Yeah, so when we were told to have a theatrical summer, I had big hopes, really. I packed up my playbooks and ran out the door towards Texas. Unfortunately, its all been a major disappointment because I have failed to be theatrical at all (outside of what my family calls being a drama queen on a daily basis). I have almost finished two plays, read one book and seen only one show (which wasn't even theatre, it was a concert by a top 40 cover band in small town Texas).
I think that it is interesting to point out that whenever I lose the theatre in my life on stage, the drama takes over in my actual, personal life. Obviously not as fun, because you don't get to take off the clothes and the makeup and suddenly be problem free (sigh, if only...). People ask why I live and breathe theatre whenever I can, and that is basically the reason why. I'll be too busy to have problems of my own :)
I miss Korea, the excellent transportation, the inspiring culture, and the liveliness of a city
I miss my peers, with their ideas that continue to blow my mind at every twist and turn
I miss my other classes, because I got to think and talk about theatre during them
I miss my director, her office=my haven, constant enthusiasm and her amazszing husband who feeds me
I miss the community the campus... yes this crazy girl misses school.
I'm going to try as hard as I can to make the remainder of this summer theatrical... I crave it. I need it. I WILL GET IT BACK.
