- December 17, 2011, Saturday.
- What could be a better way to start the Christmas break than by getting together and rehearsing for a production? Well, I could honestly mention a lot more things, but Christmas rehearsals has surely been one of my Christmas-break rituals for several years now. I have enjoyed performing, and much more teaching it, so why not start the break with a blast?
- The school was closed today, so instead of having a "grand" rehearsal at the auditorium, we narrowed it down to the main cast, plus me, and decided to practice at Justin's place.
- The cast met at the school gate this morning at (supposedly) 8am. We were all set to go at around 8:30, and our member Mikhail and his parents offered to drive us to Justin's house. Clarice, Kimberly, and Ralph stayed behind, while waiting for another member -- to no avail. They arrived at Justin's house without the missing member, Jeremy.
- We all had a fruitful morning, doing some script-reading and internalization. Since Ms. Isip wasn't around, I was left to be the "substitute adviser." Well, at least I had only a few to handle, and not a big battalion of members like originally planned. Jeremy also made it to Justin's house moments before lunch.
- We had some pizza and mojos from Shakey's for lunch. Everyone was silent while we were eating, becase the food arrived late. Oh well. Performing is a tiring craft -- a tiring but rewarding one that is.
- We promptly resumed our rehearsal after lunch and continued until 3pm. Afterwards, while waiting for Mikhail's parents to arrive, we hung out at Justin's room, together with his dog. Mikhail's parents arrived around 4pm, and we once again hitched a ride back to school.
