Some theatre updates from your pal Eddie!

(sorry I know I’ve had a lot of SU’s recently, they’ll slow down eventually pinky promise)

So…I don’t really have time right now to mourn Crucible closing. One of my biking coaches says to always be looking for your next finish line (he meant it as the next person to pass in a race but I’m feeling it right now lol). And…I have new finish lines to work for right now. Most of my classes are tough, so it’s nice to have time to actually figure that out. 

And I don’t have theatre withdrawal, because I still have two theatre classes  In contemporary, we’ve started working on region and state pieces. I’m doing a humorous contemporary scene from a play called love/sick, which is…really weird.

My scene is called What?! And the best summary I’ve been able to find of it is “a confession of love leaves a man numb, deaf, and tongue-tied.” So…I get to confess to a dude and it freaks him out? I get my script for that on Thursday, I’m hoping it’s a lot of fun. I don’t know my partner very well, which is a little sad because I would’ve loved to do a scene with one of the seniors or one of my friends, but… *shrugs* the wheel weaves as the wheel wills. 

And in musical theatre, I finished choreo for Burning Love. It’s actually so fun, even though it’s incredibly tough and I’m struggling a lot haha. It also kind of rips me apart, because I wasn’t planning on doing musical theatre again next year, since I can’t sing and don’t dance very well, but…stars, it’s fun. It’ll probably depend a lot on if I make it into the MDT class. 

Aaaand…yeah! Life keeps moving, and for now I’m moving with it. I’m ok with whatever’s coming next. I might be going to a school dance and on a super fun day date (only if my mom lets me go with a girl—I’m straight, and she knows that, it would be as friends, but my mom has some hesitations). I’m surviving debate (yay!) and cool seniors have started saying hi to me in the hallways. My brain isn’t tearing itself apart as much as it was yesterday. 

Anyway, just wanted to let y’all know I’m still alive and well. You guys doing ok?
