A Fantastic Show
“At 25th Annual Putnam Country Spelling Bee, my parents keep on telling me~~” As the familiar the song being sung, I know my experience at drama in winter season is done.I walk straight to the stage, bow and listen to the compliment and encouragement which is given to all the people who participate in the show from my English, Writing and Drama teacher--Ms. Guarino; At that time, I conjecture I am going to have the feeling of free and being released; I can spent my lovely afternoon in my doom to read and playing with my laptop. I don’t need to spend anymore time in the black box theater where I used to get out of as soon as my work is done. However, an opposite feeling appears like flood crash though my heart. It is a feeling contains sadness, regret and reminiscent. Maybe I am not ready for the end of the show which comes too quick and pass by me before I notice.
Although I never have chance to watch the show completely, from the corner of the backstage, every time during the practice I know every part of the show; I remember the order of the songs and I even can sing with it. Therefore, I have the rights to make a comment of the show. In my opinion the show is perfect, everyone participate in it try as hard as they can to make it perfect. My job during the show is selling food during intermission and changing the background scene for act two. It sounds easy, but I want to say that it is really cold to sit in front of the door in Gym at night and you should have a nimble hand to change the scene before the audience see you. Also I am in charge of carry food and music instruments to the black box theater. Though all the part I have done in drama, my favorite part is helping actors practice as an audience member. I need to spell cow and dance in the song called “Pandemonium”. It is interesting to me to see how actor react to the world I got and the feeling of attending is also good to me. To talk more about this play, I want to say that it fits perfect to a saying which is “Ten minutes of stage, stage takes ten years.” What behind the fantastic show is all the time and passion we spend in the play, so I clap every time at the end of the play and give a thumbs-up and high five after the actors get out of the stage.
The only things I feel bad about the show is, we should have more number of times to perform at least more than three. During the show I ask Andrew how he feels about the end of the drama season. He told me that he is happy to have free time in the afternoon, but also the sadness which we only perform 3 times. I can tell it is best show I have ever had in my life, although I only participate in one show :). Clap for everybody who participate in the show!!
