adjusting to circumstances.

we had rehearsal again today and it was fun because JOHN CAME. YAY. finally we got to the malvolio scenes and made very important decision. i am hoping to direct the living rudesby out of this thing.

also, john is going to pick samantha up the way he did tracy at extravaganza. =) i want to get a picture of it. haha. that's the best way to meet someone. "hello." "hey." "i'm going to pick you up now."

also we made many cuts, but massiel and i could not do everything together so i did what i'm supposed to do as director anyway and i went through the thing and made some cuts. i'll probably make some more tomorrow. i cut off a lot =O i added some direction and stuff, but as it is now, the script is only 20 pages long! (in 6.5 font and in two columns.) i'd put it in three columns like jennie did, but i'm kind of scared lol i might try it tomorrow and see how it looks, though.

soon we will be able to have michelle and mark with us. =) yay sebastian and andrew.

i'm still not sure how to be feste so tomorrow i'm going to run through the script over and over until i decide how i want feste to be. feste is concrete in my mind, but in my mind, i don't picture myself as feste. i have to find a way to unite my image with feste. i sort of wish i was less actor, more director. much more director, especially because it's difficult for me to assist massiel with producing so this will be my part. if i'm going to have to do shakespeare, i'm going to do it with all my might, darn it!

the rehearsals and performances are so going to complicate my schedule. i won't do a big project like this again for a while. i think we'll have a much smaller company at the end of this. not sure if samantha will want to be in it a lot especially because she goes to a different school and that might be difficult.

perhaps we can do a collection of short skits for something.

at least we have amanda as treasurer and jennie as stage manager. we need to solicit people to get an initial budget! ahhh! we spent too much time on the giftbaskets and made the mistake of spending our own money for it. massiel is going to have to pay herself back with part of the money we get from our first one.

i think we should've tried to find 100% profit fundraisers before starting the niceby algorithm.

btw, it's getting really hard to explain this whole business while writing things for colleges or scholarships especially when they have word limits which i abhor.
