Why I Love Theatre

The theatre is awesome. Anyone who doubts me is uncultured and needs therapy. The Sound of Music is my current show, in which I play the part of Louisa, the second oldest Von Trapp daughter. First of all, Von Trapp? Super mega awesome name! Second, Louisa? Super mega awesome character! She's the trouble maker of the children and is always playing pranks on the governesses, her favorite being putting toads in their beds. Heh, heh...

Also, the children get to do all sorts of fun numbers in this show, such as Do-Re-Mi and So Long, Farewell. Would it have been nice to also get to do 16 Going on 17? Sure, that would have been nice, but I'm going to have to live with it. Yeah, I wanted Liesl, but I didn't get to try out for her, because I missed the initial audition being in Disney World, and so I just had to do a callback for any part they wanted, and they wanted Louisa. But I'm not complaining. I'm having a blast, and I have a great part still.

I am not looking forward to next week, though. The 4H fair cooincides with our last week of rehearsal. It will be insane. :( All that I know is that I'm sacrificing showing pigs, not rehearsal if the need arrises.

We get to climb a mountain at the end of the show, and end in super dramatic poses. I'm excited. I'll return with pictures or something later.
