Theater

I always wanted to be part of a theater group. I was always good at fake crying. I always got people with it - it was a lot of fun. Well I don't mean to sound self absorbed or anything but I always thought I was quite an actress ;). Like as in when I read a script it didn't sound like plain reading off a piece of paper, like in class or something. It had enthusiasm and passion! And if it didn't need enthusiasm and passion, it had whatever it needed to. Or so I thought. And I'm usually my own biggest critic so if I like something I do then I really do think I do it well, and usually I'm not the only one either.
So okay I was part of this one Russian school thing and they asked me to join their Russian club and the theater because they REALLY needed girls! The first play was a Russian thing for little kids that people set up on new years with the Russian Santa and his Granddaughter and everything, plus this thing called audience participation. That's where the Santa takes all the kids around different corners of the room that are set up as a bear den or a wolf den and the people dressed as bears or wolves play games or solve holiday riddles with the kids. Then there is the evil witch that kidnapped the Santa's Granddaughter and the kids and Santa have to find her. Well I got to play the witch, and I felt really good later cause my dad got everything on tape and that was like a bigger role than first timers get, and people told me that I did it as if I was doing it all my life! It made me feel special :).
We are doing another play now, this time a MUCH bigger one and not childish. Ever heard of a film/musical fiddler on the roof? Yeah we are doing that one but rewritten a bit so it was called Pomenal'naya Molitva, which translates to I forget what but its something prayer, but then we renamed it to Tevye The Milkman. So yeah. I'm playing his 3rd oldest daughter Chava. Which sounds more like Hava. So yeah. I'll post more about how THAT goes later! Bye!!
