Journal entry 2

Wow… I couldn't’t believe what I was actually doing. The feeling felt incredible. The lights gleamed down on my face as I stood in the center of the stage. Audience showed there excitement on their faces as our director spoke to get there attention for our premiere of our play. I wasn’t quite nervous because I have done this before. I was overwhelmed about how all this turned out. It turned out to be an outstanding performance. We have spent so many weeks practicing and all of the rehearsals had boiled down to this point. The play had begun. Smoothly, the words began to flow right out of our mouths as if we had been acting for a long time. Before we knew it, 45 minutes went by so fast. We bowed to the audience as they cheered us on. The play went well from my point of view. We all did our best. I could tell the audience enjoyed the play also. When Tj (who played Brutus) and Marlinette (who played Brutus’s wife Portia), were doing their scene and Marlinette said “Should I bear my patience to know my husband’s secret?” The audience had this expression on their face as if they could actually feel what Marlinette was saying to Tj. At the end of the scene the audience cheered loudly. The audience had felt her eagerness to know her husband’s secrets. Their reactions and facial expressions were a sign that they were really enjoying the play.
The play had a lot to do with all the problems that were going on in the world today. In the play they killed Caesar for the good of Rome. So do you think Saddam Hussein should have been killed? Do you think this is the right way to go about Freedom in countries? In my opinion I don’t think they should kill people for the freedom of countries. How is that solving anything? Why don’t they just re-elect their ruler? By doing so, there country would be led by some one who they think will be honorable to their country. This play has been a great experience for me and I would love to do it again.
