I regret NOTHING..... (Sorta)

This week was finalising our piece, which is now called Bloody mIST(not that I know how to pronounce it) and figuring out where we left off. Tuesday Rehearsal was unique as not only was it the first rehearsal in two weeks but Maria was also there. We treated the lesson as a refresh and ran through what we already had but with Maria. It felt very different to actually be messing around and Maria was REALLY scary, and she had her horse whip!
Than while we really needed the time on Wednesday for Rehearsal, we discussed a fund raiser. It was to be talent show where the different groups of performers would be in different areas and the audience would rotate. While I think this is a good idea, I would also really like to have a little festival, with games, masks and stuff.... Wrong part of the world though...... My main worries are that we won't have very many people sign up and trying to make it fun for the audience(which is not just the acts). We will cross that bridge when we come to it though, No bad premonitions at the moment.
We did manage to get the second half of the class for practise. We spent most of the time working out the final order for the piece, which was rather random progression. At least it works. We also managed to stay after school for three hours purely  for drama work. This was to be our dress rehearsal, as we were supposed to present on Friday, and such I had to wear a bow and a corset(don't care what its really called, It was really tight.) I really like Maria's outfit, looks good while still being both of her role. During this time we did a few run through of the entire piece, which present very few errors beyond lack of practise(my intro theme does run a little long though...) Our final run was timed and got 37:32 minutes. A little longer than we thought. (I was guessing 15 minutes and Georgia was 7 minutes...) While we have to cut it down, I want to go the other direction and make it into a public performance.
Fortunately, we were given Friday to prepeare, but the added twist was that Georgia didn't have the "offical costumes". We were forced to improvise from the Costume, Richard brought his own costume(which was VERY silly). I now had a wig, a dress, and a ton of feather boas, much better than a corset. It was all rather loose and fell off over the peice, by the end I was only left with the dress( While unintentional I like it.)
