A Midsummer Night's Dream

So, I'm waiting for my mission call to come. And so I've involved myself in the local college's production of Shakespeare's 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' because it runs in October, and I might as well!

And I LOVE this show! The first time I saw it was the summer before I started eighth grade, so... 2010. A while ago. But my older brother played Lysander, and a bunch of my other friends were in the production, and I just remember thinking what and INCREDIBLE show it was. It was so. funny. and so clever!

If you don't know A Midsummer Night's Dream, I recommend this helpful summary (although it does have a slight language issue.) But it's really good.

So of course, when I found out auditions were being held, I had to go! Rle auditioned too, which is great. Yay friends! But anyhow- Auditions were last week, and the cast list came out last Friday- Rle got cast as Egeus, Hermia's father, and I got cast as Titania, the fairy queen.

Which is wonderful! Except for one thing- I am an AWKWARD soul. I am not at all what I would envision as a fairy queen. Like, when I told my sister that there are several scenes where the fairies dance, and one where I have the line, "We shall dance with fairy grace," she just laughed. And one of my friends, an adult lady named Jor, who's helping with costuming/tech for the show, did the same thing. GUYS. I am NOT graceful at all! It's gonna be one fun adventure...

Seriously, though, I am SO STOKED to be in this show. I love it so much, and it's going to be wonderful!

Unless the fairy queen Titania trips onstage and takes out Oberon the fairy king, or some other equally awful idea. I guess we'll see.
