I hope this link works for you guys - I'm at school right now, on a school computer, so I can't be sure this isn't one of those, "You have to be logged in to the Mt. Royal website to see this," sort of things.
But yeah, this is what I've been babbling about for a while. The show I've been working on, that we just wrapped. There are pics of the actors on the set here, some in action from the play. I don't have time to go through them all right now, but if you give me the image number you want to know more about, I can explain what's going on in a different post.
Basic premise of the story: Assistant prof. Constance Ledbelly is losing her position. She believes that both Othello and Romeo and Juliet were stolen by Shakespeare from another source, and that they were originally meant to be comedies. She thinks an ancient book written in an unknown language holds the original source material. While examining the book, she is sucked into the world of a combined Othello and Romeo and Juliet - the source material. She must find the author to escape Shakespeare's world.
Very funny play. If you can find it in your library, I urge you to read it.
Anyway, some of these pics are just front and back shots of the actors - those are for costumes.
The shots of people wearing black is stage management and running crew. Yay techs! (No, I'm not in there, I wasn't on running crew.)
I love how these shots show some of the lighting effects. Yay, lights!

These are passing around, so what the hell, I thought I'd spread the love...
Your Past Life:
I don't know how you feel about it, but you were female in your last earthly incarnation.
You were born somewhere in the territory of modern South Africa around the year 1800.
Your profession was that of a dancer, singer or actor.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your brief psychological profile in your past life:
Ruthless character, carefully weighing his decisions in critical situations, with excellent self-control and strong will. Such people are generally liked, but not always loved.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The lesson that your last past life brought to your present incarnation:
Your lesson is to combat violence and disharmony in our world, to understand its roots and origins. All global problems have similar origins.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Do you remember now?
Um...no. I was black? Uh-huh.
With the same damn characteristics I have now? I've been in enough crisis situations to know that whole description could apply.
My lesson is to understand the roots of violence?
...
Although, did anyone notice it says I was born female, but it uses MALE pronouns? (!) I mean, it probably just matches up results randomly, and that's why, but...creepy.
( Other quizzes. Take and enjoy )

So I have almost finished setting up movie night with David, although there are some details to be worked out.
Three days away, and I'm already regretting this decision. Don't I ALWAYS regret it when some Gryffindorish impulse hits me? Ugh.
I'm going to be spending four hours or more in his presence, and HE HATES ME! Okay, well, maybe he doesn't hate me, but I'm sure he thinks I'm annoying. Everybody does. I'm not a hatable person, I don't think, I just get on EVERYBODY'S nerves.
One stupid movie that he's DESPERATE to see, and he acts like he's going to watch a naked wrestling match between Martha Stewart and Oprah while tethered to Jabba the Hut.
I can see the whole evening now:
- My mom will pick David and I up at school. The Rumour Mill goes berserk.
- We'll sit in stiff silence through the car ride with my mom occasionally saying, "Boy, you guys are quiet."
- When Nicole speaks to us, she refers to me by female pronouns. Mom clucks at her. Nicole makes a sound of disgust, tosses her head and glares out the window. David looks very disturbed.
- When we get to the theatre, Mom will shoo David off with me. David will faint in horror. No, not really, but JUST then I will have to run off, obsessive-compulsively, to the bathroom. I'll come back 10 minutes before the movie starts and jiggle in place and hope I don't have to pee again. David will think I'm nutters.
- He'll hate the movie.
- Negotiation over whether he goes home or stays for supper. He stays, hates the food, and gets told by my mother, in graphic detail, what a mess my room is.
- We drive him home. He's embarrassed by the whole affair, and avoids me for the rest of second semester.
THERE'S A REASON I'M A LONER! THERE'S A REASON I HAVE NO CLOSE FRIENDS!
I SUCK at this "friend" business, that's why. I could have stayed home Tuesday afternoon and eaten copious amounts of chocolate pudding while listening to showtunes.
*sulk*
