No Day But Today

Plays, both pro and amateur


We went to see the Grapes of Wrath today with school (the funny thing is that it was really for English class, but god forbid a fieldtrip should cut into our time for English. Or so our teacher implys). The actors were so freakin' good! And the guy who played the preacher was also the screenwriter for my friend's summer play. The same one who did the transvestite calling (see Number One-and some putt-putt). Small world, eh?
I sat in front of Mr. Hissy Fit, and guess who made little comments of his own through the whole thing, even though he was seated next to the Evil English Teaher? Said comments include: "I like the preacher," and "Cool, guns!" It was cool, though, that they built a pool of water under the stage, and at several points in the play, it was opened up and people jumped in. And rainwater fell in too. God, I want to work in a proffesional theater.
But what was really cool was the fact that three of my friends (one not really a friend) who used to go to the same school as me were there too. Only two more and we would have had the complete cast of Scapin, as preformed by the SCDS middle school of 2004. That play was incredible. We did the Cotton Eyed Joe dance behind the curtain during intermission, and prayed that nobody would open it.
Can we say "Stream of consciousness"?
