Since I have to fill up a whole ten-page paper about this play (which turned out a lot shorter than I originally planned), this blog will be purely subjective. First off, I just want to say thanks to you, Dr. Gleason, for helping us with our performances, and squeezing extra practice time into our schedule (we really needed it). As for our play, well, some things turned out like I had envisioned them, some things did not. A lot of the problems came solely from technical errors that we didn’t plan on. One of the biggest ones being a dark backstage and four plays worth of props stacked in one giant pile. Another problem being the curtains, which I did not know how to operate. But I’m not going to dwell on the negative. I’m not a theatre techie so I can hardly be expected to know my way around the stage.
I had a lot of fun watching the other plays and seeing those little snippets of rehearsal come to life as a full blow production. I was actually a lot less nervous about our performance once I got onstage, mostly because I was too busy trying to figure out the curtain pulley system and find Titus’ apron to worry about being nervous.
All in all, it was definitely an experience. Stressful, yes. Hectic, yes. Frustrating, yes. But hey, that’s Broadway. And it certainly made me see Shakespeare in a whole new light.
