate opening it up to find this boringness.

Say something like "Me and my acting. Again"
In the topic title.

Better than your previous production then? Is it the same cast as before or do you have a new group of actors?

Hooray! The first show is always the hardest.

I guess.

First Show:

We all waited outside the left hand side of the theatre in costume and with our lanterns preparing for our dark arrival. As we stood patiently at the back, the kids were coming in through the front as we played numerous Christmas songs.

As they started to sing to the chorus of the Slade song (it's name's escaped my memory) in their cute little voices, I was at ease. They were already loving it.

I went on that stage and strutted my stuff. The kids loved every single minute of the whole show. They were so responsive, yelling all the "It's Behind You", and "Oh no you didn't" thingies that you find in panto.

And while I do think that I did a very good performance, no reward feels better than how the children found it.

That in itself is a trophie I am very proud of that none of you (minus Cookie, perhaps) will give a damn about, and yet I can't help but feel like I have achieved, somehow...
