We woke up and got ready, eating the fastest breakfast I have ever consumed before getting on a transfer bus from the hotel to the college/conference center. We saw a performance of a show called “Waiting for Lefty” (Which was amazing) and then we had another one of the most amazing meals I’ve ever eaten.
After the show and lunch, I took a Shake Up Your Shakespeare class, which taught the different ways to interpret Shakespeare. It also gave the fundamentals of Shakespearean language and we did skits with the insults, which was HILARIOUS. The girl I worked with was absolutely fabulous and we exchanged names/numbers to keep in touch (I love making new theatre-kid friends).
Then I had a stage-combat class. This is my all-time favorite class. Not just because I adore stage-combat and learning the many different forms and fighting techniques, but because during this class I did the impossible: I met a hot, straight, single guy! THERE AREN’T MANY OF THOSE IN THE THEATRE DEPARTMENT. It was like finding a unicorn. Mostly I just wanted to say that I did it. He lives really far away so there’s nothing to worry about for me, but hey, I FOUND ONE!
Then dinner and some free-time. And then the awards ceremony. A couple kids from my troupe got great scholarships and I was so proud of them. They did amazingly well. I couldn’t be happier with the weekend I had!
We partied until the early hours of the morning, ordered pizza, and just generally chilled out and had a blast together. I am so excited that I’ve created such a close bond with all of the people that went to Thespian’s Festival with me. WHAT TEAM? WILDCATS!
