December 2008

My month had its ups and downs. After I got the part of desdemona, I also learned one of my friends, Victor Norman, had and accident and died. My friend Summer came up so we could go to his memorial together. There were to many people there. It was cool. Oh and for the record everyone here is the brief story on how he died so that the rumors can stop. He triped and fell and hit his head. Not long after he started complaining of a headache and was bleeding from his ear. when he finnaly go to the hospital he had blood on the brain and his brain drowned and he died. Anyways, someone is alive today because of him being and organ donor.

As for the rest of the month we have had continual snowstorms out and my car broke down. We have recently gotten it fixed and also Summers flight had been cancelled do to the weather and finally made it home Dec. 22nd. Christmas was very nice, and got many wonderful gifts and spent lots of time with family. I hope everyone had a good christmas!

Desdemona!

We had call backs on Monday and I was there. We were reading parts and dancing and all sorts of fun stuff. Then I totally mastered the death scene for Desdemona between her and Othello and guess what.... I GOT THE PART OF DESDEMONA!!!!!!! I am now the leading lady in "Othello".

We had our first read through together with the cast yesterday and we were dissecting the words and cutting certain lines because they were unnecessary or just repeating and was going to get boring for the audience. Then we would read the translated side of our script through one scene and go back and re read that scene with the Shakespeare side. It was a long, hard but needed ordeal. We only got through Act 1 scene 3 and tomorrow will start with Act 2 scene 1 and do that all over again. Don't get me wrong though. I am still having a blast with this and am really happy I'm a part of this. We open March 5th. I will give more details as time progresses.
